THE STORIES OF YOUR
HISTORY
Starting from stories we'll approach local, national and European history
1. First step: the local history
The stories told by the students will help us approach local history through family tales and family trees. We'll compare these stories to find out the similarities or differences, namely concerning economics, immigration and culture. It will be interesting to interview different witnesses of this local history
2. Second step: the national history
The approach is the same: we'll exchange the students' stories and compare them, and try to find out some common points in terms of culture, immigration. In this case we would work on that. We will also focus on some national events, or important places or people.
Eventually we will have the students write about what they know about the history of other countries.
3. Third step: European history
We will either work on the students' stories themselves or on a chronology worked out by those students. The aim is to select the events which occur frequently and have the students from different countries tell them (or draw them) in order to compare the different points of view. The goal is to have the students give their own idea of Europe.
