Winter Holidays

What winter holidays do your students celebrate? Here’s a great chance to explore the different religious and

cultural celebrations throughout the winter months over interactive videoconference!

Award winning author and storyteller Patricia McKissack shares with students over a three part videoconference series her expertise when in comes to writing, and tells participants about her holiday book, Christmas in the Big House, Christmas in the Quarters. This illustrated book, for children ages nine and up, compares the preparations between the plantation mansion and the slave quarters leading up to Christmas celebrations.

During the first videoconference, Pat will talk with the participating teachers about what they are doing in class and how this videoconference relates to their curriculum. In the second and third videoconferences, Pat interacts directly with the students. In the final connection, students will have an opportunity to share their work with their peers and Pat. Pat offers her praise and critique of the work, though often encouraging students to revise and rewrite! The theme of their writing for this videoconference is the winter holiday their family celebrates- Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwaanza, Chinese New Year, etc.

The cost for this three-part series is $650 for New Links to New Learning members and $750 for non-members.

Sign up with Rebecca Morrison at rmorrison@csd.org by November 1, 2010. Bridging will be through MOREnet.

Program Description		The story of America is a story of immigration. From our first colonial settlers through the wave of 19th century immigrants to the 20th century refugees from war and famine to those still coming today, the desire to build a better life has motivated millions to our shores. What does it mean to be an immigrant? What forces compel you to embark on an uncertain journey? What is life like in a new and strange country? To complement your students’ study of historic periods of immigration, cultural diversity, or recent world history, we invite you to hear directly from recent immigrants to St. Louis. In this program, you and your students will have the opportunity to hear first person histories of what it means to be an immigrant to America. Meet recent immigrants to St. Louis who have come from Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Compare their stories to your study of those of others who arrived in previous periods of immigration. What characteristics are similar and what characteristics are unique? What general conclusions can you then make about the reasons for, and processes of, immigration to America? How do the new immigrants contribute to the cultural, political and economic life of America today? How is that similar to, or different from, previous historic periods of immigration? How does hearing stories from these new immigrants increase our understanding of different cultures? How does learning first-hand about their reasons for coming increase our understanding of recent world troubled areas and crises? Meet representatives from The International Institute, a St. Louis organization helping immigrants with their transition to their new life here. How is their work today similar to, or different from, how private and government institutions provided assistance in the past? What are the greatest areas of difficulty as immigrants begin to assimilate into their new environment? How do they help immigrants balance traditions of their culture with demands of their new life? Ask you questions. Hear the stories. Join this compelling discussion of the most recent chapter of America’s story of immigration.
Program Format		The videoconference program will consist of the following segments. 1. Welcome and Introduction—Student groups and experts will be introduced and welcomed to the program. 2. Interaction with the Immigrants and Staff of The International Institute—Students will hear directly from recent immigrants to St. Louis and members of the staff of The International Institute on questions in the areas described in the “Program Description” section of this web exhibit. Once you have enrolled, we will send you the world locations represented by the guests joining us to help your students develop questions for the program. 3. Closing Segment--Including summary of topics discussed and final questions from students.
Objectives		1. The participant will gain a greater understanding of what it means to be an immigrant to America today. 2. The participant will interact with individuals providing primary source accounts of recent world events and immigration transition. 3. The participant will meet people and hear stories from diverse cultural perspectives.
