It's ALIVE

by Occasional Contributor on 02-07-2012 01:04 PM

Description

We use videos and live interviews to bring the curriculum to life in the students own words. My students create skits, mock trials, and live "interviews" with the historical figures we study.

 

Education Level(s)

Early Learning, Pre-K/Kindergarten, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10

 

Subject(s)

Curriculum & Instruction

 

Learning Objectives

Students will give life to the previously dead historical figures and take on their personas. Students will be able to identify with the issues that faced the nation through the eyes of the historical figures such as George Washington when he became the first president or Thomas Jefferson when he purchased the Lousiana Territory.

 

Materials

Cameras, paper, costumes

 

Other Information

Students enjoy being a part of history. By allowing them to use their own voice and create dialogue students are able to think about the issues with a different lense then the one they are used to using in their own lives.
