Playing with World History: From Primary Sources to Interactive Experiences

For ACE Day, students in World History to 1500 will present interactive learning activities grown from their primary-source textbook investigations. Working in House Groups, each team advances a historical thesis supported by primary and secondary sources. Audiences will engage, decide, and solve—playtest a thesis-driven board game; step into a living-history station or historical role-play; or listen to excerpts of a podcast. Every activity asks participants to weigh evidence, practice historical reasoning, and see how narrative persuades. The aim is to make solid claims about the past, invite the public to test them, and leave with a clearer understanding of how we know.

An Introduction to Anne Bradstreet

This presentation introduces the first American published female poet, Anne Bradstreet. It gives a brief biography of her life by looking at her education, family life, and lived experiences. It also helps give context to her work by discussing the culture that it was written in. After discussing the main themes of her poetry, it dives deeper into her wrestle with Puritanism and her faith. Bradstreet struggles with her ties to the world, namely her husband and children, that according to Puritan thinking, pull her away from the heavenly (and Godly) mindedness. After inviting the audience to wrestle with these questions as well, it is concluded that poetry can aid in this wrestling by helping you slow down, process, and formulate words for your experience and beliefs.

The State of Teaching at Bushnell University

In the Fall 2023 term, a call went out for nominations of Bushnell students who had demonstrated by their observable behaviors that they were committed to approaching their classes as opportunities to learn, not simply to manipulate the class environment for high grades or other indirect rewards. Those nominees were named Bergquist Laureates. The award is named for Dr. Tim Bergquist, the founder of ACE Day, who loved to encourage students to be scholars. At noon, the Bergquist Laureates will participate in a panel whose topic is the elements of Bushnell classes that help them learn, things that do not help them learn, and things they wish they would see that would help them learn. Bushnell faculty are invited to attend to listen.

The panelists:

  • Ezekiel Aldaco
  • Albert Allen
  • Christopher Kamkar
  • Grace Kitchens
  • Annika Poet
  • John Stephens
  • Matthew Wilhite
