My Students

Recently, a student said to me, "Mr. Stuart, I love learning about world history, but sometimes I wonder what these places are like today." I thanked her for her feedback and wondered at how curiosity like this could be best satisfied for my students.

My kids are awesome and I love them.

We live in a small town, and yet my students are future world-shapers. I believe they can be the kinds of teens who grow up into parents, spouses, thinkers, and creators who impact others. Yet, for many of them, this small town is all they've ever known -- and there's both a beauty to that reality, and a limitation to it.

My Project

Imagine a world history classroom that had shelves full of books on travel. Imagine picture books jammed with tantalizing stories and jaw-dropping photographs, featuring places all over the planet. I am so thankful for the student who came up to me and sparked this idea because I can just imagine her face when she sees these books in our classroom. Even more than that, I think back to how my own love for the world was born: through the travel books of my grandparents. My students need 6 world travel books to excite their imaginations as they study world history.

With this project, you're building future readers, future travelers, and quite possibly future historians.

More importantly, you are giving the gift of a love for our planet and its many riches. Thank you so much!
