They will discuss the learning process behind their work, and for the alumni, what it means to them years later. Workshop participants will discuss paths to discover under-told stories from their local and global communities, and will work together to find ways to make the stories known through writing and the arts.","Description":"Jubilee students in grades 5 and 6 have been researching, writing and illustrating pieces for a student-created textbook that they are publishing. In order to learn truths about their history, our students learn to dig below the surface and find under-told stories of African American courage, resistance and collective accomplishments. This builds a strong sense of the richness of their culture and their legacy, as well as their vital place in history.","Link":["http:\/\/jubileeschool.net"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"The whole presentational will be conversational. Lashe Miles, a graduate who was vitally involved in the formation of the textbook, will ask present and former Jubilee students questions about about the research, interviews, writing and illustrating they engaged in, and what impact the process it has had on them. Workshop attendees will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation. After the presentation, discussion groups will be formed to come up with ideas for their students to engage in research about under-told stories from their own communities, or about the stories behind the stories in American and\/or world history. Participants will be encouraged to keep in touch with each other as their projects are tried out in their classrooms.","Presenter":["Karen Falcon","Jamila Carter"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Jubilee School"],"PresenterEmail":["kfalcon@jubileeschool.net"],"ScheduleSlotID":134,"ScheduleLocationID":4,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"A workshop similar to this was led by Jubilee alumni last summer, and was very well received. One teacher participant said it was especially meaningful to hear about the project directly from the students who were involved in it.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9}}
