In this episode of the Sage Studio Podcast, Sage Oak regional Mentors, Taylore Coulombe and Felicia Andersen talk about Living History Day, an exciting event at Sage Oak charter school. This event allows students to step back in history, choose their favorite historical figures, and present what they have learned to their peers. Living History Day is a culmination of research and project work for the students.
Living History Day will be held at six different locations, giving students in various regions the opportunity to participate. The event will take place in Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Temecula, Fullerton, Calabasas, and Buena Park areas at the end of October and early November. Please check your region for specific dates, times, and locations.
There are several benefits of the Living History Day event for students including integration of creativity, research skills, and writing. Taylore and Felicia emphasize that students have the chance to share what they have learned with a larger audience, beyond their usual home environment, and practice their public speaking skills. Students are encouraged to choose a historical figure that inspires them and create a presentation board displaying facts and pictures. They also have the opportunity to dress up as their chosen figure and deliver a brief speech in front of judges.
For parents interested in their children participating in Living History Day, be on the lookout for guidelines and sign-up information to be sent via Sage News, talk with your child's teacher, and visit www.sageoak.education.
