2020 Workshop Talk | 1:05:11 | K-6, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, History
Summary
Teaching grammar school history with primary sources will stimulate students to pursue proficiency in reading difficult texts and will lead them to a deeper understanding of historical people and events. Identifying primary sources and curating artwork can be overwhelming and time-consuming, but fear not! This workshop guides teachers through the process of finding primary sources, choosing appropriate passages, curating accompanying art, artifacts, and maps, and developing graphic organizers for every history lesson.
