New York City has spent a small fortune training me to be a better and better US history teacher, but has never put me in a position to teach American history. "Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." ~~ Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818) |

| Posted 4 months ago Joel's answer reminds me of one of the most important things I try to teach my students about history, and that is that it didn't all happen in the past, that history is being made daily and we are the ones making it. "Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." ~~ Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818) |

| Posted 4 months ago The reason I said "Today" was because in order to be effective, you have to relate what you are talking about to something that the students can relate to. The (American) Civil War, for example, is much more interesting when it is compared to the fighting between groups in Iraq. The Story Starter provides 373,067,200 creative ideas for writers.
