Italy unit

Hi Sarah-You didn't mention what grade you teach, but when I taught grade 5, we read the book "From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler". The story actually takes place in New York, but deals primarily with a sculpture that may or may not have been made by Michaelangelo. I tied that in to many lessons on Italy and Italian Renaissance art. The kids loved it. I even had them paint "Sistine Chapel style" by taping a piece of paper to the underside of their desks and painting while lying on their backs! If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know!
