Bringing History to Life for Your Children & Grandchildren
Easy, creative ways to make history a part of your daily life and the lives of your children and grandchildren.
We live in an era when our connection with the past, which is so vital to our future, has been ruptured over and again. Young people and children see history as faded and boring, not flashy and exciting like video games and movies. Schools teach facts and avoid time-worn documents, diaries, and the words of the very people who lived before us.
But the past is important to our future, and Donna explores not only why we should make history a part of our everyday world, but she empowers parents, grandparents, and teachers with quick, creative strategies to begin helping children, grandchildren, and students walk in the present and in the past. Included at the back of the book is an exhaustive list of historical fiction and classic time-tested literature for young and old alike.
Interested in writing your family history down and getting it into print? Nothing is more important, and Donna, a writing teacher and published author, includes a quick overview of the writing and publishing process to get you started.
