past as in the future, according

Years" is for elementary and
secondary school teachers to :
find ways of highlighting the"
Bicentennial in their

The workshop grew out of
experience Weatherl had
preparing Bicentennial
materials for Nebraska
Education Service Units which
provide education extras for
students in Nebraska's smaller
school districts.
Nebraska information
Sesow said materials and
information about Nebraska
are being emphasized and
"extensive use of local outside
speakers has been made.
"What happened at
Lexington and Concord is
book store
this fail
location, Wehr said.
Legitimate need
"We have talked about
doing this for many years and
think that the students out
there have a legitimate need for
a more convenient store," he
said.
The store will carry books
for agriculture, home
economics and law. In
addition, some basic freshman
course books will be available
along with some reference
books and school supplies.

meaningful but is isn't
meaningful to the people who
weren't there. To be
meaningful we must look at
the now-what we are like
today and as we look into the
past, project into the future,"
he said."
"There is heavy emphasis on
the local environment as
opposed tp Boston, Mass.",
which very few children have a
conception of what it is like."
Sesow said the workshop
encourages teachers to " get
away from the history-book
approach and focus on the
present and future.
Inquiry approach
"It's definitely an inquiry
approach," he said. .
He said there was value in
letting the child see how he or
she fits into the spirit of the
United States.
"It's his birthday too,"
Sesow said.
Sesow said he is pleased
with the efforts of the teachers
in his class who have made use
of many outside resources,
including the library, the,
bookstores and the state
Bicentennial headquarters.
' "They've been trying to
search out and pull things
together using a sophisticated,
scholarly approach," he said.
