A picture of how cars used to look and how people made them.

I love this article so much because I can deeply relate to
it. I did half of my senior year here at UH in a kindergarten classroom and
loved every single day in it. I think the children at that specific age are so
truthful and honest but most importantly very curious. The way their minds
think and how they process new information is explainable. So when reading
this article, I learned that having the kids explore and observe a picture of a
certain history event really generates questions. Not just any questions but
great questions. In which leads to class discussions and allows the kids to use
critical thinking. I love letting kids observe pictures because you get an
insight of what they see and to me that’s the most important. The article says
that using a primary source for younger children allows them to think deeply. As
a teacher you will have to generate great blooms taxonomy questions to the
students as they are observing the pictures. I always wondered how you could introduce
certain history topics to young children. After reading this article, it taught
me a great approach I can use in my own classroom to get students engaged and
motivated to learn. I could even maybe use a short film and discuss what they
noticed and saw in the video that stuck out the most to them.
“The ease with which
many students were able to give reasons for their statements suggests that
these activities may have already helped some students do so. We often hear
social studies teachers in middle and high school say they wish that students
entered their classrooms already knowing how to observe, speculate, provide
evidence for their thinking, and ask good questions.”
