Some questions teachers should ask...
- What are the big ideas and concepts that I need to teach?
- What is freedom? Liberty? Use the common core standards, they give the big ideas that need to be taught.
- How can we pique students interests in history?
- Projects such as biz world that can make learning fun and interesting. Use manipulative's to engage students (artifact bag). Using technology and the internet such as kid-friendly videos, interactive games, etc. that can help students learn.
What are the benefits of studying history?
Personally I think studying history makes you a smart and knowledgeable person. If you know the past and you know mistakes people have made in the past, you will be less likely to make these mistakes. It will make you more conscience of the people around you and more culturally aware.
How to engage students:
- Using timelines to develop chronology
- Locating and using historical resources
- Visual literacy and history
- Reenactments and drama
- Biographies and historical literature
