Participants in the pre-conference clinic will actively engage in the activities and instructional materials that have been developed in collaboration with the Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to honor the sacrifices made by service personnel during the Korean War. To commemorate the opening of the new Wall of Remembrance at the Korean War Memorial in Washington D.C. the Korean War Legacy foundation published a new curriculum book, Honoring Sacrifice. Teachers will learn about lessons aligned to academic disciplines of Literature, History, Geography, Art, and STEM-H. This interactive session allows teachers to use and consider how they might adapt materials for the specific populations they teach. Specific attention is given to the process that is followed to identify MIAs through forensic science and historical research. The concept of sacrifice is also analyzed through primary sources and the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.. This collection of instructional materials provides guidance for teachers of social studies as well as opportunities for interdisciplinary learning.
