Third Interview Questions

  1. What do you feel is the best way to teach history?
  2. How do you feel about teaching history backwards? Starting from a point at the present, looking at it, and saying "What happened to cause this event?" Then looking that cause up, rinse and repeat.
  3. How do you feel about teaching history "Alive?" Having students act out as members of a certain time era in order to learn about them.
  4. What do you think about teaching history the traditional way?
  5. How do you feel about teaching history through repetition? Repeating until the students know the information.
  6. How do you feel about teaching history with visual aids? Such as maps, photographs, diagrams, paintings, models, memorabilia, Hollywood movies, more maps, reenactments, computer simulations, museums, internet sources, etc...
  7. How do you feel about "Matrix" teaching? Linking things with facts, then building upon those facts with more facts.
  8. How do you feel about teaching history as idolizing figures? Such as teaching only the good things people have done but not the wrong. For the purpose of not to distort views of the students.
  9. How do you feel about teaching history as a live demonstration format? Such as if you are teaching the middle ages and Knights, you yourself, dressing up as a "Knight" to demonstrate that it is not actually as glorified as Hollywood makes it seem.
  10. How do you feel about teaching history as just lecturing? Just having the students sit down and lecture them for a class period.
