Students deserve an opportunity to fall in love with and engage with history as a vehicle for understanding their own worlds, rather than getting fed a dusty list of dates and wars. And who needs to enjoy what they're learning more than ESL students, for whom school is so often a frustrating and overwhelming experience? I teach at a public school with an international focus that serves high-need students, many of whom are recent immigrants from all over the world. I teach World History to students in the 10th grade who have been designated ESL (learning English as a Second Language) students. Essentially, the majority of my students are struggling with learning history and English at the same time, and I am responsible for building these students' English skills as I teach them the history content that they need to pass state exams and graduate from high school.
