Hearst

**REMINDER: Exception for Hearst in the Weather Cancellation Policy**
As was recently mentioned in the docent eNews, Hearst tours are excepted from the standard weather cancellation policy. They will likely continue as scheduled, //**unless**// DC public schools are delayed or cancelled.

We do, however, want you to keep safe!! Please send Elizabeth an email (DeinesE@si.edu) if you feel uncomfortable commuting to the Museum on one of your Hearst days.

**Hearst 2017 "Creating American Stories"**
//This semester-long partnership between the museum and eighth grade students in Washington DC public schools is funded by the Hearst Foundation. It provides teachers with the resources and training they will need to incorporate artwork into social studies and language arts lessons, increasing students' knowledge of American history and culture while building their skills in analysis and interpretation.//

CCPCS’s focus this year “…is called "Designing the Future: Rights for All" and is centered on human rights, human rights violations, and developing a prototype for working on a human rights issue. With that said, it would be great to have students look at artworks that fit within this topic.”

Students will focus on //**Pigeon's Egg Head (The Light)...**// in class. They will conduct a See-Think-Wonder analysis of the work, then acquire content information using a Jigsaw activity and short texts. Finally, they will respond to the work in Six Word Story format.
