I have a general live surgical broadcast scheduled for Wednesday, October 1 starting at 9:00AM (usually lasts until noon). The case is yet to be determined. Many schools from Ohio and farther (including Wasilia, AK) will be participating. Only a few schools will be able to ask questions to the surgeon.

Program Description
Moving to rural Ohio in the early 1800’s from Germany brought homesickness as well as a sense of hope and new beginnings. Zoar historians will share the development of the first successful communal living society as well as types of tools and affects that were used to build Zoar and maintain it. This program is developed as a writing activity – a letter home to Germany describing this new area of opportunity. Geared toward the 3rd grade level. During this session, the mailed packet will be explored, as students are walked through time as they describe what living is like in this new and untamed land.

This program is presented by a historian in the first person. There will be activities, historical artifacts shown, and there will be interaction and discussion.

Objectives
Students will: Gain an understanding of communal livingGain an awareness of the personal accounts of leaving a settled country to travel to a new landStudents will practice writing skills
