About The Makeup Historian
I believe an excellent history teacher can transmit deep interest in the discipline, engage students with the material, and encourage them to develop their questions about the past. When I enter the classroom, I aim not to evaluate whether students can memorize dates and facts but rather whether they can use factual information to understand historical events and ask questions about their origins and significance. My ultimate goal is to help them develop a critical mind. History is an ongoing process; students must recognize its patterns, similarities, and differences. I strive to connect the past with the present, prompting them to understand current events from a historical perspective.
In the classroom, I try to find the right balance between traditional lectures enlivened with visual and audio imagery and discussion sections. Therefore, students can have a multi-sensory appreciation of historical material, bringing it to life. I always ensure that complementary material is available, encouraging interactivity in the classroom and leading to more fruitful discussion sessions. Connecting the classroom to the Internet also encourages individualized learning by sending students their historical inquiries.
The use of primary sources is essential in my courses. I believe decoding the variety of evidence left from the past gives students a keener appreciation of the evidence surrounding them in their daily lives. Class discussions based on reading primary sources encourage the circulation of arguments and ideas. These discussions also help students reinforce their argumentation skills and improve their logic. In discussion sessions, students working collaboratively in smaller groups can explore subjects more deeply than they can by listening to lectures. Students derive satisfaction from working through a problem rather than being told about it, and they can effectively teach themselves. I work with students to develop their writing skills in class or private meetings. My lectures are organized with a central thesis supported by different arguments, and I encourage students to do the same in their writing. Good writing requires formulating a clear thesis, gathering and organizing evidence, thinking logically and critically, and often comparing and contrasting. It should stimulate good thinking, and my objective as a teacher is to produce students who can do both well. Planning and conducting courses has been an energizing challenge, and it is an ongoing process. I am always ready to improve my teaching methods through feedback from students and colleagues. I will never stop learning how to be a better teacher.
