This workshop will "involve teachers in an interdisciplinary approach to teaching social studies with colonial American history as the focus. Teachers will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with noted historians, meet character interpreters, and take part in reenactments of eighteenth-century events. They will review various interactive teaching techniques with a mentor teacher and with each other. Instructional materials in a variety of media will be provided to participants to use in their classrooms. Together with Colonial Williamsburg staff, teachers will prepare new instructional materials for use in their own classrooms."

In addition to Lowell’s landmark resources, it will take full advantage of Old Sturbridge Village exhibits and scholars to explore pre-industrial rural life and draw on the expertise of scholars and presenters at Walden Pond and the Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, to explore how prominent authors addressed the question of industrialization’s effect on American life, values, and the environment."

"The workshop will use sites in Atlanta to tell the powerful and provocative stories of the imposition and demolition of the Color Line. The workshop participants will explore the Fox Theater, where the physical barriers of a segregated facility are still visible. They will walk the streets of the two principal historic districts that trace the history of the color line, the Martin Luther King National Historic Site and the Atlanta University National Register District. They will visit sites throughout the city where Civil Rights history is memorialized. The participants will have background readings and primary historic documents, access to historic site documentation on the websites of the Library of Congress (American Memory), the National Park Service, and the Landmark sites themselves in their study of the color line. They will hear lectures in their meeting places and at the sites they visit. Participants will receive resource packets with primary and secondary source materials for principal historical figures and the landmark sites with which they are associated in Atlanta."

"From Miami's Little Havana to the immigrant world of West Tampa, from Immokalee farm worker centers to the cigar cities of Key West and Ybor City, Latinos have helped to shape Florida's cultural fabric. Examine the complexities of race, culture, ethnicity, identity, and nationality through a Latin lens. Probe the implications of the New Latino political movements, debates about immigrant rights, and the politics of diversity in our attempt to build a definition of what it means to be 'Floridian' in the new century."

"This workshop offers educators an opportunity for a lively exploration of the fascinating historic and cultural trajectory of Florida in the 20th Century. Among the topics the workshop will explore are: the land boom, tourism, agriculture and environment, technology, immigration, and the internationalization of Florida."
