The video discusses a 7th-grade Arkansas history class where students engage in interactive activities like digging for dinosaur bones and learning about historical events such as the Sultana shipwreck. The class uses storytelling to make history memorable, but time constraints limit coverage. Arkansas history is not mandatory for grades 7-12, though it's offered as a one-semester course. The Department of Heritage supports education through outreach and field trips, offering grants to offset costs. These experiences aim to instill state pride and interest in history.
