How To Encourage Your High School Student To Be Interested In History And Civics

Shelbi Wilson (Teacher, Lincoln High School, Riverside, CA) gives expert video advice on: How can I encourage interest in history and civics?

How can I encourage interest in history and civics?

We always want to encourage history and civics with our children because if we don't understand the past, and we've all heard it, we're bound to repeat it. To encourage my child to learn history and civics, especially for our young, inquisitive students who want to make change, we want to have them create questions about our government, civic society, things that happen, but we also want to encourage them to answer those questions by looking at the history of how we've answered them in the past. Is it something we've seen before? Look at patterns and trends in history so that if they want to change with something in the future, we can encourage them by having them look to history and the past.
