Schedule for a Museum Storyteller in Your Classroom -- A free program for 3rd – 5th grades
How do young students build their compassion for others, develop accurate perceptions, and express their awareness of diversity? The Eiteljorg Museum presents From the Eiteljorg Museum to the Classroom: Stories of Cultural Diversity. A good story opens doors to life-long understanding and learning. Through active listening a story becomes meaningful.
From the Museum to the Classroom sends a storyteller into the classroom to share the interesting and engaging history of real people who lived long ago in the American West. The stories are about mountain man and explorer James Beckwourth and Mary Fields, the first African American woman to deliver the U.S. post by stagecoach. They lived in the American West in the mid- to late-1800s. Both railed against personal injustices and, yet, had very different personal experiences and responses to the American West. Students will explore themes of culture and identity as the stories they hear will contradict stereotypes about people who settled in the West.
Curricula and pre- and post-visit activities will soon be posted on the museum’s website, www.eiteljorg.org. The materials are aligned with current national and state Common Core and Academic Standards. The Western author Willa Cather wrote, “Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.” Our hope is that these materials will be used, adapted, shared and improved so that young students can find skills to communicate positively the differences in others; seek out their own history and compare it with that of others; build language skills to best express their thoughts; and remember and build on their life experiences. We know they will have a story to tell.
From the Eiteljorg Museum to the Classroom: Stories of Cultural Diversity is made possible by Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and Frank Curtis and Irving Moxley Springer Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, in loving memory of Irving and Frank Springer.
