    Re-Energizing the High School History Lesson
    (University Honors College, Middle Tennessee State University, 2017-05) Odom, Quinlan
    Traditional methods of teaching History in High School lead to disengaged students. Reacting to the Past is a university-level pedagogy that has improved retention rates among college students. The RTTP pedagogy could be successful in the high school classroom as well. In order to test that theory, I have devised my own RTTP game which is tailored for high school students. So that I may assess the effects of the game, I have tested it with a group of volunteers and analyzed the data. Based on the results of my data, I will revisit the game I have written and make improvements based on the feedback I received from volunteers.
