When we as adults watched the events at the United States Capitol building on January 6th, we have one way of evaluating something that historical.  But what about students 13 and 14 years of age?  How do they process such an event?

Mike Fassold has years of experience teaching junior high school students social studies.  I asked Mike to appear on this podcast and talk about teaching junior high school social studies when a major event such at the riot at the Capital building happens, and how he discusses such an important date in American history as it is happening.
