Although it will be designed to help teachers learn how to do the lesson themselves, much of the presentation will be doing inquiry-based activities with the participants. For a preview, check out the "Stamp Stories" lesson plan on the <a href="http://www.smithsonianconferences.org/2009/npm/" rel="nofollow">Postal Museum Exhibit Hall</a> page.
