2012: Innovative History Education - Exemplar Activities

Innovative History Teaching – Exemplar Lessons, which includes 34 lessons. All lessons are connected to different curriculum topics, as well learning outcomes. They are categorised in four categories: (1) Multiperspectivity, (2) Controversial Issues, (3) Critical Thinking and (4) Creative Thinking. In addition, all topics have as well a strong element of making history be the history of ordinary people’s every-day lives. These 34 lesson modules are all based on referenced sources as evidence, and work towards a deeper students understanding of multiperspectivity. This material was developed over the course of three years, involving over 170 History Educators from all regions of Turkey.

This resource book is a collection of twenty-nine worksheets offering innovative sources and teaching ideas for the classroom on topics related to Everyday and Family Life, Religion, Migration and Multicultural Life in Georgia in the 20th century. The book can be used by history and civics teachers as complementary teaching material from the 9th to the 12th grade. It aims to make history an engaging subject for students by presenting them in a lively way “why”, like the introduction to the book says, “people with different ethnic and religious identities considered themselves part of (the Georgian) society, and what have made them feel marginalized”. The publication is the result of the three-year project Tolerance Building through History Education in Georgia, How to Teach History and Citizenship in a Multicultural and Multi-confessional Environment? supported by the MATRA programme of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project involved over 300 Georgian history educators across the country.
