Is your child struggling when learning history? Visualizing the story about this history might help just like how we learn history. Using The History of the United States from Abeka we would read, sit and visualize a chapter into something like below. It helps my kids learn the map and visualize the history that comes with it.
For this visualization we are learning about how the nation grew. From the original 13 territories to the northwest territory after the war of Independence. It continues on to the Louisiana Purchase up to the Oregon Country.
In this particular visualization, our focus was on gaining insight into the broader strokes of the unfolding of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. It provided us with a high-level overview of key events, significant battles, and pivotal moments that shaped this tumultuous period in history. Through this lens, we were able to grasp the overarching narrative of the conflict and how it shaped the course of the nation.
This kind of learning helps us both. I’m able to review her for coming tests. Both of us in return appreciates it, and even ask questions to each other. The learning interaction is great. I like the way she asks questions. If I don’t know the answer, I would tell her that we find it together. Since she knew that we are both learning the same for the first time excites her more. Making History class more memorable.
