TEACHING BERLIN ? A TRAVEL SEMINAR June 2008
Educators from all disciplines and levels interested in honing their teaching skills while exploring one of the world's most exciting cities will join Professors Marilyn Ward and Greg Baer to visit Berlin in June 2008. After four days of workshops at the Carthage campus, during which they will review aspects of standards-based lesson planning related to multiple intelligences, interdisciplinarity, and cross-cultural competence while designing a teaching unit of their own, participants will travel to Berlin. During ten days in Germany's capital city, we will explore literature, art, architecture, and music and study political, economic, historical, educational, sociological and cultural issues relating to Berlin. Using materials, experiences and ideas collected there, participants will develop interdisciplinary teaching units focused on Berlin.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEMINAR INCLUDE:
= a pre-travel orientation and workshop to provide a practical and theoretical foundation for our travel seminar
= an introduction to Berlin's historic and cultural sights such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag Building
= a visit to a German school with a multicultural student body to meet with teachers and students
= a tour of the children's literature collection at the state library
= attendance of cultural events at traditional venues like the State Opera House or the modern Berlin Philharmonic Hall
= exploration of Berlin's cuisine from Turkish street food to fine Weinstuben
= free time to explore the aspects of Berlin you want to see and shop Berlin's many markets
DATES Pre-Trip Workshop: 16-19 June 2008 Travel to Berlin: 20-30 June 2008
COSTS We anticipate that the course fee of $3100 will include round-trip transatlantic group travel (between Chicago and Berlin), all local travel in Berlin, lodging in Berlin, tours and entry fees for group activities as well as two meals a day in Berlin. Those taking the course for credit will also need to pay Carthage tuition. Participants who wish to stay in campus housing from 16-19 June can arrange to do so for an additional cost.
