Sketches in History | Thirteen Days in October

Sketches in History | Thirteen Days in October

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story; it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!

In this episode, Lottie finds a torn piece of paper tucked beneath a heavy book on her grandfather's desk: a handwritten note in small, slanted pencil, with no name and no date, just two sentences and a small drawing that looks like a sun, or maybe a star. In this episode, your kids will discover what it looks like when an entire country decides it is done being afraid, why students with a piece of paper and a list of sixteen demands can change the sound of a city street, and what sovereignty really means when you tear a symbol out of your own flag because it was never yours to begin with.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
