Lesson PlanLesson Plan - History of Me. "This unit introduces children to the concept of history as story, and establishes
student familiarity with documents and concepts of change and continuity between
now and the past. By telling their own stories through pictures, maps, toys, and
various other articles from their lives, students on the starting line of school may learn
to perceive history as something fun and personally relevant."
