They don't do that anymore

We need some understanding of the past to make sense of the present and to cope with the future. Everything happening now is, in a sense, because of what happened before. The present is connected to both past and future.
This scheme suggests a number of historical ideas, facts and stories as stimulus to create group drama and encourages students to respond and develop their own understanding of things in history that people don’t do any more. Despite today’s technology people are still human.
