History workshop for teachers

A free teachers' workshop focusing on Hawaiian history is being offered by Bishop Museum on Sat., Nov. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the museum's Pākl Conference Room. Teachers will participate in a lesson that was created using the research-based "Understanding by Design" curriculum develop-

ment model. While the lesson will be aligned with Hawai'i state social studies standards for the seventh grade, this workshop will be relevant to teachers of any grade level who teach Hawaiian history. After the workshop, teachers may take an optional "sneak preview" of the Hawaiian Origins Tunnel in the museum's new Science Adventure Center. The Hawaiian Origins īunnel features chanters performing selections of the Kumulipo creation chant in a vivid black light environment with art created by Hawai'i school ehildren. In the lower section of the 160-ft.-long tunnel, they will hear chants related to Pele and Kamapua'a as they move into a volcanic environment. Workshop registration deadline is Nov. 4. To register for the workshop, or for more information, eall Bishop Museum's Education Department at 848-4168 or email education @ bishopmuseum.org .
