"Dear Sirs" is a 3-time EMMY winning documentary, which tells the story of a Wyoming solider who became a Prisoner of War in Germany during WWII. The film was written, directed, filmed, and produced by Wyoming natives Mark Pedri and Carrie McCarthy. In this session, the filmmakers and the curriculum developer will present their curriculum to highlight a cross-curricular approach to teaching narratives and WWII. Using a brief excerpt from the film, they will discuss how the narrative methodology in the film is a powerful tool to not only engage students in learning about history, but to exemplify a personal narrative that students will use to create a personal narrative of their own in a final project. This session is directed towards 6-12 ELA and Social Studies educators; however, all are invited to attend to learn about local history and gain new ideas and perspectives on how to teach ELA and Social Studies standards.
