Literal:
- I, David Roeder, affirm that I WILL complete my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. (By March 10th)
- I have (as stated above) completed at least 20 hours worth of seminars regarding teaching, and history. Most regarding the importance of Primary sources work and student involvement. I planed to sum up what i learned by judging at History Day. Unfortunately I am unable to do as such, but i will assist in any way possible and hopefully pick up tid bits of information.
Interpretive:
This answers my EQ: "What is the Best way to Teach U.S. History" (soon to change) in a number of ways. Firstly, as any historian can tell you, the importance of your sources DETERMINE the quality of you work. By learning A. the values of primary sources and B. a way to apply them for class room use. This will teach students a life long lesson. That being your work is only as good as the information used to back it up. Secondly through the other various seminars, I've learned some valuable (basic) knowledge for becoming a teacher. Such as the importance of not being bias and so on. This has obvious benefits towards my EQ.
