Packing the West: A Classroom History Series LIMITED
Tuesday August 5, 2025 3:15pm - 4:00pm PDT
Salon D
Packing the West is designed to inspire in students a curiosity about the history of the American West, an appreciation of its literature, and the desire to explore these areas further. They will learn about historical topics by watching students like themselves meet historical characters in a series of short videos. They have an opportunity to learn more through a series of classroom activities, and independent reading as teachers can utilize packets of supplemental curricula materials for each topic.

This session will be presented by one of the creators of the programs. If scheduling allows one of the student actors who brings the stories to life also will be involved.
