I'd like to tell everyone about an exciting new series we have coming up
on HISTORY entitled America The Story of Us. Premiering on Sunday, April
25th from 9 to 11 pm, it will run on Sunday nights through May 30th.
Along with great story-telling and truly innovative production
techniques, America the Story of Us gives us a chance to present our
biggest educational opportunities for teachers, students, and libraries.
The series begins with the story of Jamestown and ends with perspectives
on modern-day America, with a well-paced narration, eye-witness
accounts, and computer-generated illustrations that will make your
students sit up and say, "Wow!" I recommend it for students in sixth
grade and over, because there are a few gruesome scenes, like the
accounts of the DonnerParty and Civil

War medicine that may be inappropriate for little kids. You'll have to
be the judge if it works for younger students. Let's face it - American
history isn't always pretty. But overall, the series focuses on
innovation, invention, and the creative spirit of Americans who built
this nation. Not only will it be a great tool for professional
development, but segments can be used in classrooms for all ages.

Along with the epic series, we've created the largest educational
support in the history of HISTORY, with serious prizes. We'll be
awarding $25,000 in cash prizes for the most innovative (and effective)
lesson plans submitted. A submitted lesson plan does not have to be new,
but it should be one you think is great and that other teachers will
want to know about too. We have a student video contest and a contest
for libraries, working with the President's Committee for the Arts and
the Humanities and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Visit
us online for submission forms and detailed info about these contests

%3B5121239%3B24%3B02&a=1007> . With the Smithsonian's National Museum of
American History, we will be producing a live webcast scheduled for May
6th, looking at invention and innovation in American history. Stay tuned
for more info about this free online event. 

Finally, we are offering a free DVD copy of the entire America the Story
of Us to every school in the nation. Yes, every school, public, private,

contests. Forward this email to your colleagues and librarians you know.
