When I Was Young in Worthington: 1810s
Basic details
Background
Granby Elementary School sixth grade classes wrote illustrated books chronicling youth experiences in Worthington during every decade between 1800 and 1990. The book, "When I Was Young in the Mountains" by Cynthia Rylant was used as a starting point for discussion of contemporary life experiences of children in Worthington. Students worked in small groups to research historical aspects of life in Worthington during a specific decade. This book focuses on the decade 1810 to 1819.
