Shop For Hands On Social Studies Activities
If you are anything like me, teaching names and dates in social studies class just didn’t cut it. I couldn’t remember them all, let alone make 11-to 15-year-olds do it as well. There had to be a better way. Making social studies hands-on for students helps it to become more memorable and relevant instead of some distant date in the past. And when you don’t have time to think of all the ways to stand a lesson on its head, that’s where I step in. Hi, I’m Brittany, from The Colorado Classroom, and I have comprehensive lessons that make learning interactive. With folding crafts, note-taking devices, graphic organizers, and coloring to collaborative research, projects, demonstrations, and simulations; whether you’re looking for world, American, ancient, or state history, geography, and more, I have you covered with lessons that will make your students excited to learn.
