Thought Provokers: Teaching History Through the Art of Robert Griffing

by Kathleen Werner Millward

Using an interdisciplinary approach, history and writing instructor Kathleen Werner Millward developed a 350-page Resource Guide that provides teachers with 40 examples of historical art and over 100 different classroom activities and assignments. Based on the premise that learning must be meaningful, assignments are developed to make students think: to develop their writing, speaking, and problem-solving skills; to stimulate their imagination; to instill an appreciation for Pennsylvania's rich Native American heritage; and to make students aware of Western Pennsylvania's critical role in American history.
