Flow of History will come to you!
These hands-on history inquiries offer students the chance
to analyze artifacts, photographs, and other primary sources. Sarah Rooker
and/or Alan Berolzheimer will visit your class with a box full of artifacts and
other materials to bring history to life for your students. Where possible,
they will bring documents connected to your town or region.
Each inquiry allows students to gain proficiency in explaining differences between historic and present day objects and reconstructing the past through primary sources.
Each inquiry includes historical fiction and writing connections to be completed before and/or after the visit. $350 + travel for a 45 – 60 minute session; $700 for a day + travel.
