We offer teaching trunks to middle and high school teachers that contain full classroom sets of books, teachers’ guides and curriculum suggestions, films, visual aids, and other material to support instruction. In addition to providing materials about the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide, we now have teaching trunks with materials about the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur.
A complete inventory of teaching trunks can be found at: www.chgs.umn.edu/educational/teachingtrunk.html#high
Teaching Trunks are shipped free of charge to teachers throughout the Upper Midwest for a six-week loan. Please contact Jessika Lupan at 612-624-0256 or chgs@umn.edu for more information and to reserve materials.
