Teedie and Me
The focus of this program is for children to learn how things change over time. It begins with a twenty-minute slide presentation outlining Theodore Roosevelt's childhood in the latter half of the 19th century. Discussion involves how his childhood (family, home, furnishings, toys, clothing, etc.) was different from the students' lives today. Following this, an activity is done which compares everyday late 19th century household items, toys, clothes, etc. with their present-day counterparts. Students are asked to explain how the objects are different and why they think the changes have taken place. Allow about twenty minutes for this part of the program. A brief (twenty minute) house tour, continuing the theme of change, concludes the program. Scheduling Instructions: Recommended for: grades 2-3.
