Learning by asking questions
Students remember what they discover themselves. In a conversation with a historical figure they ask their own questions, hear the answers in the figure's voice and see history from the inside. Teachers add a figure to a lesson slide so the whole class can interview them.
How it works
- 1Choose a historical figure
- 2Ask your own question or pick a suggested one
- 3Get an answer in the figure's own voice, in your language
- 4Add the figure to a lesson slide for your class
Why teachers use it
- History comes alive
- A conversation is more memorable than a paragraph. Students hear the figure explain their discoveries, choices and times.
- Every student asks
- Shy students ask their own questions. Each one gets a patient answer at their level.
- Made for school
- Figures stay in character, keep to age-appropriate topics and admit when something is uncertain.
