This issue of Art to Zoo suggests that mnemonics belong at one end of a history-learning continuum and that telling historical stories belongs at the other. The issue contains secondary accounts of two historical stories, an attempted escape to freedom on a ship called the Pearl and Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb. Accompanying each story is a set of primary sources for students. Also included is information on the storytelling process and technique.
Note: This is an archival publication dating back to 1992 and any supplements or suggestions for off-site education may not be available.
