lol, a lot of people say I can just read the newspaper, but this class branches off to current world events as well.
Well that's good. c:
When teaching history, and interesting thing you should try (When you get to that point. Otherwise, observe in other teachers) is to connect current events to older happenings, and vice versa. In the sense of relation (Such as comparing two countries or people or concepts from different periods) and in the sense of a time-line (Such as showing major prerequisites to certain pieces of history, like how major companies formed and evolved into what they are today, or the beginning parts of one invention that inspired another.) History, really, is an amazing topic. Because it is never just one period. One piece of history has to do with everything that came before and everything that came after. c:
Then again, I'm not sure how much this means, as it is coming from a person that just found out Obama is black. :o
