In this session of the Sharing European Histories Self-Guided Course, our local expert, Ana Zdravkovic sits down with EuroClio’s Eugenie to discuss her lesson plan for the Using Stories of the Past to teach Students about its Complexity Teaching Strategy, written by Helen Snelson. 

Ana presents how the Teaching Strategy has inspired her to collect life stories from World War II to show her students how the same time period or event can be experienced in many different ways. She will present her lesson plan and some of the sources that she has selected. The session concludes with some practical tips and tricks for educators that want to execute this strategy in their own classroom.
