Summary: |
The discovery of the Lindow Man in a bog in England in 1984 provides the structure for the archeological and anthropological study of human remains found in bogs. The author includes a map, source notes, a glossary, a bibliography, and an index that are useful teaching extensions. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Most chapters lend themselves to nonfiction text strategies such as Herringbone, Save the Last Word for Me, and double-entry journals. Teachers could use the book in a text set with Bone Detectives and Buried in Ice in which science provides the tools for solving a mystery. Further extensions might include mummies and ancient Egypt, burial rituals in different cultures, the scientific method, and trips to local museums. |
