“[My favorite part of the tour was] learning about the literary giants who lived and visited Baltimore!”
I’m so glad I did the interview and would do it again. Now I realize just how much history affects people.
It was an interesting thing to do. The process of digging through photos, souvenirs, copies of old orders, and other memorabilia was meaningful after 43 years…I was impressed with all of the students I met.
“Last year was the first time our school participated in the program and one of our students was selected! She was thrilled to be recognized and has been an inspiration to other students. I am so thankful for all the support provided by Maryland Humanities. They reach out and are incredibly helpful and willing to provide resources and opportunities. We appreciate the genuine interest they have in our students!”
“This was the first time I felt comfortable admitting that I was a female Viet Nam vet!”
We were enabled to go into the community and get information from real people. Also, the assignment was pretty subjective so we were able to take it in any way we liked. We led the projects and each one is so different from the next.
“We had our best attendance, ever, for a book discussion, in the seven years I’ve been here.”
We were really moved by the testimony of the veterans and impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the students.
“The program has definitely helped me refocus on caring for patients versus helping physicians treat their diseases.”
“The topic, readings and discussions have encouraged me to consider other ways of interacting with patients and families in the context of culture, lifestyle and economics.”
“My students went deeper with primary and secondary sources than ever before. They used critical thinking skills and applied the transfer goals and essential questions on a deeper level than they could have in class. It challenged them to think deeper and defend their findings.”
“[One Maryland One Book] taught me how much we need to talk and listen to one another.”
“MHD illustrated the applicability of the study of history to contemporary issues and current events. It was very motivating to converse with the students about their historical topic and observe how they applied it to current events and their own life circumstances.”
“We were very impressed with the depth of research all the students did for their History Day projects. It was fun to see them interacting with each other during the competition and events.”
