Paul’s Answer
The History channel, Story Television and public tv documentaries are a very good source of information and engagement, especially if they are related to family history or ethnicity.
My descendants fought in the Civil War, and every time a documentary appears, featuring a battle they participated in, I find it impossible to tear myself away from it.
This also leads to long and interesting discussions with the older members of the family, who are usually the primary sources of these historical stories.

Greetings!
Immerse students in scenarios that mirror the emotions, thoughts, and sensations that were present in the historical events being studied. This approach can help students connect with Social Studies topics and themes on a more profound level.
Make history come alive!
Empower students by giving them the reins of their learning journey.
Wishing you all the success in the world!
