Ryan O'Donnell talks about how he uses Star Wars in his history classes to convey a theme in real life history. O'Donnell uses cases of political change in Star Wars to show how the Roman Empire has fallen. This blog gave me the idea to integrate popular shows and movies into daily lesson. Especially in history, this would be very beneficial. I remember in high school my history teaching my junior year would relate historical events to every day life. One specific instance was when American wanted to separate from the king but still receive assistance, it was like a teenager wanting to leave their house but still have their mom come over to make their bed.
