Research Library Information Educational CurriculumEducational Curriculum Available for Long Day’s Journey Into Night A curriculum developed for high school English students focusing on Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night is now available for use by teachers and students nationwide. The curriculum is intended for eleventh and twelfth grade students. The curriculum was developed by Foundation education director Mary Camezon, National Park Service personnel, and a group of Bay Area High school teachers. It has been rigorously tested in several Bay Area schools and is designed to support the English/Language Arts standards developed by state and national project. It contains materials designed for varied student learning styles and features assessments and tasks that measure student achievement. Camezon says, “The purpose of the curriculum is to develop in students an understanding of how Eugene O’Neill integrated his life into his art; that life’s relationships and challenges force choices between stagnation or growth; and that there is a continuing conflict between the ‘new’ and the ‘traditional’ in all areas of life. Long Day's Journey Into Night Curriculum (MS word doc, 430kb) Photos, videos and class sets of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, are available to supplement the written curriculum. Call (925) 820-1818. Tours of Tao House may be arranged by calling the Park Service at (925) 838-0249. A video of the tour has been developed for those who are unable to visit the site, and is also available. Call (925) 820-1818. The Tri-Valley Community Fund, Pacific Bell Foundation, the Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation and the Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley have provided funding for the project. About the Curriculum Project In 1991 a curriculum materials package was created for high school teachers with support from the NPS. The program includes a video, Final Harbor, Eugene O’Neill at Tao House, poster size photos, biographical information and monologues. The Kiwanis Club of the San Ramon Valley funded the curriculum package. In 1997 the NPS and the Foundation developed a curriculum for high school junior American Literature students using Long Day’s Journey into Night as the text to introduce writing students to O’Neill. A video tour of Tao House is included, so the curriculum can be used nationally. Funders for this project included Pacific Bell, Tri-Valley Community Fund, The Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation, and Education in the Parks.
