They look forward to selecting appropriate ones to make people and events in the past seem real to children. In addition to these, perhaps some of the most meaningful sources might be those they and their future students locate and/or create themselves. Therefore, the class should explore how to do this wherever they may be teaching. For example, they can locate people for children to interview who have witnessed or been involved in historic events or who would be willing to describe what life was like in earlier time periods. They can find out what the local museums, historic sites, historical societies, chambers of commerce, businesses, newspapers, organizations, and library archives offer. For example, one summer the author was visiting a seashore town and dropped in at the chamber of commerce, where she found a calendar with large photographs of different streets in the town taken in the past and present. Students using these calendars to study their town could compare the photographs to discover how it has changed over time. |
