On Sunday, we wrapped up our professional development work with our partner teachers and enjoyed a final celebratory lunch. We were then off to an area known as the "Cradle of Humankind" World Heritage site for the significant anthropology finds and strong evidence of early man. There are a series of caves that visitors can explore, but due to a shortage of time and claustrophobic tendencies among several teachers (me included) we opted for the Maropeng museum. The museum takes visitors through the early history of time, including the big bang, the formation of earth, the development of early life, and finally the evolution of man. This museum was especially valuable for me and the 10th grade Global History class I teach, as we begin with ancient history.
