4QM Teaching

The Four Question Method wasn’t explicitly designed to teach civics, but we think it does a really good job of it. helps students to develop a critical civic disposition: listening to people who we expect to disagree with. But we can also interpret artifacts, images, or patterns of behavior, which is more typical in the lower grades.

Many cultural centers curate history, geography, and civic exhibits that connect the past with the present. They provide educators with access to historical records, narratives of interesting people in the community, and artifacts (e.g., maps, household objects, and the like) that can make lessons more engaging and impactful.

If possible, your group will share photos, videos, and other artifacts that reflect your work. You will provide the Zinn Education Project at least three updates (after first convening, mid-year, end of year) on your study group’s work (a form for these updates will be provided). The ideas above are suggestions.
