History Social-Science Reflective Statement
The history-social science framework is a guide to teach history social- science. In order to teach history-social science teachers need to be knowledgeable on the local California, U.S., and World History also including geography, political science, civism and economics. Teachers help students perform historical investigations through questioning, analyzing primary and secondary sources, and develop accounts and arguments that could be supported with evidence. As a teacher we want to provide as much help to teach students develop historical thinking skills such spatial thinking, cause and effect, chronological, and to help them understand different perspectives as they learn history.
The history classes that have taught me these essential skills have been History 301 and LBS 375: The California Experience. Due to these two classes I have learned to be a global thinking, especially in my LBS 375, this class in which chronology was key to many of the events that occurred in California. As for History 301, we went through all the different phases the country has gone through; such as wars, clothing, living ways, not just here in the U.S. but also how it affected other places in the world. In these classes all of the projects and assignments were related to the topics being introduced in the class, which helped me be more engaging, and eager to learn.
My artifact is a power point that was made as a group. We were asked to prepare a fieldtrip that was related to a topic that could be taught in a history class. Our presentation was based on the changes that California went through so, the students would learn or review about the adobe homes, the kind of innovations they had throughout the years, and how their homes looked throughout the years. The reason I chose this artifact is because as a teacher we will need to adapt lessons to field trips, come up with different ways to make lessons interesting, and I believe that many students do not have the chance to visit a museum and by attaching the Homestead Museum into a lesson would be exciting as well as rewarding. Another reason is because it also helped me learn the steps that need to be taken to take a class to a museum such as; the money, bus, lunches, ticket cost, and also how to attach it to my own lesson.
