Pompei
For my final field trip I did another virtual field trip, this time of Pompei. I used the World Wonders Project from google to explore Pompei. I would use this in the classroom to have students get the opportunity to walk around in Pompei. I decided to do another virtual field trip as I haven’t had time to do a real one, and because I enjoyed the first one so much. I have traveled to Italy but sadly didn’t get to visit Pompei. It is somewhere that I hope to go someday so thought it would be fun to explore.
I had seen pictures before and had read about it before, but it was not what I was expecting at all. I guess I was thinking it would be more similar to other ancient cities that I’ve been to. I thought it would be more spread out and didn’t expect it to look so much like a modern European city. This field trip was educational for me so I’m sure it would be educational for elementary students especially if they hadn’t yet learned about Pompei.
Your traveling experience would come in great here with this discussion. You could talk about how Europe is different than America and discuss if they have been anywhere really old.
