All of us at the American Village extend a sincere invitation to you and your colleagues to bring your students for an
extraordinary learning experience.
Here on an incredible 183-acre campus the spirit of liberty that caused colonists to declare independence in 1776 is
brought to life. The American Village immerses your students in experiences that convey incredible stories of freedom
and liberty. They are guided in their experience by a talented staff portraying “people of the past.” Together they take a
stand for the principles that have inspired and led Americans in generations since to help “…form a more perfect
Union.”
We believe the American Village experience is centered on vital elements of an American civic education. It includes
content that supports reading, critical thinking, and writing skills. Whether you are teaching reading, social studies,
history, civics, or government, or a related subject, I believe you will find the American Village experience uniquely
engages your students.
Well over half a million students from all over Alabama and the surrounding Southeastern states have been part of this
revolutionary experience since the Village opened sixteen years ago.
We strive to serve as partners with you in preparing young people for the vital roles of citizens and leaders. We hope
they make connections to the people of the past – who in times of uncertainty or fear, took risks and made choices that
helped shape our country.
We invite you and your educator colleagues to be our guests for the 2016 Teacher Preview Days this summer (see p. 6).
The program and luncheon are complimentary but pre-registration is required. This year’s program promises to be the
best ever!
I also call your attention to the Student Mock Election Convention (July 12-14) on page 14. The first nine hundred
students and teachers to register (at no charge) will have a great time getting ready for the Alabama Student Mock
Election to be held this Fall. So check it out and sign up today!
We hope this catalog for 2016-2017 provides the information you need to plan a classroom visit. If you need
additional information or assistance, our staff welcomes the opportunity to assist you! You may contact us:
• Call toll free at 1-877-811-1776 or 205-665-3535 in the Birmingham calling area. Enter option 1 - or press
extension 1062.
• Learn more about our programs and make a reservation for your school group by going to our web site
www.americanvillage.org and clicking on “American Village Classroom” or use the QR codes in the catalog.
This coming school year is a great year for your students to experience America’s action-packed revolutionary journey
for liberty! We hope to see you and your students!
Meanwhile, thank you for your professionalism and your dedicated service to our young people. With best wishes, I am
Sincerely,

More than a field trip, the American Village educational programs are tied

Students will express their position as
patriots during the Stamp Act Rally, they
will vote on the Virginia Resolves as
delegates to the Virginia Convention, and
represent their states at the Constitutional

Washington’s troops. They may even
encounter a Redcoat on their way to deliver
a secret message to Paul Revere.
Liberty! is aligned with Alabama Course of Study standards and supplements regular classroom instruction intended to
meet those standards. It is the best choice of programming for students in grades four through twelve, apart from
special programs designed for and targeted to more specific topics and age groups from time to time.

and why America is free. Students are fully engaged
with six vignettes featuring critical moments in the
struggle for American independence.

The program is consistent in subject matter for all grades, appealing to a broad spectrum of students and attending to
multiple, active learning styles; however, delivery is differentiated for three age groupings:
•
•
•
intermediate grades 4-5
middle school grades 6-8
high school grades 9-12
Content understanding is differentiated on the basis of vocabulary and concept difficulty. Modifications are made in
the use of authentic language, use of examples and analogies, use of visual and auditory support, degree of
presentation detail, connection to accessible and relevant student background and experience, connection to previous
classroom instruction, and in pacing.
The program also seeks to evoke a sense of ownership and stewardship of the principles of liberty and selfgovernment. In this regard, program delivery is differentiated on the basis of age, maturity level and civic experience.
Students will participate in the struggle for American independence and the continuing journey to fulfill the promises
of liberty and equality. It is a compelling story, and your students are a part of it!

REMEMBERING THE PRICE OF LIBERTY
A Classroom Project to Honor Our Nation’ s Veterans
We invite you and your students to help tell the
stories of those in every generation who served and
sacrificed for the cause of liberty.
On February 17, 2014 the new National Veterans Shrine and Register of
Honor at the American Village was dedicated. Patterned after Philadelphia’s
Carpenters Hall, the Shrine features major sculpture and paintings by
nationally-renowned artists depicting our veterans’ service and sacrifice for
America and its freedom. The Shrine also houses the Register of Honor, a
multimedia library containing the photographs, biographical sketches, and
stories of America’s veterans. Visitors to the Shrine are able to select and
view personalized multimedia presentations honoring individual veterans in
the Register of Honor.
We have prepared classroom kits to help your students gather information
about their family members in order to add their names, histories and stories
to the Register of Honor.
