Pacific Northwest History for Washington State Teachers

Description

This class introduces the content, resources and methods needed to teach the history of Washington State and the Pacific Northwest. You read, analyze and discuss a wide variety of primary sources, including oral histories, diaries, memoirs, newspaper articles, speeches, promotional brochures and legal proceedings. You consider not only what these texts tell us about our region's past, but also how you might use such materials to construct engaging lessons for K-8 students. In addition, you view and discuss how to employ films, photographs, paintings, museum exhibits and other visual sources. Readings and classroom activities seek to set the regional past into the broader context of U.S. history, informed by the state's social studies standards.

Five Thursdays: April 17 and 24; May 8, 15 and 29, 4 to 8 p.m.
