Why is it important to study history?
It tells the story of humanity. We are all connected across geographic space, time, culture, and personal experiences. The past informs our present, and helps us to make better decisions that can affect our future.
About Me
Hello!
My name is Ms. Zhao and I have been a History/Social Science teacher here at Temple for 20 years. I have been blessed with an opportunity to serve as an educator in this diverse community and have seen many young people go on to achieve great success. Learning is an adventure and this course will give all students the opportunity to explore the past, to develop the skills to think, ask good questions, and make meaningful connections to their lives today.
I enjoy traveling the world and encourage all students to explore other cultures when given the opportunity. Journeys in far-off places will provide a deeper understanding of our world, and ultimately of ourselves. Seeing life through the eyes of another is the greatest life lesson.
The World is a book, and those who do not travel, read only one page. - Saint Augustine
