RE: My favorite lesson to teach... makes the students want to revolt!

in #steemiteducation6 years ago

History can be very boring if the teacher approaches it bookishly.Discuss history, don't memorize it. Most of us hated history because of the preoccupation with facts, figures, dates but while those are important in establishing a timeline and remembering who is who, that's not the same as understanding it. History ought to be about knowing why things happened and what we can learn from them. That's learned by discussion.

I agree 100%. Kids have the internet in their pockets. They can look up any fact they want.
