Overview
Torn by War… Healing through Hope provides a comprehensive classroom curriculum addressing U.S. conflicts in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia through Art, Literature, Poetry, Oral History and Community Service.
The curriculum was created in 2008 by Highline School District Aviation High School teachers Jacob Savishinsky and Ted Dezember, in partnership with the organizations Legacies of War and Wing Luke Asian Museum. It consists of three modules and one set of extensions, which can be combined and taught simultaneously or in used in sequence in the classroom. These modules are: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Southeast Asian history from 1945 to the present |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Literature – Fiction and Memoir: Land of Smiles by T.C. Huo and When Broken Glass Floats by Chanrithy Him |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Oral History: From the Classroom to the Community |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Extensions: Oral History and Public Education |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These lessons and materials were developed over two years of instruction in a sophomore level Integrated Humanities classroom, in 100-minute block periods. Teachers can use these modules individually and independently, or combine them into a longer, more involved curriculum of multiple units.
Each module includes a set of lesson plans, essential questions, assignments, and supplemental materials such as examples of artwork and poetry, oral histories, timelines and background information.
A curriculum combining all four modules will take as long as two full months or more, with at least one additional month for the extensions. However, each module can stand alone, requiring as little as one to two weeks of classroom instruction in a Humanities, Language Arts or World History classroom.
Audience
Students: 9th-12th
