Teaching History as Biography
Speaker:
Mr. Dennis Peterson
Subject:
History
Description:
History is another subject that many students find boring. Practically everyone, however, enjoys a good story about real people. Approaching the teaching of history as biography can do much to arrest students' attention and help them enjoy history. My teaching of this seminar would be based on my experience both teaching history in traditional Christian schools and writing biographical characters for a variety of periodicals.
