This manual is a compilation of resources from many teachers and other State Parks manuals. We are constantly striving to make this manual serve the teachers as best as it can. If you have an addition, comment, spelling correction, or idea pertaining to the information in this manual please send it to: ELP Manual c/o Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park 3325 Adobe Road Petaluma, CA 94954 Or email to [email protected] with the words “ELP Manual” in the subject line. We would especially like to thank the teachers who responded to our appeal to help us with the changes to the old manual that we felt was severely outdated. Many thanks go to Sandi Morgan who, for years, has been providing an excellent authentic 1840’s program for her students and parents. Sandi enlists the help of 8th grade docents, many of whom participated as 4th graders, who return as “Supervisors”. She has provided us with many sources and reading materials to enrich our program. Also, a big thanks to: Robin Joy from Fort Ross SHP who allowed us to borrow heavily from her reservation system and her manual. Larry Costa, retired State Park Ranger, who set the ball rolling many times to revamp the manual and who still contributes his words of wisdom. Glenn Burch, retired State Park Historian, who started this program for all the State Parks in the area. We are grateful to him for the work that he did and hope he’s enjoying his sails around the world. Peggy Fontenot, employee and volunteer, who contributed many materials for the cooking and Native American sections of the manual. Her work is invaluable. Vaughn Filer who dedicates her time to willingly helping with our Teachers’ Workshop. Nancy Stevens, retired teacher, who provided the outline for the cooking station rotation breakdown. To the previous teachers who have put their hearts and souls into making the Petaluma Adobe SHP ELP a great event for their students. It is a lot of work and we admire those who undertake it. To Sally, Sophie, Mop-top, Luna, Luma, Sol, and Matty who provide us with love and entertainment. To the park staff and volunteers who make the Teachers’ Workshop’s possible and enjoyable. 08-06-07 The Environmental Living Program Definition: “Environmental Living”, as the names implies, is an actual living, overnight experience for children that takes place at any cultural, historic, prehistoric, or natural site where the interaction and the interdependency of people and their environment are represented. It relies heavily on pre-program explorations and preparations, role- playing, and problem solving. “Environmental Living” is much more than this, by recreating and solving some of the environmental tasks and problems of the past, we can come to understand the present-solve some of our problems. Introduction: The Environmental Living Program is a role-playing experience through which the participants simulate a historic life style. Children, by experiencing as closely as possible, the reality of another time period or culture, become more acutely aware of both elements of that environment as their own. In both environments, they can and will have to solve many problems of living. Through this
