How to Make History Come Alive
For many students, history means a lot of reading and memorizing facts. They may fail to see the point in expending so much effort to study something that happened 100 or 1000 years ago. How can we, as educators, make history come alive for our students? Here we offer our suggestions for classroom activities that will make history more real and more hands-on. We focus primarily on high school/middle school activities, with free supporting materials available for download. In addition, we have also assembled a fun collection of activity resources for elementary school students.
