The Author
Deborah Kobza
Deborah had a vision to create a simplified overview of Canadian history, an overview where no one would be left out or left behind in learning it.
With a pioneering spirit and a purpose beyond herself she laboured for three years bringing forth a talking timeline called "History Tellers"!
History Tellers is truly an extraordinary accomplishment. There is nothing out there like it. Lives and learning are being changed and touched with this unique multi-sensory method of learning.
What is History Tellers?
History Tellers is a multi-sensory learning method for teaching an overview of Canadian history. 48 main events are "spoken" with hand-actions-in 90 seconds!
​
The History Tellers' resource pkg. comes with 3 parts:
