The following changes have been made to the sites in
Critical Thinking Internet Activities: Ancient and Medieval History.
The changes have been added to the list of links for the book,
so you can just go to that page and link directly to the
new or modified sites when you use the book.

(updated September 2, 2004)

Activity 1

Instead of the Archaeology page listed in the book, use http://www.rom.on.ca/digs/munsell. Have students answer questions 1b) - 1d).

Unfortunately, Econopolis is no longer available. Instead, give your students a brief overview of the concept of supply and demand, and discuss products they can think of as stated in the book. Examples you might want to give in your overview include:

high supply (lots available), low demand (little wanted): last year's leftover clothing fashions

high demand (lots wanted), low supply (little available): the latest "blockbuster" video game that's often sold out at the stores

high supply, high demand: school supplies (point out that there's a high demand for these items even if kids don't want to buy them - since they're required to buy them, the demand remains high)

Activity 10: A Modern Medieval Castle

Thinkquest: Journey Through the Middle Ages is no longer available.

Ian's Land of Castles can now be found at http://inside.bard.edu/academic/specialproj/darling/castle/castles.htm.
