Daren's tour standers and reasons

My tour would be focused at 6th grade and would covered the social studies standard 1, Objective 2 which is as follows:

Standard 1
-Students will understand how ancient civilization developed and how the contributed to the current state of the world

Objective 2: Evaluate how religion has played a central role in human history from ancient times to today.

The reason I though to do a Google tour on religious sites is because I feel a student would be better able to understand the impact a religion has on a culture by comparing famous religious structures to the areas surrounding them. By looking at images of these structures and seeing what kind of impact they have on the city, I feel the students would get a better idea on how region has influenced cultures since these structures are right in the middle of their cities rather then out in the middle of no where. I also feel that using the Google tour would be more effective then using pictures due to the fact that the students could actually travel around the city and discover things that have been effected by religion on their own. I felt that this would be much more beatifically then just having the teacher show a lot of pictures of cultures affected by religion.
