Middle/High School:
Creating First Person Interpretations
History Class for 5th and above -- class dates -- 1/21, 2/18, 3/4, 3/18
Students will choose a time period, and person to interpret. It could be an actual person or a soldier, Native American, doctor, a young person from a period in time, etc.We will use the internet to browse historic newspapers, contact museum and library archives, look for histories to assist developing an accurate historic presentation.
As an example how I have used this in the past… I was paid by a historical society to research an actual person and I created a one woman show for a historic tea they had. At historic houses I created specialized tours around holidays researching what was going on in the town one hundred years earlier and incorporating it into the tour. You can create a special tour using journals and letters to enhance a special day or event. Reenactors research what the life of a soldier, Native American, etc. What their average day was like, what they were paid, what they ate, etc.
We will work together developing your character or historic persona and then video your presentation. We can discuss how you would like your presentation video done. If you are able to do it at home, at a historic house, etc. and present it to the class that would be fine. Those interested, please email Jan a person, idea or time period you are interest in so she can have some information ready first class. If you have any questions and to register, please email Jan at jemick39@yahoo.com
12:00p - 1:00p
