All of our students want to learn history in a fun way. Before COVID, I used a variety of group projects, presentations, propaganda posters, gallery walks, and even simulations to teach history. Unfortunately, I am low on art supplies and I want to be ready for in-class instruction when it's safe to reopen our schools in East Los Angeles. Our students have been working too long on the computer and individually. The excessive amount of screen time has taken a toll on their socialization and creativity skills. If we were to go back to school in March 2021, I would not have sufficient art supplies for my students. I want my students to have a rich classroom experience with their peers when we go back to school next year. My goal is to have a variety of art supplies for students to choose from to create their art projects and expand their knowledge of history. I have seen first hand how excited my students get to work on a history propaganda poster or a history timeline. The students are more engaged and more likely to remember the content of the class.
