Subject: Quilts, and teaching teachers...and thanks to Bill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I've been submerged from this list for a while...
...but busy with primary sources, of course.
We're going to teach a curriculum using quilts as icons of culture over
time...looking at 5 time periods (Pioneers, Civil War, Turn of the Century,
WW I, the Depression) and one culture (Amish). It's with second graders so
it will be interesting...
I'm also teaching preservice teachers about primary sources tomorrow.
Here's the structure I'm using:

on "Teaching with Primary Sources"). Thanks to Bill Talley for the shockwave
link below which immediately became part of the lessons!!

irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known,
but to question it." (Jacob Bronowski)
