Introduction
My name is Jerome and I am from Parsons, WV which is in Tucker County. I would like to teach either World History or United States History to grades 9-12. I believe that high school students would learn more and retain more if they were taught how to take proper notes and develop critical thinking skills. I believe studying history helps develop critical thinking skills that the student can use across all subjects. However I do believe that rather than just lecture classes in my classroom I would implement videos, field trips, guest speakers, and interactive activities designed to help the students to interact with each other and myself and to learn the subject of history.

That is really cool that you want to be a secondary teacher. Not alot of people like History and they say it is so boring. But people like us understand that History is what makes us who we are today. Its important for us to want to teach teens. It is a critical stage in their lives! Good luck with the task we will have at hand!
