Introduction

Hello, young historians! We are about to embark on a fascinating journey through time and history. But first, we need to understand what Experience Record is and why it is important.

The Experience Record is a tool used to register and document our experiences, discoveries, and learnings. It can be done in various forms, such as diaries, photo albums, drawings, mind maps, videos, among others. The main goal of the Experience Record is to help us remember and better understand the things we have lived through, so we can learn from them.

Now, you may be wondering, 'Why do we need this to study History?' The answer is simple. History is not just about distant dates and facts, but also about the experiences of the people who lived before us. By recording our own experiences, we can better understand the experiences of other people in the past. This helps us create a personal connection with History and makes learning much more engaging and meaningful.

Contextualization

Now that we understand what the Experience Record is and why it is important, let's think about how we can apply it to the study of History.

Imagine you found an old photo album at your grandparents' house. These photos are from when they were young and show important moments of their lives. By looking at these photos, you can learn more about your family's history and, perhaps, even about the history of the place where they lived.

Similarly, by creating our own Experience Record, we can 'photograph' important moments of our lives and learn from them. Whether it's a family trip, a birthday, an achievement, or even a challenge we overcame, all these experiences can teach us something valuable about ourselves and the world around us.

And that's exactly what we will do in this project! Together, we will create our own Experience Record, where each of you will have the opportunity to record and share a significant experience from your life. And the best part is that, in the end, we will have a great treasure trove of stories and learnings to explore. Let's go, young historians!

Practical Activity

Activity Title: My Diary of Historical Adventures

Project Objective:

The objective of this project is for students to create a 'Diary of Historical Adventures', where they will record and document a past experience that has some meaning to them. The idea is for them to approach History in a more personal and emotional way, understanding that History is not something distant, but rather, part of who we are.

Detailed Project Description:

Each group of students should choose a historical event to research and study. It can be a global, national, regional event, or even something from the community where they live. After the research, students must create a 'Diary of Historical Adventures', where they will report what they learned about the chosen event and how it relates to their own lives.

The diary can be done in various forms, such as a drawing book, a scrapbook, a blog, or even a short documentary. Creativity is the limit! The important thing is that the diary includes written records, drawings, photos, or any other element that helps to tell the story in the most complete and interesting way possible.

At the end of the project, each group will present their 'Diary of Historical Adventures' to the class, sharing what they learned and the experiences they had while carrying out the project.

Necessary Materials:

• Books, magazines, and research websites
• Paper, pencils, colored pens
• Glue, scissors, tape
• Camera or cell phone for taking photos (with adult supervision)

Detailed Step-by-Step for Carrying Out the Activity:

1. Group Formation: Students should organize themselves into groups of 3 to 5 members.

2. Choice of Historical Event: Each group must choose a historical event to research. It can be an event they find interesting or something that has a connection to their lives.

3. Research: Students must conduct research on the chosen event. They can use books, magazines, and research websites. It is important that they take note of the most important information.

4. Creation of the 'Diary of Historical Adventures': With the research information in hand, students should start creating their 'Diary of Historical Adventures'. They can use drawings, cutouts, texts, photos, or any other element that helps to tell the story in a more interesting way.

5. Recording Personal Experience: In addition to the history of the chosen event, students should also record how this event relates to their own lives. They can do this through drawings, texts, or even short videos.

6. Project Presentation: At the end of the project, each group must present their 'Diary of Historical Adventures' to the class. They should explain what they learned from the research, how the experience of creating the diary was, and what they discovered about the connection between History and their own lives.

Remember, young historians: the most important thing is to have fun and learn from the project! Do not be afraid to be creative and express your ideas and feelings. Good luck!
