Gander Academy's Theme-Related Resources on the World Wide Web
Ancient Egypt! Vikings! Hurricanes! Monsters! These are but a few of the Theme Pages featured on this comprehensive site. For example, the Medieval Times page will link you to everything medieval...knights, castles, clothing, music, weapons, technology and more! If you're a student, a teacher, or just curious (like me), this is a site well worth exploring! (Hint: if you're doing a report on medieval castles, why not construct Merlin's Castle to give your project that extra "oomph"?)
