The Middle East Center & Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture host Educator's Workshop
On Saturday, February 2, 2013 The Middle East Center & Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture host Educator's Workshop entitled "Umm Kulthum: Her Life and Legacy". This workshop guided teachers through a new online curriculum unit about the life and legacy of preeminent Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. Created by a team of educators, artists, and digital designers with Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, the curriculum is designed to align with and incorporate American Common Core Standards, and can be used by literacy, social studies, music, and arabic language educators. Workshop participants will gain an understanding of the historical context of Egypt during her lifetime, explore in some depth two of the ten lesson plans, and experience learning to sing an Egyptian song using the online music education tool. Many thanks to Alon Tam, a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania, Hazami Sayed, Eric Lundblade, and Hanna Khoury from Al-Bustan Seeds of Culutre for their work.
