for the week of April 9-13, 2001
Highlights :
Island History of Ranching and Industry - and the Arts - open all month !
Art Contest entries due April 30th !
The month of April is set aside for studying the individual Island histories and the art and culture of the Channel region. We will be featuring Teacher Digs each week, and then chat with historians from the Islands in May. Channel Art Projects - paintings, poetry, digital art, drawings - can be submitted in digital or paper format for adding to our Student Gallery. Classrooms submitting art will be sent a reprint of the rare movie history publications behind Island of the Blue Dolphins - learn about the actors, the challenges in filming, and other facts that offer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this movie. You will be surprised to learn where it was actually filmed !
VIDEO CONTEST - see http://www.rain.org/video/camp-lego-contest.html
TEACHER'S INTERNET DIGS - select a date you would like to feature your Dig in April. Install it one afternoon and we will feature it to the camp community - and your class - for 2-3 days following. Send your requested dates to camp@rain.org. If you still need to learn how to create a Dig - see the Teacher's Chatroom inside the password protected Teacher's Web - your private work space to test your links and learn!
