There are three things. 

1. 100-200 words (Primary source audio)

2. 1~2 paragraph (SCIM-C Handout)

3. 1~2 paragraph (summary)

1. 1. Primary Source Audio

Step 1: Explore RadioDiaries.org, an effort by NPR to document the stories of people's lives. The site is a reminder that in history, people live lives and not themes. Consider the following reflection questions as you explore:

• Choose one Diary, one Portrait, and one History to listen to. What did you choose? What did you learn from the story?
• How does the editing of these audio files impact the listening experience for the audience?
• Do you think your students could produce their own Radio Diaries? NPR does! Here's what they say: "Anyone can make a radio diary....Whether you’re interviewing a neighbor, or a grandparent, or someone you’ve never met, a microphone is a passport into their lives."

• Here's the Teen Reporter Handbook to help you and your students get started.

Step 2:  write one to two paragraphs that capture the essence of your reflections from the questions posed in Steps 1 above. Aim for something between 100 and 200 words long. Please provide links that point back to the Diary, Portrait, and History you chose.

2. 2. SCIM-C handouts

Now that you have a bit of an understanding of SCIM-C, mull over this inquiry approach to learning history and ask yourself the following questions:

• What experiences doing history (performing historical inquiry) did you have when you were a student?
• Did you ever apply strategies like SCIM-C when you studied history?
• What do you think about giving students the opportunity to do history as opposed to the more traditional lecture and textbook approach?

a one to two paragraph reflection that addresses these questions.

• What experiences doing history (performing historical inquiry) did you have when you were a student?
• Did you ever apply strategies like SCIM-C when you studied history?
