I am excited to announce our upcoming workshop "Using Film to Teach Modern World History: From Colonialism and the Cold War to Today." Dr. Donald Reid, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, will guide us. He will help us understand why film is a valuable pedagogical tool and what questions we and our students should ask of the medium to understand modern world history. We'll also watch film clips so we can learn as a group how to evaluate film and teach these skills to our students.
The free workshop will be on Saturday, April 12, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus in the Peabody/School of Education Building. Participants will receive .5 continuing education unit hours, and this workshop meets standard course of study goals in World History, AP World History, AP European History, and American History. A continental breakfast and full lunch will be provided.
To register for this workshop, please RSVP to phe@unc.edu by Monday, April 7th. Please provide me with your name, school/district, and subject you teach, if you need CEUs, and your meal preference
(turkey, chicken, or vegetarian option).
Please pass our flyer announcing our program to your colleagues and friends.
Thanks so much for letting me share this news with you, and I hope to see you in April!
