Patricia O'Neill teaches history of Western civilization, world history and European history courses.
“I try to show the students the big ideas and events and encourage them to change the kaleidoscope slightly so they can view those events from the eyes of the people in the culture or time period we are studying,” says O’Neill.
In addition, O’Neill blends her extensive travels in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and her natural storytelling ability to make history come alive for her students.
“I tell stories, bring in food, costumes and slides — anything else I can think of — to make the class more enjoyable for the students.”
