「誰が、何があったのか、どこにいるのか」を掘り下げる読書クラブ: 公民/政府

Your student will study the biographies and information.  The books will be from the "What/Who is/was" book series.  My goal is to get students to see that history is stories about events in the lives of people.  I would like them to imagine and feel what it would be like to live during the time period at the age they are now.  Most of the books overlap as far as time periods.  So join anytime.  I will do this through mostly discussions about the books between the students and teachers.  Occasionally there will be slides and videos.
