History Take-Out

Description

Can’t come to us? We’ll come to you! History Colorado educators facilitate
these hands-on programs at your school. Through objects, photographs
and a large walk-on map of the state, students will uncover the “footprint”
various cultures and industries left behind.

Choose from two of our themes:

-"Moving Day: Colorado’s Migration Story":
Students explore the movement of people across Colorado from prehistory
to 1870 and become “experts” on each of these cultural groups including
Ancestral Puebloans, Mountain Men, Miners, Utes, Plains Indians and
Hispanos.

-"Western Work: Colorado Industries of the Past":
Through objects, photographs and role-playing activities, students become
“entrepreneurs” in some of Colorado’s most important industries. Western
Work meets economic, history and geography standards and encourages
students to explore natural, capital and human resources through a
historical lens.
