2018 Workshop Talk | 56:29 | K-6, General Classroom
Summary
How do you reflect truth and beauty practically in the classroom in a way that students devour? Wrapping the dead, scratching cuneiform into clay tablets, dressing and eating like Greeks, and making lap books with hinged drawbridges and hidden diary entries all bring history to life. 3-D bulletin boards reflect beauty—a visual feast. Reading great literature and playing parts in costume, building miniature dioramas, and putting prose to music encourage students to live out . . . and love learning. This workshop gives grammar school teachers practical ideas on how to make content memorable!
