Finding each student's way into history

What advice would help a prospective high-school history teacher reach different students?

Find each student's access point into history and connect the broader context to what already interests them.

Students do not all enter history through the same subject or method. A teacher should identify what already interests each student and use it as the route into a wider historical setting. Football clubs, for example, can lead into the politics and society surrounding a team at a particular time. The advice places the student's curiosity ahead of the teacher's preferred path through the subject.
