A Four-Day Summer Seminar and Three School-Year Field Trips for Washington, DC Public School and Public Charter School Teachers
Tuesday, June 24 - Friday, June 27, 2008
You are invited to participate in a four-day experiential learning adventure that will prepare you to engage your students in the
Civil War history of Washington and the country through performing speeches and analyzing primary sources, interpreting letters in
order to demonstrate their understanding. Over the course of four mornings, travel to three historic sites in three parts of
Washington. In the afternoons, experience interpretations of important and moving speeches and letters, and learn teaching techniques
that will help integrate interpretive performance into your social studies and English language arts classrooms. We offer a stipend
of $50 per day for your time and one in-class visit by a teaching artist to support your classroom work. We ask you to include the
strategies as part of your social studies and/or language arts classes, and to bring your students, for free and with free arranged
transportation, to the participating historic sites.
