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

Fee: $3 per class OR $8 for the series

This class is an introduction and exploration of Spanish language, culture and themes. Students will be exposed to Spanish through games, stories, songs and art. Classes will be held 2/4, 2/18, 3/4 & 3/18.
Learning another language strengthens critical- thinking and problem solving skills. Language study also raises students’ cultural awareness and respect. Additionally, language skills have been shown to positively affect standardized test scores, provide competitive career opportunities and wider possibilities in life. Second language acquisition and its’ benefits are most effective when begun at the elementary level and continued thereafter.
Some topics covered in this course are colors, numbers, body parts, animals, weather, greetings, adjectives and descriptions, action words, home life and classroom vocabulary.
Classes will be conducted primarily in Spanish.
