The following themes are linked to questions solicited from the Teacher/Scholars who participated in the NEH Landmarks “Fourteenth Colony” workshops convened at Monterey in the Summer 2013.  Each week’s respective cohort produced questions in advance of the workshop that then served as the basis for guiding discussion and the development of lesson plans generated, and linked under Lesson Plans in the Teacher Resource Center.  Transcript of all questions courtesy Ms. Jennifer Lucido, CSU Sonoma.
