Chapter 12 discusses history and how to teach it in elementary school. To start off, let's ask ourselves, "what is history and why is it important?" History is all the events that have happened in past societies and it is so important to discuss because learning about the events that have happened in the past prevent us from making the same mistakes as we once did! History has shaped our society into what it is today and it helps us to understand all people in society.
Teaching history at a young age is crucial for the development of children because some day, they will be the future of our society and making the decisions that shape our world. By teaching children the past events in history, they become aware as to what decisions they should and should not make, therefore setting a path to enable them to make the best possible decisions for people all around the world.
