Learn about the museum's hands-on approach to history and gain content knowledge and strategies to enrich your classroom. Teaching Medieval Civilizations The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine and the Cloisters Museum and Gardens are invaluable educational resources for school groups of all ages. Exploring these institutions' collections and unique settings allows students to discover the art and culture of the Middle Ages. Through inquiry, discussion, and hands-on activities, this interactive session will inspire teachers to make the medieval period relevant and alive for their students today. Abraham Lincoln: Slavery and the Problem of Emancipation Abraham Lincoln is one of America's most beloved presidents. His two terms as president have left much room for discussions and a variety of historical interpretations over his actions. Two areas of discussion are his views on equality and his role in ending slavery. Handouts and CD will be provided. Human Rights and U.S. Policy Need help engaging your students in critical analysis of the role of the U.S. in today’s world? Participants will work with the Human Rights unit from Brown University’s Choices Program, examining the issues, ideologies, agendas, and wildcards that are influencing global affairs as they debate what should be the U.S.’s foreign policy priorities in the coming years. Reading, Writing, and Researching in the Content Areas: Reading and Writing like a Researcher to Investigate Questions in a Research Community The Common Core State Standards and the authors of teacher effectiveness have helped educators across the country shine a spotlight on argument — the art of being persuasive by backing up your claims with evidence. The National Social Studies Frameworks focus on argument. The path is clear: we need a cohesive and comprehensive curriculum across disciplines that teaches powerful argument and helps students ratchet up their skills in persuasion, logic, and research. Virtual Economics (VE) and EconEdLink: Resources to Explain the Past and Prepare for the Future Students need an “Economic Way of Thinking” to prepare for economic and financial independence. A free copy of VE 4.0 (60 publications, 18 for K-8 teachers) featuring new videos and simulations and EconEdLink (1100 free lessons) will be featured as a resource for teachers to help achieve this goal. - - - - - - - - - SESSION 2 12:15PM - 2: 45PM A New Look at WWII: Making Global History Tangible and Local During World War II, New York City was the major Port of Embarkation for North Africa and Europe, and an important manufacturer of warships and ammunitions, yet even New Yorkers know little about their city’s role in the Allied victory. The presenters will discuss their efforts to advance education and public knowledge about the war and its legacies, and to draw upon oral history collections to inform and engage students and teachers 6 Social Studies, Neuroscience, and the Common Core An enormous amount of recent neuroscience research underscores that social studies are not just "content" for Common Core readings, they promote neural pathways and "habits of mind" essential for acquisition of reading and math skills. This workshop reviews this research and provides K-12 scaffolds and multimedia lessons based on it. Thinking Like a Historian - Using Common Core to Support Student Historians and Social Scientists. A Clinic for Pre-Service and New Teachers The Common Core Standards provide a framework for teaching students to inquire like historians. In this clinic, participants will apply the standards by experiencing strategies that support diverse students to read, talk, and write like historians. Activities include "wall talk" and a scaffolded approach to document analysis and evidence-based writing. Put the World in Their Hands: Creating Project-Based Learning Environments Using literary works, participants will learn a process for integrating technology to align with the Common Core Standards in a Project Based learning environment. Teachers will present real-world problems students will try to solve using a project in which the students integrate STEM related results while adhering to the CCSS-ELA. Columbus, an Entrepreneur? Isabella, a Venture Capitalist? You are Columbus pleading your plan to Isabella, swapping goods on the Silk Road or trade real goods in “The Columbian Exchange”. These free interactive lessons provide knowledge and retention strategies to improve Regents’ scores.

  • IN the FOOTSTEPS of MARCO POLO Biographies Denis Belliveau and Francis O'donnell Met on an Archeology Dig in France in 1984
    IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARCO POLO Biographies Denis Belliveau and Francis O’Donnell met on an archeology dig in France in 1984. After leaving the School of Visual Arts, where they both studied, they traveled together to a variety of countries, including Mexico, most of Latin America, Europe and Nepal, before deciding to follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo. Denis Belliveau Born in 1964 in Whitestone, Queens, Denis attended the New York City High School of Art & Design. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York where he earned an Associates Degree in painting, sculpture and fine arts. In 1987, when his father became ill, Denis joined his parent’s wedding photography studio and became an accomplished portraitist. In the wedding “off-season,” Denis would travel. It was during this time he started joining various professional photography organizations, including Kodak, which would later award him the prestigious Gallery Award and helped sponsor the Marco Polo trip by providing film. In 1991, Denis decided to leave the family business and was packing for a trip to Nepal when Francis suggested following Marco Polo’s route from Venice to China and back. In 1999, Denis met Lisa Taylor and the two of them later moved to London, where Denis came up with the idea to use the video shot on their journey and make a film. Denis and Lisa now have two sons and reside in Douglas Manor, Queens. Denis is the Director of Photography and Senior Cameraman for the national public television series Real Moms, Real Stories, Real Savvy.

  • Marco Polo I Njegov Le Divisiment Dou Monde (Opis Svijeta): Fikcija I Fakcija U Književnoj Historiografiji
    FILOZOFSKI FAKULTET Željana Puljiz-Šostik MARCO POLO I NJEGOV LE DIVISIMENT DOU MONDE (OPIS SVIJETA): FIKCIJA I FAKCIJA U KNJIŽEVNOJ HISTORIOGRAFIJI DOKTORSKI RAD Mentor: prof. dr. sc. Dean Duda Zagreb, 2015. FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES Željana Puljiz-Šostik MARCO POLO AND HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD: FACT AND FICTION IN THE HISTORY OF LITERATURE DOCTORAL THESIS Supervisor: prof. dr.sc. Dean Duda Zagreb, 2015. Zahvale Možda zahvale u doktorskoj radnji nisu toliko uobičajene, ali ova je disertacija zaista nastajala u izrazito neprimjerenim okolnostima - tako da ću ih, vjerujem bez zamjerke, uzeti sebi za pravo. Jer naprosto osjećam dužnost zahvaliti se Ljudima bez čije podrške, pomoći, znanja i mudrosti ona nikad ne bi bila napisana. Neizmjerno se tako zahvaljujem mojemu Mentoru, Profesoru i Piscu Deanu Dudi na samopouzdanju koje mi je dao prilikom prvih konzultacija, a bez kojega se nikako ne bih mogla upustiti u priču o Putniku i Knjizi. Premda on toga vjerojatno nije ni bio svjestan, na vrata mu je tad u proljeće god. 2012. kucala jedna od najvećih hrvatskih autsajderica. Ovdje svakako valja spomenuti da je on jedini pokazao – i to zavidni - interes za moju temu te je odmah prepoznao njenu važnost. Također bih mu se htjela zahvaliti i na knjigama koje nam je dao, a koje su me zadnjih petnaestak godina – poglavito na delhijskom Anand Niketanu i zagrebačkoj Pešči - hranile, izgrađivale i oblikovale. Nadalje, zahvaljujem se mojem Meceni - mami Zoji, na „stipendiji“ (velikodušnoj financijskoj potpori i, naravno, podršci da ustrajem) bez koje ova radnja ni u snu ne bi bila započeta, a kamoli privedena kraju. Beskrajno me zadužila, osim literaturom koju mi je pribavljala, i što sam uz nju polističku arhivsku problematiku počela sagledavati očima pravnika, a upravo su me one dovele do važnih rješenja.
