學習目標
Students will learn about the history of Europe and the Mediterranean through the art, architecture and artefacts of a number of ancient cultures. We will learn to "look" at details of their physical culture to find clues about the way people lived in the ancient world, and we will also learn to interpret material evidence. The goal of this class is for learners to recognize major works and landmarks in European and Mediterranean history.

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.
