Palladio High Road Academy students began the winter's curriculum two weeks ago for Flyboys, by James Bradley. Anthropologist, Dr. Sara Di Angelo, prepared our students for the process of interview -Bradley's own technique for writing this masterpiece on the heroic journeys of World War 11veterans- immediately upon return from Christmas Recess.
Academy scholars will soon practice their recently honed interview techniques with resident veterans at Peconic Landing, Greenport, NY. Accompanied and guided by Dr. Sara Di Angelo, our anthropologist-in-residence on loan from Rome, Italy, our high school students head out with laptops and question protocols to the North Fork on the seven o'clock Jitney tonight.
Peconic Landing will accommodate our enthusiastic budding journalists throughout the weekend. The socially generous and upscale setting, staff, and residents will host the first link of its kind on Long Island - a weekend of connecting high school students who have studied World War 11 with real living World War 11 veterans. These remaining heroes of a pivotal point in global history are drawn from Suffolk county, predominantly both forks of eastern Long Island.
Dr. SaraD foresees this "pilot" project as an abundant source of future connections between remaining elders and youth craving the hard-earned wisdom of heroic paths.
More to come...stay tuned for postings from this ground-breaking weekend!
