Ways to Use Our I Remember Videos
- Studying a particular event or time period in class?
- Go beyond the textbook to illuminate the personal nature of history and gain a sense of how events actually impacted people’s lives.
- Use the videos as a conversation starter or with a journal prompt as students analyze events they are studying in class.
- Create flipped learning activities watching the video outside of class and using class time for students to share their thoughts on the discussion question(s) or work on the activity idea(s) that accompany each video.
- Interested in building student excitement for history in any grade level or across the curriculum?
- Use the videos as part of a regular “This Week in History” type activity with students viewing a video and responding in journal entries, think/pair/share groups, or general class discussion.
- View videos for use as inspiration for student-created art, story, play, performance, or re-enactment of their own creation.
- Help students understand the history and change in any area of study as they view videos linked to events in the discipline you teach–arts, literature, science, etc., and compare similarities and differences “then and now.”
- Looking for ways for your students to think and act like an historian?
- Use the videos to demonstrate the value of primary sources in helping to understand history and in helping students understand the difference between primary and secondary sources.
- Have students engaging in an individual or group research project view videos to obtain primary source quotations and video excerpts they could use to create their final project, paper, or presentation.
- Use the videos as a template for creating your own “I Remember” videos on subjects of your choice. Share the videos in class, through public presentations, or via a school district or community website or other forum of your choice. Consider submitting student-created videos for publication on the I Remember website. For more information, e-mail us at info@educate.today and put “I Remember Video Submission” in the title line.
