This workshop will provide teachers with in-depth background on the rich history of Germantown, as represented by five exceptional museums. It will provide resources (e.g.., the Germantown Historical Society, museum educator-consultants, literature lists and websites) for teachers and students to explore this multicultural study of community history throughout the school year. The visits to the historic houses will enrich teachers’ and students’ on-site learning with a “do it, see it, feel it” approach. Teachers will learn how to elicit good observation and writing skills using these experiences. Workshop instruction in using the pre-and post-visit readings, related literature selections, cross curriculum activities and writing exercises – particularly the varied writing types and styles utilized in students’ “Youth Reporter” assignments- offers excellent preparation and support for Common Core strategies and goals.
