Are you curious about mummies? Do you like to learn about people in the past and their customs? In this class, we will learn about mummies from 4 different continents around the world: Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. Mummification was not just for the Egyptian pharaohs; you will discover mummies, both human and animal, from different areas of the world, and how they have been mummified. You'll learn about the cultures from which they came, the way the bodies were mummified (whether natural or intentional - what's the difference?), see cool pictures, hear about any genetic work that has been done, learn about mummy controversies, and more! We will start each class with a background of the civilization and geographic location we are investigating, and then get right into their mummies! I teach in an open lecture style, where I go through engaging slides, stories, and archaeological evidence. Students are asked open-ended questions throughout and are encouraged to ask questions of me at any time. During the last 5-10 minutes, we will talk about we have learned, ask more questions or hear stories of the ancient world and archaeological digs. Week 1: Bog People of Europe and other European mummies Week 2: Mummies of Peru Week 3: Tarim Mummies of China Week 4: Egyptian mummies
Metas de aprendizaje
Learners will discover mummies from 4 ancient civilizations, the analyses performed on them, their cultural impact, and learn about various mummification processes from around the ancient world. Students will be looking at archaeological evidence and learn how to fairly interpret information about ancient civilizations.

Orientación para padres
The subject of mummies can be fun but gruesome at times! I will contact parents/guardians of the learners prior to class to remind them about the nature of some of the slides.
Lista de útiles escolares
I will post on the class page a one-page handout for Weeks 1-3. For Week 4 (Egyptian mummies), I will post a two-page handout.

Fuentes
I will present the class material through the use of slides, both from my own private collection and from archaeological excavations and museum collections. The students will look at the archaeological material and learn how to interpret it, and discover that evidence can lead to different opinions. I strongly believe that all evidence must be investigated and viewed equally, and I do reinforce this important concept every week.
As an archaeologist, I base my classes on scholarly texts, scientific secondary sources such as textbooks, scholarly journals (Archaeology Magazine, National Geographic, Penn University publications, etc.), and archaeological reports, while keeping it age appropriate. I also use primary sources, for example Homer, English translations of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Latin texts, etc. Other visuals than my own are drawn from sites such as Open Licensed Images, Ancient World Image Bank, World History Encyclopedia, the New York Public Library Digital Collection, and Public Domain Pictures. All sites allow for free use of images, with credits.
Learners do not need to access any sites during class.

Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Queen's University, Ontario, Canada
I am a trained archaeologist, and I excavated at sites such as Mytilene and Kommos in Greece for many field seasons. I have travelled extensively through Europe, and I have taught Greek and Roman art, archaeology and mythology at Concordia University, Montréal. I held a position at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, where I created and led tours for children on the topics of Greek, Roman and Egyptian archaeology, the Medieval period, dinosaurs and natural history. More recently, I have taught labs on water science and solar energy to Kindergarten and Grade 1 students through Scientists in School. Since July 2021, I have had the pleasure of teaching many archaeology and ancient civilizations classes on Outschool. Reseñas
