While teaching social studies, I try to incorporate visuals as much as possible. I can tell the students story after story, but they can really grasp what I am saying when they are able to see it for themselves in visuals.
Pictures help the students visualize the past.
They are able to store that picture in their mind, which helps them understand the reality of the past more effectively. Here are just a few pictures that I have used for the enhancement of Native American culture. I also listed some web sites that focus on native American culture. This is a painting drawn to represent the Trail of Tears. This is a picture of Sequoyah, a great Indian leader.
