Meet Rosanna Fukuda and Mitzie Higa.
They co-delivered a presentation at our recent conference titled Getting Students Fired up about History; it is Easier Than You Think.
Fukuda is the State Educational Specialist, Social Studies, of the Hawaii State Department of Education.
Dr. Mitzie Higa, Ed.D, NBCT is the Curriculum Coordinator/ELL Coordinator of Ewa Makai Middle School.
Session attendees participated in a guided guided activity that examined various visual renditions of the Statue of Liberty. This exercise focused on American symbolism.
By using a variety of primary and secondary sources, Fukuda and Higa facilitated historical inquiry with attendees as they do with students using the new College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards. This promotes critical thinking, reading, and writing.
Big mahalo Rosanna and Mitzie!
