Checking out a historical map in the library.
Last week, Studio in a School brought teachers from PS 255 in Gravesend to BHS for a professional development workshop. We looked at primary source documents in the BHS library and exhibits, then created exhibition boards for the classroom.
Creating the exhibition boards.
The teachers were great, and very interested in the subject matter which was slavery and abolitionism in Brooklyn. I always enjoy working with teachers, especially when they get into the cutting, pasting, and creating!
