What resources have you used to keep busy during the Pandemic? Are they available to the public? Please consider sharing some of those links and give us a category to list them under on our website so that we can share with other RC 10 members. It’s going to be a long winter.
Here is an example from history:
Gilder-Lehrman Institute of American History offers two free programs. One is Book Breaks every Sunday. A book on History is the focus of the presentation and its author appears for a conversation and background on the subject matter. If you are interested in history, they are wonderful. They typically last about an hour.
- Here is a link to upcoming books: https://www.gilderlehrman.org/programs-and-events/book-breaks
- Here is a link to past recorded presentations: https://www.gilderlehrman.org/programs-and-events/book-breaks/book-breaks-archive
- Also on the same website is Inside the Vault which invites the listener into The Gilder-Lehrman archive vaults to examine documents in their possession. They often invite a professional actor to read the documents. All previous Archived Programs are available here with resources: https://www.gilderlehrman.org/collection/inside-vault-archive. Both of above presentations encourage student participation and in-service credit certificates are given to teachers. Join for free to get reminder emails about upcoming programs.
