From the Historical Thinking Project
The Historical Thinking Project has been working with teachers
across the country to explore the many ways that historical thinking can be
integrated into History and Social Studies classrooms (including Heritage Fairs!). Teachers are eager to
make the changes necessary to transform their classrooms, but getting started
can be a bit daunting. You can help by walking us through the steps you've taken
to work with historical thinking concepts in your
classroom.
Send a sample Blog entry of no longer than one page. Your entry
should reflect your personal style, but should include a statement of what you
wanted to do in your course that day/week, what you did, and a short reflection
on how it went. (See Risa Gluskin's Blog on the HT Project site for an example,
www.historicalthinking.ca).
If you become our new Blog writer, you will receive a set of
classroom posters, a copy of the new PD resource The Big Six: Historical
Thinking Concepts, and an honorarium for each entry you write. Plus, the
fame and glory that comes with being a writer :)
Entries should be sent to Jill Colyer (jillcolyer@rogers.com), national
coordinator of The Historical Thinking Project, by November 30,
2012.
