On-line research on UNESCO World Heritage Sites

On-line research on UNESCO World Heritage Sites

• Go to http://whc.unesco.org 

• Choose two World Heritage sites from Western regions and periods we are studying: Mediterranean, Europe, America. Sites are arranged by modern country names. Be sure to find some point of comparison that you can talk about. 

• Learn when and why the sites were designated by UNESCO. This means studying the UNESCO website for details.

• Learn about the same or similar sites from our textbook. Again, be sure there is a point of comparison. 

• Additional on-line research is OK.

. • Explain in 3-5 pages why your sites are important in the larger story of Western art and architecture. Be sure compare to specific material in the textbook. Be sure to show me that you can apply what we are learning in class to what you find at the UNESCO sites. 

• In an extra page, use photos from the website to explain.
