*** [[[ THE GRAND TOUR OF EUROPE ]]] ***
Looking for a Web-enabled way to teach European culture and
art from the 17th through the 19th centuries? Why not send
your secondary students on the Grand Tour of Europe, following
the twentysomethings of that era?
Matt Rosenberg, the editor of Geography.About.Com, has
a new essay (700 words, Grade 11 reading level) at
about the British version of the Grand Tour.
For the American version which Mark Twain made famous,
go to http://www.grand-tour.org. There, the Flagler Museum
of Palm Beach, Florida, has a similar essay and also a Web-
based Grand Tour of the 19th century eastern Mediterranean.
A bright student team could turn the Grand Tour into a
WebQuest, like the one for a tour of modern France at
Their finished WebQuest could become the Grand Tour of Europe
for other students who are less adept with Web-based projects.
As far as I can tell, no historical Grand Tour WebQuest has
been placed on the Web yet.
Thanks to André Ruhigisha, my Open Learning Agency colleague,
for the idea of the Grand Tour.
