Playing with World History: From Primary Sources to Interactive Experiences
For ACE Day, students in World History to 1500 will present interactive learning activities grown from their primary-source textbook investigations. Working in House Groups, each team advances a historical thesis supported by primary and secondary sources. Audiences will engage, decide, and solve—playtest a thesis-driven board game; step into a living-history station or historical role-play; or listen to excerpts of a podcast. Every activity asks participants to weigh evidence, practice historical reasoning, and see how narrative persuades. The aim is to make solid claims about the past, invite the public to test them, and leave with a clearer understanding of how we know.
