My Project

I am very lucky to teach both advanced placement and on-level students in World History. Every year I strive to make my curriculum informative in the most engaging ways possible. I really try to make history come alive for my students.

With these materials, you will help me to create thought-provoking, collaborative, inquiry-based projects, and assignments.

Ultimately if my students are engaged they are deeply absorbing the content. I want my students to have fun and learn every day while in my classroom.

The materials such as highlighters, post-its, caddies, globes, and country flags will be used to carry our creative, engaging, group-based lessons. I have chosen the cell phone holder to eliminate distractions and assist students to focus on the academic content at hand.
