There is a series of six connections beginning with a review game between the two schools on those topics. The third event features a connection about atomic bombing put on by the Center for Global Studies in Bloomington. The fourth event features a connection with a Holocaust survivor from the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. And the final connection will involve the students in a debate on the topic of the National World War II monument. This is an interdisciplinary multimedia unit and quite innovative.
More information is available by request.
Out of the darkness Out of the darkness is a grant written by Sheila Sparks, teacher at Owen Valley Middle School, related to the Middle Ages. This project features a live festival put on by the Society for Creative Anachronism. It also includes a connection subsequent to the festival on medieval weaving, again supplied by the Society. Also featured were connections with the Indianapolis Museum of Art which demonstrated symbolism in medieval art. The grant has now been completed and is in the final writing stages of the evaluation of all the events.
