How to Create a 'Shadow' . The program is at the International Center for East Asian Archaeology and Cultural History at Boston University on Day 1 and at The Children's Museum, Boston, on Day 2.

Early registration is advised.
During the afternoon master teachers present classroom applications and lesson plans. This full-day conference looks at culture and daily life in the Chinese provinces from which baby girls have been adopted into New England homes, and a West African region, including Ghana, where many African Americans trace their cultural heritage.

Teaching About Ancient China Through Inventions is to be scheduled from 4 - 7 pm in the last week of April.
