Reseaching Local History for Children

Secondo Circolo, a group of three elementary schools in Sassuolo, Modena, is developing a curriculum on local history.
The objective of the program is to connect children, both native born and immigrant, to the people and traditions of Sassuolo, once the summer residence of the Este family.
Children as young as six are collecting, researching and writing about their local environment and its rich past.
I think that middle school teachers of Italian might find this site very suggestive.
