Warm up

Start the topic with a discussion on beauty around us. What is the most beautiful place they have seen? Where is it? Is it natural or man made? Is there an agreed ranking on the most beautiful creations in the world? Slowly move the discussion towards the 7 wonders of the world and how some of them are no longer around. Show them pictures of the seven wonders. Is there anyone in the class who has actually seen them? Ask the student to describe how they felt seeing the sight (either in person or in the picture). Ask students if they know where all of these are located. If a student thinks they know allow them to place a maker on the map of the world and then go over the locations of the 7 wonders of the world.

Presentation

Proceed by drawing up a list with students of the criteria that ancient Greeks and Romans seemed to use in putting a work on the list of the original seven wonders of the world: (1) The Pyramids at Giza, (2) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, (3) the Statue of Zeus by Phidias, (4) the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, (5) The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, (6) The Colossus of Rhodes, and (7) the Pharos of Alexandria. If students are blocked, initiate the list by suggesting monumentality or complexity of construction.

Follow up

Direct students to printed books, electronic sources, and other materials (such as travelogues) in which they can read about and see photographs, drawings, or paintings of buildings, monuments, or landscaping of a period or region.

Wrap up

Ask each group, based on its research into a period or region of the world, to nominate a certain number of works of architecture, sculpture, or landscaping as candidates for the label wonder of the world . You may want each group to hand in a list of reviewed sources and give the class an oral presentation with visuals of each work they nominate. In that report, each group should also state which criteria of greatness beyond those already on the list (see second step, above) led them to nominate these works. Keep a running tally of all criteria.
