Teaching history through biographies help lift history off the pages and help my students make connections to the people and their experiences to the past. I want my social studies students to not just understand the events of the past, but to understand the people involved in the events. Help students identify with why they (people in history) made the decisions they did, what they were striving for, what they were fighting for and how it impacts them today. Teaching history through biographies helps students identify with the past and make connections to their own futures. With each unit we study in US History and in World History, I use biographies to introduce the people and culture of the period. Each of these books will help my students learn about the people of the past beyond the textbook or small caption next to a picture. They will help introduce people of the past that may not have made the textbook but played an important role. I've seen firsthand that moment when a student learns about someone like them and begins to dream bigger for themselves. Help me to help my students understand their world so that they may be well educated, world citizens.
