Everything Is L.O.C.A.L.! Making Curricular Connections with History Close to Home
Kristy A. Brugar
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v36 n2 p17-21 2023
In this piece, the author outlines ways in which elementary educators can integrate local history across the curriculum and engage elementary students. She argues that this approach is a powerful opportunity to engage students' interests and excitement. Exploration into local history is an instructional experience that demands a variety of content, skills, and strategies while focusing on the learning of people, places, and events.
