Boomers And Seniors – Maintain Your Family History

When I tell people I taught history I’m always amazed at how often their response is, «Oh, I hated history. I didn’t learn anything worthwhile, just dates and facts.» That makes me sad because history is the greatest subject ever to teach and no one should find it boring. That’s just wrong! I suspect the reason that a lot of people didn’t like history was that their teachers didn’t tell enough stories. History is simply the story of people throughout time, and what’s more interesting to us than people?

At the next family function or reunion have Comics studies any older children present the concept of a Family Health History Tree as a School Project». It’s hard to turn down a possible life-saving health project such as this, especially when they want to do well in School.

Cookies are another option to delete. If you leave them uchecked, they won’t be cleared and someone could deduce at least some of the sites you’ve visited from the trail of cookies that are placed on your computer.

Make a time where the entire family can read together. Not reading aloud, just being in the same room and reading. If the child watches you read it will inspire them to as well.

Some of the things that are nice to have in a paper writing service are the important dates and events. But also include everyday things if you can find them. Perhaps your ancestor had a diary or journal where they recorded their average day. This type of thing makes them human and helps their descendants relate to them on a more familiar level. It is also good to note places they lived. If they spend most of their life in an area close to where you live, you can take your family to see the areas they lived and worked. This also helps to make a connection with your ancestors.

If you are a poetry writer or even dare I say a poet, you are also probably a poetry reader. You of all people know that poetry publishers are still out there. There are specific types of poetry that tend to get published though.

I find it hard to separate our actions from universal events. Everything hinges on what we do with our lives. The technologies we invent like surgery, chemotherapy, airplanes, guns, Internet, iPad and smart phones. The life styles we choose. The food we eat. The houses we build and choose to live in. The values we embrace, and so forth. The way we think has everything to do with where we are – our family, careers or lack of it, religion, our net worth or income whether poor or rich. We even go further to create a middle-class, whatever this is. Thoughts are the roots of everything. Whatever exists in our realm of reality is what we have given birth to by our thoughts. Thoughts are ideas, images, or conversations. They are not blank spaces or fillers in our heads. Thoughts are things.

You would be amazed at how quickly students would sit down to write a theme song (using historical events of course) for Mr. Washington and Mr. Revere? This not only engages them in the learning, but allows them to use their creativity to enhance their learning experience.
