Today's post highlights the work of one of our former interns, Maria Adamson, who interned with us virtually this past fall as a part of the Cultural Fieldwork Initiative (CFI), a partnership with the Temple University College of Education Social Studies faculty and more than 30 regional cultural institutions. We have two new teaching activities that focus on identification papers of several Chinese people who were “on exhibit” in an ethnographic display in Philadelphia in 1899. You can use The Chinese Village Exhibit at the 1899 Export Exposition for high school, or Contextualizing a Photograph: On Exhibit at the “Chinese Village” for middle school, while teaching about immigration and the Chinese Exclusion Act, imperialism, or while teaching the history of anthropology, “otherness,” and living ethnological displays. Check out Maria's blog post, along with links to her activities, here.

We all need a good laugh every once in awhile, but this week especially. And we laughed 😂 so 😂 hard 😂. Part of the reason we survive such a demanding profession is being able to laugh and commiserate with each other. Otherwise survival would be barely possible. #comedy #teacherlife #LessonPlans #Rigor #Differentiation #Modifications @eddiebcomedy (at Indianapolis, Indiana)

Environmental Education is critical in guiding an understanding, awareness, and appreciation for the well being of our planet and community while shining light on ways to incorporate environmentally conscious decisions into our everyday lives. Your national marine sanctuary system provides excellent resources for students, teachers, and the public. Learn more by visiting https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/learn.html. (Photo: Matt McIntosh/NOAA.
