WarSocietyStateCitizenship

OCTOBER 28, 2010, 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. – READING MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTANCE LEARNING LAB Throughout American history the experience of war has fundamentally shaped the ways that Americans think about themselves, their fellow Americans, and the meanings of national citizenship. This session will explore questions such as: What is the balance between liberty and national security during wartime? How has war changed Americans’ relationship with the state and/or their understanding of citizenship? and How and what have Americans protested about war? This orientation seminar will provide an introduction to the History Connected Teaching American History grant and our Year Two theme of “War, Society, State, and Citizenship.” The latter part of the session will include work with teacher leaders from the Teachers’ Curriculum Institute around active teaching and learning strategies for all learners including visual literacy skills, cultivating rich class discussions, and experiential exercises used to engage student understanding of abstract concepts.
