This collection of twelve lessons selected from the Choices Program’s curriculum series provides teachers with stand-alone activities that have a special focus on ethnic studies for U.S. history courses.
Introductory Webinar
Lessons for Ethnic Studies: Using Oral Histories and Primary Sources to Build Historical Empathy
7:00 pm — 8:00 pm
Webinar
DETAILS
Historical empathy is the ability to see and understand events from the point of view of those who experienced the events firsthand. It is essential for understanding and contextualizing events without viewing them with today’s values. Building historical empathy is a critical skill that all Choices Program history materials aim to develop in students.
Join us as we examine Choices’ Lessons for Ethnic Studies curriculum and discuss ways to use selected lessons found in the curriculum to build historical empathy. Lessons span time and location, from early U.S. history to Cuban-American voices at the turn of the 21st century.
Note that this webinar will begin at 7 pm ET.
