Teaching with Primary Sources: Ethnic Studies through a Geographic Lens
The Center for Geography Education in Oregon (C-GEO) and the Oregon Historical Society (OHS) present a three-day institute on teaching the new Social Science Standards Integrated with Ethnic Studies through a geographic lens. A focus of the institute will be researching Portland’s Japantown– or Nihonmachi in Japanese– through primary source analysis, field work, and museum exhibit visits. Participants will create analysis tools and a lesson plan to use in their classroom.
