  As history teachers, we sometimes get lost in teaching the "big p picture" of history. This as a result, often causes our students to lose interest and become disengaged in the subject area of teaching. As educators it is our responsibility to bring history alive through engaging stories and dramatic presentations. This will create passionate learners who exercise critical thinking skills by asking questions that require them to "think outside the box".
  
  Instead of teaching history as a series of dates and events focus on the drama behind historical events through an event centered standpoint. Finding dramatic events is an interesting way to engage students. By focusing on an event centered standpoint this is will capture student's curiosity of the past. Secondly, teachers must create a link between students and a personal meaning to the subject area. By creating meaningful context, students will find it easier to remember the information being taught to them. In conclusion, by incorporating some of these helpful suggestions teachers will bring the subject of history alive through interesting techniques and strategies.
