Then & Now: The Relevance of History in Current Events, is a series of Google Classrooms designed to create historical context for the stories we see in our social media feeds and on the news. Using primary sources, articles, and videos each classroom traces how past events have influenced our contemporary world, while empowering students to harness that knowledge to shape the future. Topics include Identity and the US Census, The Black Experience, Protest, Suffrage, and Immigration.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Each free classroom includes educator guides and informational videos for exploring how educators can best adapt the classroom for their in-person or distance-learning needs. Classrooms can additionally be adapted by users by adding and removing material, inviting students, and assigning due dates and grades.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Classrooms will be released weekly on Fridays beginning Friday, September 25. Classrooms can be secured by filling out the request form at https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Hr0sa1<\/a><\/span> or by emailing mowc@rihs.org<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
