When Rocks Listen and Wind Whispers: Connecting Then and Now
How can controversy help students' thinking become deeper? In a living culture how do traditions continue? Participants will look at the controversy surrounding the recent auction of Chief Joseph's War Shirt. We will compare Bently Spang's contemporary story "The War Shirt" with Chief Joseph's War Shirt. Participants will look at the benefits of using primary sources and photographs in the classroom.
