- Summary:
-
This chapter describes the development of a set of programs called "History Comes Alive," a series of historical simulations and interactive experiences for students at heritage sites in Ontario. The programs allow students from Ontario and New York to relive the past by spending 3 days and 2 nights in a simulated historical setting. In addition to history, other curriculum areas such as music, drama, and technology are incorporated into each package. Program development involved creating an inventory of potential sites; gaining cooperation of federal, provincial, and private agencies that operate the sites; outlining the roles of the classroom teacher and site interpreters; and pilot-testing each program. The five programs take place at Fort Henry, the Rideau Canal, the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, and the historic areas and waterfront of Kingston, Ontario. Descriptions of the Fort Henry and Rideau Canal programs illustrate common program elements: pretrip preparation, use of period costume, sleeping at least one night within the historical context, subsequent related classroom work, and a final celebration of the unit of study with parents and friends. Student responses indicate enthusiasm and engagement in the programs, while teachers note improvements in classroom climate and student responsibility, cooperation, and problem solving. Continuing efforts to keep the programs alive include development of new resource materials, strengthening the partnerships between cooperating agencies, and providing teacher inservice training. Suggestions are offered for applications in other places. (SV)
