Why Study History:
Show students that everything has a history, even them!
I started the activity by bringing in my childhood toy. It is rather sad looking after all these years. I shared memories about the stuffed animal, a dog, and how I remember dropping it in a street, when I was a little girl. My dad had to go back and retrieve it. It had gotten run over a few times! Pinky is no longer pink and my mom had to place new eyes on it several times.
- What was your favorite toy as a younger child?
- Why was it important to you?
- Describe what it looked like?
- What happened to your favorite childhood toy?
Write a paragraph with an opening sentence. Expand on your responses in your paragraph. Make sure to have a closing or wrap up sentence.
Ask the students to share their favorite childhood toys with the rest of the class.
