I learned about the SCIM method for the first time. I am interested to see how I can implement this strategy with all the grade levels I teach. Telling students what happened has made the study of history passive for students, and I am as guilty of this as anybody. I think that having students find out why things happened can engage them more actively. The trouble always comes down to time. We are very good at adding things to curriculum (e-portfolio, common tasks, etc...) but not so good at taking things out.

It would be interesting to conduct some kind of survey of adults (who are not teachers) and ask them how they felt about history class in high school. Many of them did not like it, finding out why could give us some insights on what we can do to improve.
