In this guide, Lizette Vilaragut shares practical applications for enhancing note-taking, research, and geography skills in the elementary classroom. Drawing from her experiences as a typical teacher rather than a historian, she identifies key needs of students and provides actionable strategies. The ESPG method focuses on the economical, social, political, and geographical significance of historical events. The CSI approach encourages engaging research through case studies, and the GRASP method promotes active recall and retention of facts.

Practical Applications for the Classroom Lizette Vilaragut
Introduction • Not a historian, professor or expert in any historical time period • Typical elementary teacher • Math skills, timed tests • Reading scores • HOW CAN I USE THIS IN MY CLASSROOM?
What Are Our Children’s Needs? • We had a vertical team meeting and agreed on the following three needs: • Note-taking • Research • Geography
Our Response • ESPG: Note-Taking and Geography • CSI: Research • GRASP: Note-Taking
ESPGs- • Economical • Social • Political • Geographical Importance of any historical event or person
CSI - A Researching Delight • Create a case number usually based on a date • Provide new clues on each page • ESPG sheet for closure • Sometimes I provide the information, sometimes they have to find it themselves.
GRASP • Read text • Close book • Jot down all facts you remember • Check book and modify (correct or enhance) • Aids comprehension and fact retention, but it does not work for maps.
