a) I think that Kozol’s main premise is that students need to be integrated in to the history they are learning. They always see history as this thing of the past that no one really participated in, and therefore they find it impossible to relate to or think that it is of no importance to them. Kozol really wants students to assert themselves in history and for teachers to allow them to make “I” statements that help them connect to the content. He wants students to see that they are part of history themselves, even if they don’t believe so. b) I really agree with what Kozol has to say in his article. I was always presented history as though it was something that just simply happened in the past, and wasn’t something that could really be delved in to and experienced in a first hand matter. I don’t want my students to be faced with this same obstacle, so I can see myself implementing the positive stance towards “I” statements. c) I think that this article relates well with the Postman and Weingertner article because they both want education to better benefit students. Both articles come to the conclusion that students should be active participants in their learning, and that students are more willing be active participants when they are fully engaged and interested in a lesson. d) I would recommend this essay to anyone that feels like they are teaching history passively. Or even Language Arts for that matter. Students should always be as actively involved as possible, and maybe some teachers just need a small hint such as this article to change their viewpoint in how they are teaching their students.
