On Friday February 18th, I was driving from our school in Norwich and I was listening to a Hear and Now segment on KMUW Wichita Public Radio. The segment was titled "As Protests Spread In Middle East, History Comes Alive For US Students." The segment was a great example of how to use current events and adapting instruction to engage students in the classroom.
The ninth grade class in Plymouth, Mass. researched the history of Egypt and events that led up to the recent revolution and compared it to the process that led up to the French Revolution. The lesson gave history a modern context that the class was able to relate to. I would highly recommend visiting the site by clicking the segment title above and listening to the 7 minute podcast.
