Participants will meet
and learn how to use primary documents from the State Historical Museum
as well as incorporating learning from community resources such as a
local cemetery. Participants will develop a unit of instruction that
aligns with the common core and incorporates primary source documents
and technology into the required student work.
On the first day, class participants will be taking part in a
walking tour of the East Village area of Des Moines. Please wear
comfortable walking shoes and consider having water to make sure your
comfort needs are taken care of during this learning activity. Day 2
will begin at the Woodland Cemetery. Be prepared to walk on uneven
ground and again have water as needed. We will take an official class
break at the conclusion of this morning learning segment during which
time class participants will have ample time to drive back to the State
Historical Museum where we will be for the remainder of the day.
The registration fee includes the book "Historical Thinking and
Other Unnatural Acts, Charting the Future of Teaching the Past" by Sam
Wineburg.
