1609: Quadricentennial Curriculum - now online here!
"Wow! Thank you for this great and evolving
body of work. So much to do and see and discover."
"This is great! Thanks for doing this!"
2009 marked the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s entrance onto the lake that now bears his name. It was an opportunity for NY and VT schools to join in the celebration and emphasize instruction about the history and environment of the lake region. We hope this multi-disciplinary curriculum helps educators of all kinds to bring this topic into the classroom well beyond the year 2009.
For ease of use, each chapter of this curriculum is saved as a separate pdf document. Because these are of a high enough quality to be printed, the file sizes are large. We encourage you to read the Introduction first.
Please note that this version is a work in progress. In the coming weeks and months, we will update and augment these files; be sure to check back to see our improvements!
And finally, we welcome contributions. As you can see, LCMM did not accomplish this alone - if you have lesson plans, new research, or additional works, please let us know - we may be able to include it into this piece!
And of course, we'd like to thank the many contributors and participants that made this possible.
