SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES

Questioning     Ms. Smith, why....?     History


School programs to be remembered. Absorbing one person 30-45 minute "stage" performances with 15 minutes at the end to let students ask any question they want. Most teachers say they have never seen their students so involved...so quiet. And Heroes Of History performances are even TAKS supportive!

Teachers receive a Curriculum Guide giving pre- and post-performance ideas that multiply the impact of this unique experience plus students can e-mail the character and receive personal reponses.

Here is what schools say about us!

Your ability to tailor the school period timeframe means you can match this edutainment experience with your scheduling needs.

Heroes Of History portrayals are appropriate for 1st graders through college level students:

  • Grades 1-3: Start younger students out finding the fun in learning history with our unique programs for younger students. TAKS requires learning of local history in 2nd grade.

  • Grades 4-5: Most school systems in Texas require Texas history be taught in the 4th grade and American history in 4th grade. What a wonderful time to use this unique TAKS supportive technique to introduce impressionable students to exciting Texas history.

  • Grades 6-8: Most school systems in Texas require Texas history be taught again in the 7th grade and American in 8th. This is a time to challenge the students who are getting their second view of Texas history by having them come face-to-face with people they have read about. Expose some for the first time to American or Texas history....help them with the TAKS tests. In 8th grade, American history is taught....two pivotal individuals in American history are Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin

  • Grades 9-12: This is the time to reinforce the student's knowledge of American and Texas history through the use of an "edutainment" vehicle. Let them relive the American and Texas Revolutions in one hour, or re-hear the tales of the cattle drives and ranching, or find out about a part of history they didn't get in their text books. In 11th grade, American history is taught....two pivotal individuals in American history are Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin

  • Inservice programs: Bob Heinonen personally provides either keynote presentations or individual sessions. Teachers have an opportunity to upgrade their current knowledge of Texas history and even learn some new tricks in teaching it.

The length of the portrayal is adjustable and the Q&A session is optional. Audiences up to 150 students are appropriate, however, the smaller the group, the more impact the message. When a microphone is not required, this edutainment event is intimate and personal.
