What educators are saying

My students were extremely engaged when using this resource. They really enjoyed the time lapse video of the eruption.
My 8th graders enjoyed this activity and I liked the diversity of the activities. Critical thinking skills were employed and it was interesting to see each student's approach for the online artifact selection. I have many students who are hard to engage and this activity was a success.

Description

The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii is a story that captures students’ attention and makes them hungry for more information. Students love the stories behind those who lived in Pompeii at the time of the eruption and examining what was left behind. Students also have so many questions. Did anyone survive the eruption? Why were people living so close to an active volcano? How much damage did the eruption cause? 

To help answer these questions, use one, two, three, or all four activities in this resource! As with all of my products, this activity comes in both paper AND digital formats, making it perfect for in-person learners, remote learners, and a hybrid version of both! 

What’s Included 

Both PAPER and DIGITAL versions of four highly engaging activities: 

- Vocabulary Chart Activity

- Time Lapse Video of Pompeii Video

- Primary Source Analysis from Pliny the Younger

- Pompeii Artifacts Analysis
