From Colonialism to Newscasting Aside from the usual classroom lectures, Ameri- can History Through Arts and Crafts gave stu- dents the chance to relive some of the experiences of the early Americans. Students constructed chairs, weather vanes, and stools, often with the aid of early-Ainerican style tools. They experi- mented with quill pens and found writing with them more difficult than they had expected. Although this course no longer fulfilled the junior history requirement, students still enjoyed the per- sonal contact with history that the course offered. While those in the Arts and Crafts course expe- rienced early American History, students in Mr. Boardman's Critical Issues class experienced the problems of modern newscasting. The class was divided into two teams, both responsible for pres- enting a newscast centered on a certain topic. The news teams not only learned about the material they researched, they also gained experience in interviewing, copy writing, and reporting. These, along with the many other History elec- tives were designed to meet a wide range of stu- dent interests, from art to debating, while still teaching the basic ideals of past, as well as modern history. Above: After posing a difficult question, Mr. Boardman waits for his class' response. Above Right: Amused by the comments of his students, Mr. Doll con- siders a retort.
