The DESTINO CHILE website is designed and maintained by Mark Rosenblum. I teach at Everett Alternatives High School in Everett, Washington and I was fortunate enough to participate in a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship trip to Chile for six weeks during July and August of 1997. These web pages are a product of that trip. Included are lesson plans developed by the

eleven members of our FULBRIGHT TEAM, all educators from Washington State selected to spend five weeks in Chile through the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad in conjuntion with the U.S Department of Education and
Central Washington University.

We all feel extremely fortunate to have had this opportunity to learn about many aspects of Chilean history, culture, politics, economics and daily life. Through the writing and distribution of this document, which we consider a work in progress, we hope to share what we have learned with teachers and students in Washington, as well as other states. We invite you to use, change, add to, and share our ideas and lesson plans, and we also encourage you to look for and apply to programs such as this one. A special thanks to Dr. Lungching Chao Program Director at U.S. Department of Education.
