  I love this idea of teaching history backwards, starting with a more recent event, and then exploring back This would allow the students some investment in the material if the topic was explored by tracing it back and following where the threads of conversation in the classroom took it.

  • This took me back to a conversation I’d had years ago with Jim Moulton.  We concluded for the wildly gyrating logic of our discussion that we should be teaching history backwards.  We should start with today and work our way back via various topic threads, that might best be determined by the students.
