Description
Just because history is in the past does not mean lessons have to be dry and dusty! Learn how social studies can be the most exciting part of the day for your students. Presenters exhibit lessons ranging from Aztecs to the American Revolution, incorporating elements for all the senses. Students will be able to create art, sample foods, dance, and have tea with the British. Learning history through art, drama, food, and simulations is guaranteed to open your students’ eyes to the world around them. Detailed handouts and access to online documents are available.
