The purpose of this blog is to facilitate the implementation of Greg Mortenson and David Relin's NY Times bestseller, Three Cups of Tea, into NH high school curricula. Thanks to the generosity of the Oristano Family Foundation and the Cricenti Foundation, 4,000+ copies of the book have been donated to NH and FL classrooms. We hope for this blog to be the "go-to" for lesson plan and project ideas for all interested educators... "one school at a time."

Bridging Cultures
A special education interdisciplinary project between our World Cultures and Alternative Curriculum English 9 classes at Newfound Regional High School will introduce students to Three Cups of Tea and follow up with writing introductory letters and sending school materials to one of Mortenson's Pakistani schools. Upon meeting the Pakistani teachers who will be visiting Plymouth State University through the PELI Institute this summer, we will identify which school to "adopt". Our goal is to build a bridge between two cultures by fostering an ongoing exchange between the students.
