How to make our history class better

My name is Lexus Medley. I am 13 years old. I am a very fast learner and I love reading. I think our history class should be hands on, interesting and exciting, more about black history.


One of the things that I think would make this class run more smoothly is hands on learning. I think its easier for students to learn when we are more involved. For example, if your just talking and making us read a bunch of books, we will lose interest. Not saying that everyday should be play day but keep the students involved.


Another thing that I think would help is if you kept the lessons interesting and exciting. If the students are bored the they wont pay attention or care not saying that you have to do everyday like a circus. Just dont sit up there and talk and read.


The last thing that I think would make this class is more black history. Personally I have been to alot of schools and it wasn't until I came to this school that there is not only white history there is black history as well. I mean there is nothing wrong with other history but I think as african american children who are ignorant to their own culture. We should be taught our own history we learn about anyone elses.


In conclusion I think that these ideas should help our history class be more successful. I look forward to having you teach our class. And hope we have a good rest of the year.
