What do kids really need to know about history by the time they get out of school? Should the American Revolution be on the top the list? Or should it be the development of the constitution.... that some people see as a crucial event in American history. How about the waves of the19th- and 20th-century immigration that shaped the human population of the states today? Perhaps we need to pull back from America and look onworld history? If so, what part?
The most important thing to know in history is how to look at the past and make use of that knowledge to deal with current situations. It's not important for everybody to know when George Washington was born or who won the cold war.You can find out information like that when you need it, but it is important to realize that history is not a separate subject of study. It's a part of every subject. No matter what field you're operating in, it has a historical part. For example, study the history of medicine, and you can find that the medical practices of the past are a lot similar to medicine we use today.
Telling our stories
What do you consider essential for students of literature
Answer: it's the ability to hear and tell the stories of our own families and cultures, we need to listen to the storytellers that surround us in our daily lives and we need to learn how to tell our own stories to others, because the way we tell our stories is often the eyes through which we see the world. We all live here together--and yet we don't seem to share the same storytelling or storytelling structures. But we can develop our ability to hear what's different and the same in different cultural storytelling. And out of all these layers of storytelling comes a shared way for looking at theworld
