Personal and Family Histories – Woodrow Boyles | The OC for Social Studies

OER Conference for K-12 Social Studies | Track Talk: The Power of Narrative

Personal and Family Histories: A Gateway to Social Studies

Most students aren’t naturally passionate and social studies. Your story, student’s own stories, and the stories of their families can all be elements of a strategy to engage them in learning about the past and the society in which we live.
