Jennifer Davis Bowman, Ed.D. writes in Teachers.Net Gazette:
After thinking about the curriculum that most educators (including myself) fall into during the month of February, I compiled a list of 8 things to avoid during the study of Black History. [Click below to read her list.]
They talked about the mental and physical abuse they endured as slaves and about how they were split from their families as they were sold off. Then the reenactors told the kids they were going to escape, and walked them through the rules to stay hidden and the signs to know where to go through old songs such as Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, and Follow the Drinking Gourd. Finally, we put out the fire and split the kids into groups.
Each of the nature center staff took a group and (quickly and silently) they ran through the woods, ducking for cover when a carriage (car) drove by or we heard a noise. We'd keep the kids out there for about an hour switching back on trails disorienting them, and then would end up at the "station" which was an old farmhouse by the entrance to the nature center.
The kids had a great time and would really get into it, and you could see a tremendous change in their attitude by the end of it. It even got them thinking about contemporary history and the problems we face today with racial issues and mistreatment of peoples.

The school that takes part would be featured in print around DC. The program lasts about 45min-1hour and involves a conversation directly between the students and someone who will share their own personal story of being directly involved that day, if you know of anyone that might be interested.

I am a contacting you from England and I wonder if you could help me.
Could you please tell me, do teachers write summer end of year reports to parents in your country.
If so, what format are these in and do they reflect the entire years subjects taught or are they a more general summary of a child’s year and achievements.

My name is Muriel Reboul, I am French and work as a French Linguistic Attachée in Australia. Actually, I am going to work in this country until the end of 2003. After that, I am looking for a job in America, more specifically in Washington DC in order to live with my partner who is working in this city. I am very keen to work in the same field than now. I mean I am very keen to look for some jobs concerning the teaching of French or the promotion of my language towards teachers of French. I red your email you sent to "Teachers of French" and apparently you are working for a small compagny that sells and write reproductible activities for French Teachers. I wonder if you had some contacts that I would be able to reach in order to get a job in Washington DC. Sorry to ask you that... but, I try to email many different people in order to get different information and you seem to be aware of the different job opportunities in the frame of teaching of French. Thank you! Best regards, Muriel Reboul
PS: Concerning your request about suggestions for activities that would be needed by French Teachers in the US, I can maybe help you. In my current job, I have to create different activities for teachers of French in Australia and advice them. So, if you want to contact me, don't hesitate to email me! ([email removed])
