Bringing History Home

Elizabeth Ridgway, Director of Education Outreach for the U.S. Library of Congress, and Anne Savage, Education Resource Specialist for the LOC, travel to Cedar Rapids this week to observe Kim Heckart's Predict and Infer model in action.  For the visit, Kim is teaching a new predict and infer mini-unit that incorporates visual and written sources on the early 20th century era of the women's suffrage movement.  The accompnaying read aloud for contextualization and connections is A Time For Courage: The Suffragette Diary of Kathleen Bowen, Washington, D.C. 1917 (Dear America Series) by Kathryn Lasky (2002).
