I'd like to take advantage of the wealth of experience out there on
the subject of heritage education using activity kits.
I am developing a hands-on classroom resource kit which explores the
natural and cultural history of the Chinook Indians who lived on the
Columbia River at what is now an archaeological site on a national
wildlife refuge in southwestern Washington. The kit is geared toward
grades one through seven, and will include: artifact replicas made by a
tribal artist; teacher's guide with lesson/activity plans; floral and
faunal samples; as well as slides, videotape, audiotape, and classroom
reference books.
I am interested to know:
1. What other kits exist out there along these lines
2. What especially effective/ineffective kit components or designs have
been observed.
3. Tips on creating a professional-looking product on a very small budget.
4. Any words of advice, caution, and/or moral support from those who have
had experience with this sort of endeavor.
Thanks,
Virginia Parks
