Teach History With Art & Literacy Activities


    History Through the Arts - A New Pedagogy

    Tell the stories of history!

    Inspire students who think history is  B-O-R-R-R-RING. Slides select the 'stories' from history.   

    Art SHOWS historical events

    A drawing of the Boston Massacre is an anchor for storytelling.  Art, photos and film clips make history 'real' for students. Engage them in stories.

    It's all about primary sources!

    Every lesson requires close reading/seeing skills

    What's the message behind Paul Revere's poster of the Boston Massacre?  

    The cartoon showing the lady of the house spying? 

    The stories and images lay the groundwork for critical thinking, for close reading/seeing skills, for information processing skills. 

    Information processing builds literacy skills

    Literacy skills belong in the social studies classroom. So does art, poetry, music, theater. 

    Comprehensive teacher guides help organize classroom and group work.
