| Teaching History by Living History | ||||||||||||||||
| Every year I try to bring local historical reenactors to my American History classes. Why? To quote one local reenactor, "Because history is too important to be left to teachers." I agree. History is something that needs to be experienced first hand, not simply taught. To help accomplish this, I have hosted Living History Days at Waynesfield-Goshen Schools. Although the emphasis was on the Civil War, local reenactors utilized their enthusiasm and expertise to bring a variety of time periods and experiences to life. Check out the pages below to get a better idea of what we are trying to accomplish. |
