Summer Institutes June - July 2004-2006 These one-week opportunities combine classroom and field experiences focused on curriculum, instruction, hands-on research, and inquiry-based activities led by experts from WL Project partners. Action research unit plans developed by participants will be shared on the project website, at the second and third annual conferences and in published project materials. Institute topics include: Washington's Legacy: Through the C.V. Starr Center for the Study of
The American Experience at Washington College, Chestertown, MD,
and Mt Vernon, participants will explore first hand the rich resources
for understanding the road to revolution at our nation's beginnings. Schoolship Sultana: This modern schooner, Chestertown's full-scale reproduction
of the 1768 Royal Navy vessel used to enforce English tea taxes
along the coast of colonial North America, will be the traveling
teaching facility for a program concerned with sailing and the colonies'
political climate in the 1760s. Maryland's African American History and Culture: This institute uses the Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture to highlight the work of the Eastern Shore visionaries who challenged the racial status quo in early American history. Participants will experience how the museum's resources can aid student understanding of roles played by African Americans in our past and their implications for the future. Waterways: Creeks, Rivers and Bay: Eastern Shore waterways form a framework for the study of area settlement and development. From Indian artifacts to Oyster Wars, from lighthouses to Tea Parties, participants will explore the intimate relationship between water and Eastern Shore history.
