Visitors were treated to a day long adventure set back in time as part of iLEAD Schools’ projectbased learning curriculum, said school officials. SCVi Charter School’s 8thgrade learners provided thepublic with a living history display from 9 a.m.3 p.m. at the historic Rancho Camulos in Piru.

Each student portrayed a person from the Civil War era, remaining “in character” throughout the event.

“This is the epitome of voice and choice in education,” said facilitator Dustin Lengning. “Our students are focusing on what they feel they can learn the most about.” “In order to gain a deeperunderstanding of this tumultuous time in our nation’s history, SCVi’s 8th grade class has been taking their learning beyond simply reading about history. Instead, each student has chosen a person whomay have lived in that time, whether a historical figure or a persona they created based on what they’ve learned and researched about life in mid 19th century in America.”

As guests walked the grounds, they were able to expierence displays of Civil War  era inventions, a war hospital, military encampments, abolitionists, battles, a cotillion, a sutlery and more, all witheighthgrade learners participating as living  history docents, sharing their knowledge from a first  person perspective, said school officials.

The project was the brainchild of well known iLEAD facilitators and project  based learning gurus Erin Aquaviva, Keith Faulkner, and Dustin Lengning, according to school officials. However, each year thelearners make this project their own, discovering for themselves new things about our nation’s history that excite them enough to want to share with their peers and the community at large.

“What we want people visiting to understand is that this living history day is just the culminating event,” Faulkner said. “The hard work went into the two months leading up to the presentation we willshare

with the community. These kids have been incorporating their 21stcentury learning skills in preparation. They havebeen inventing, marketing, scheduling, budgeting, planning, showing off their entrepreneurial skills, designing and muchmore.”

One 8th grade learner who is developing her personal character shared what she has discovered so far:

“I have been learning about women who lived at the time, and their way of life was so much harder than it is for womentoday. Even for those who were born into privilege, there were certain rules of society that had to be followed. If youfaltered in any way, you were looked down upon; your entire reputation was ruined forever. It makes me feel very luckythat I live in the time I do.”; She added with a chuckle, “Not to mention those dresses and all those layers were heavy.”
