I spoke to you about the early people of
northern Europe and the peat bog mummies they accidentally created, as part of
your ancient civilizations curriculum. I showed you many slides taken from
my book Bodies from the Bog. Then I was
able to visit your classrooms to answer your questions about bog bodies,
writing, and other subjects. If you
want to say hi or ask a question, you can e-mail me here.
I want to thank Mrs. Piper for
arranging the day and making it go so smoothly--and all of the teachers who
shared their classrooms with me. But most of all, I want to thank the students of the 6th
grade for being an excellent and enthusiastic audience!
