If you're like me, you have the story of when you were young, hated, but like an adult, did you know that there is still much more to the story as it appeared, by the way we were taught. But unfortunately, because we were not correct history is taught as children, may be the compilation of a good story for our children painfully difficult. We must fight just to understand the history of us, let alone teach. If only our teachers themselves have had the gift of "story habit"when we were younger.
Imagine how far we would have won if we had the basic knowledge that we are struggling to build again, when we were seven years. through the history of true stories, then, instead of twenty or thirty years later, fascinated Imagine. lasting impressions from the past, with a base of historical knowledge armed Imagine fed and sustained by the desire to learn your way in life. This is the story of habit, and is a gift everyPerson should receive as a child, instead of struggling to develop in adulthood.
Unfortunately, fewer people develop the story of their habit than the more famous brother, the 'reading habits. "The simple reason that most adults do not develop, the history and habits that do not learn the love story when they are young, and then learn to hate it when I'm in high school.
The majority of schools do not teach history to children. Elementary grade children are taught "SocialStudies "rather than species. But social studies, the range of human experience so disconnected, usually jumps from one topic to another journalistic journalistic culture to culture and from one continent to another in a seemingly random. When we asked about the study, students in social studies classes, answer "I do not know."
Social studies do not help children develop an interest in history, and prepare students with the basic knowledge they need to learn the historywhen they are older. Consequently, when students reach high school and are bombarded with material from the textbook of 1000 pages, are forced to cram into his head, never developed an appreciation for it, and come from almost anywhere to see history as a kind of perverse torture inflicted by indifferent adults! Almost no one really learns the story this way. Certainly, no one learns from this love approach. Ideally, students learn the art of masterStorage, allowing them to pass the test.
Time to get ready for a typical high school history class, let alone emerge as adults in the world attitudes historically, students have years of teaching in the history of the same material with increasing abstraction. In other words, students who have already acquired the habit of history have, and be used of them to see history as a relevant and exciting.
Of course, if you are ableHomeschool your child through school, you could ask him to avoid or help, what the story is in high schools these days, but the real point of history lessons your children at a young age so that they are ready to bear bad books text and programs. You on their knowledge and motivation to history a sustainable part of their spiritual life to make a trained adult. Here's how you can bring your child in this location:
Before Beginning the first story -The most important way that a child in the habit of history is the history lesson begins soon. Children first begin to learn the story much more natural for them to do this, it becomes easier for them, it is used, and are more prepared, you will learn more complicated material must be addressed if older. The most important thing at this early stage, however, is to get them hooked.
According KEEP IT UP - In addition to learning the beginning of history, ifare young, needs more students learn during their training. Repetition is not only essential for storage, is illustrative. We return to the same material they have learned a few years ago to help students Strengthen the "story habit" because it is the satisfaction of having regard to historical facts, experience, and begin to make connections that they had not worked the first time You may need to do a little '. (Fortunately, most of the homeschooling curriculum designed to allow cyclewith the same material at different stages of learning.)
Throw in some third FUN - two words: Toga Party? I went to a young man for a fight against cancer in honor, but you really need a reason to make a toga party? There are so many fun and as a way to reinforce this to the story as children are increasingly routine. Easy Toys, puzzles and games (including video games), a component of the story must be numerous. Of course, the easiest thing to do in order to reflect theTV! You'd be surprised how many channels besides those obvious story in their programming. Spike, a "man Channel is running" a series on the great warriors throughout history that many older students would be pleased. Whenever the Travel Channel goes abroad, or even if it remains in the United States, there are a lot of history can also be found there. (To use this resource for learning the most effective attempt Match your programming is done with what your child is studying).
FourthTravel Time - Find local attractions, which are of historical importance, and if you can afford to get the United States! I recently traveled to an old cotton gin operating ban in Burton View, TX --- just an hour from Houston, where I live. There are attractions of this kind in the country. Certainly, civil war re-enactments abound. But also do everything possible to go abroad. Planning a trip to Rome, Athens, Paris or at least once in the education of your children. And it getsthe planning involved. To view the compilation of a family vacation to historic landmarks famous homeschooling is a great project!
Fifth LITERATURE - Everyone knows it, but I'll stay here anyway. With your literature with your story. Studying in Rome? A triumph of Flavio is ideal for younger children. Junior High American History? Carry On Mr. Bowditch is terrifying. Revolutionary France Study in High School? You can not do better than Victor Hugo's Ninety-three studentsthat age. There are many ways to inherit from the book of Greek myths Aulaire's D'Asterix, from Cyrano de Bergerac in the wind. Great historical fiction helps reading habits and history of habit at the same time!
Sixth Don'ts - learning center is the surest way to kill the habit of flourishing ignore history, so that the well trained mind says this, at least for children of elementary grade. Not enough time for students to the most important events to rememberand dates do not just understand the story, because the things they like and learn. Storage should not be a priority for students of history, until they are older, with a supplement of their own, not just what he already knew. (The only exception to this rule is geography. Storing names to geographic locations, which is of great importance for the understanding of history is by its nature, a red-activity. There should be as soon as possible.)
Seventh's never too late - you canDevelopment of the history of habit at any age. I am the proof! This does not mean that it is more difficult as students with age. I have had for more than fifteen years of struggle to get where they are. If you have an older student, and have difficulty with the story, here are some tips that may help. First, try to find a way to touch the kid values. Show you're a sport, such as a disk favorite team is a kind of history. Show a lover of music influences their favorite artist. Secondly, talkthe value of history in the abstract. Discuss education, intuition and inspiration has been gained about the history and looking for work ever closer together. Third, do not worry about covering everything. It 'better to do, to make history or just American and a lot of ancient evil.
The development of custom history "is a journey that you can take your students along with homeschooling. If knowledge of life history can be transferred to them as you grow, then you will give yourself a giftat the same time as you pass over them.
