 This is the Middle East Symposium workshop. I really enjoyed it. Last year I came for the primarily teaching workshop and enjoyed that immensely and that's when I found out about this one. So yeah I was really glad to come to this one. A lot of information. All history teachers should come here. If you want to get extra instructions, extra material for your classroom that's not in the books, this is something you should do. Oh they're excellent. They're really really good. I think the best thing about them is how many people you guys always bring in so it's like you're getting to tour the entire country in just a couple days and it's definitely geared towards we want you to be using this right in the classroom at the same time appealing to your sense of your own academic curiosity. You learned things you know as a historian as well as being a teacher. I appreciated the level of discourse with my colleagues and of course the the presentations were fabulous everyone was well spoken and organized and of course there's a big takeaway because we have a lot of materials that we can leave with. We will use these the materials and collaborative lessons not only with their history teachers but we're thinking of with our English teachers when they read about the Vietnam era. They've got a novel they read that deals with Vietnam so we can actually use this in a lot of classes. Our teacher workshops feature our primary documents, primary sources from our archives, things that you will not find in textbooks or magazines. It's really fun to see them and see how history unfolded before your eyes. We use primary documents to create student activities so teachers can bring students here to experience going through the documents and doing analysis, making decisions, working in groups and they they enjoy it. It's fun. It's not something that they that they normally get to do. Plus we use documents that have been declassified so they have wonderful red stamps on them and and and they get to go through and see things that were once top secret.
