Living History in the Classroom: Integrative Arts Activities for Making Social Studies Meaningful

Encouraging all students to experience history by getting personally involved with the content, this book teaches history to students through mock trials, role-playing, political cartooning, period photography, creative writing and journals, building 3-D models, making masks, and music. Combining theory and practice, the book also utilizes lesson objectives, reproducible handouts, questions for discussion, and assessments—including journals, portfolios, and student self-assessments.
