Description

Have you ever imagined Woodrow Wilson's thoughts as he declared war on Germany in 1917? Did you ever wonder what raced through John Marshall's mind when he conducted the first peaceful transition of political power in history? History's Moments Revealed: American Historical Tableaus, Teacher's Edition brings back the long-forgotten art of tableaus. Popular entertainment during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, tableaus feature several people who stand, motionless, in a particular scene from history, while a narrator describes their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The tableaus included in History's Moments Revealed entice audiences to become emotionally involved in a frozen moment of time that significantly defines the American character. This anthology of thirty dramas provides a wide range of snapshots from the least to the most famous characters from U.S. history. Elementary through high school history classes can perform these thought-provoking and insightful scenes to help generate meaningful discussions that will facilitate deeper understanding. Teachers can also use the historical notes and supplementary materials included for each tableau to challenge their students to embark on further research. With this innovative technique, you'll be able to broaden your students' knowledge of American history and have fun at the same time!
