About the event
Teachers in grades 4-12 are invited to join a FREE daylong workshop on Wednesday, September 25th to practice using Maine-based primary source sets in the classroom. The Woodlawn museum in Ellsworth is hosting Maine Shared History, a collaborative effort of the Maine State Archives, Maine State Library, and Maine State Museum.
Maine Shared History launched a new website this year to provide educators with free packets of local images, artifacts, documents, and sound recordings. Themes include topics such as “Maine Pandemics,” “Power of Maine’s Vote,” “Maine and Slavery,” and the new “Maine Industry” set.
The day will include an introduction to the materials, a simulated classroom experience, time to work with colleagues, and opportunities to move and explore Woodlawn.
