Here is another archetypical story for Making Class Relevant. Here is the introduction:
Blame it on Indiana Jones and King Tut.
When we think archeology, we think relics of the distant past, guys in pith helmets traveling to far-off lands, and unearthing objects from a millennia of dirt and sand. In reality, archeology is often more recent and closer to home. It goes wherever the mystery is.
Exactly! Students uncovering history! The students profiled in this story were in our classrooms only a few years ago and now they are active historians. This story is a great resource for those studying immigration, archeology, and the relevance of history.
Here is the link to the story and original audio:
