Illuminating Integrated Humanities Classes with Historical Storytelling
I teach a two-semester integrated humanities class entitled "Ideas and Values in the Humanities." The first part of my fellowship project is to research and craft in-depth stories of five people from the cultures we study in the second semester of the course. In addition to giving a glimpse into the life of each famous person, I hope to embed into each story the important ideas and values of the people in this particular culture at this particular time. For the second part of my project, I want to develop evaluation tools to assess what students learn from my storytelling. I intend to conduct pre and post assessments evaluating attitudes, concepts, cultural values, and facts. I am spending the fall semester researching and developing the stories and the assessment tools. Then, in the spring, I will tell the stories and conduct the evaluations. At the conclusion of spring semester, I will analyze the results, documenting the value of using historical stories in an integrated humanities class.
