The teaching approach: The teacher employs an interactive and
experiential approach to teaching local history. Rather than relying solely on
lectures, the lesson incorporates visual aids, group activities, and storytelling
to bring historical events to life. This approach encourages active
participation and deepens students' understanding by making connections
between the past and their own lives.
Teacher activities: The teacher begins the lesson by asking students what
they know about the history of their town or city. They use the map and visual
aids to provide context and illustrate key points. Throughout the lesson, the
teacher facilitates discussions, shares anecdotes, and asks probing
questions to encourage critical thinking. They also assign group activities
where students research specific aspects of local history and present their
findings to the class.
Learner activities: Students actively participate in discussions, ask
questions, and engage in group activities. They take notes in their workbooks,

group activities, they collaborate with their peers, conduct research, and
prepare presentations to share their new found knowledge with the class.

and respect throughout the lesson. They listen attentively to the teacher,
