The Ancient History eText Blog
The Refrigerator - The students post work they are proud of as their "Refrigerator" - what you would hang on your fridge at home, or find some information that they found interesting which relates to the fields of ancient history or archaeology. 

Unit Pages - They also create a page for each unit of study for this class.  On this page they display examples of their writing, what they think about what they are learning, research, or projects they created during the unit.

The Ancient History Timeline Project - This ongoing project is designed to help the students see and understand the correlation of events in history.  They can compare what was going on concurrently in different places and cultures, recognize the interaction and transfer of ideas across civilizations, find catalysts causing specific effects, as well as registering events which affect the history of the ancient world.
