It's good to hear from you. I have started working on my LCP and posted more info on my blog today. Most of my time teaching is spent with my Pre-K through 3rd grade students, so teaching history is extremely flexible for me. I also spend about an hour a day with my Middle and High school students. I have found that none of my students have a very good understanding of native people in Alaska, so I keep finding myself drawn to teaching them about Alaska. I am not sure if I am following the LCP properly, but I am developing my first project around native story telling. It is interesting and fun. Let me know what direction you head in. I am curious about what other students in our class are working on. My husband, Ryan, is also in this class, but he has been swamped with work and may not work on this first project.
Good Luck!
