I just signed up for a FREE Colonial Williamsburg Electronic Field Trip (CW EFT). We used these programs a few years ago and they are a wonderful learning resource! You can buy the year-long program through Homeschool Buyers Co-op at various times throughout the year. The FREE episode is in September and is called The Will of the People. Below is what the email said about it...
The Electronic Field Trip "The Will
of the People" examines the presidential election of 1800, one of the
most bitter in U.S. history, and provides a surprising lesson for a 21st-century
student. Thomas Jefferson explains how negative campaigning, partisan politics,
and contested elections have been a part of our political system since the
earliest days of the republic.
Complimentary
access to the field trip includes:
-
Online video streaming available 24/7 from September 1 to September 30, 2012
- Email Thomas Jefferson
-
Interactive online games
-
Downloadable resources, such as the teacher guide and program script (PDF)
-
Comprehensive lesson plans for grades 4-8
P.S. My friend, Laurie, over at Teacups in the Garden, has been using these programs with her children for years. Here's her review of "The Will of the People."
