What Doesn't Belong and Why, a 5 Minute Social Studies Review Game

An Easy Way to Encourage Higher Level Thinking

By Stephanie's History Store on November 14, 2020 • ( 2 Comments )

One of my favorite (and quick) ways to get students to do some higher level thinking without realizing it is a game I call, “What Doesn’t Belong and Why?”  I typically use this as a thematic or unit review so that students have the academic knowledge to flesh […]

My Favorite Bell Ringer Prompts and Ideas

By Stephanie's History Store on October 27, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

Disclaimer: I know bell ringers and exit tickets aren’t for everyone.  I started my teaching career not using them and now they are part of my middle school and on-level high school routine (for time reasons I don’t use them in APUSH). My first year teaching I wasn’t […]

Secondary classroom debate prompts and graphic organizers

My Go-To Secondary Friendly Debate Prompts

By Stephanie's History Store on October 13, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

My students love debating each other, LOVE it.  However, they usually need practice at the start of the year defending their stance, especially if they’re middle schoolers or freshmen.  Too many times I’ve heard, “because I said so,” or in an academic debate they don’t use the right […]

5 Favorite Ways to Use Whiteboards in Social Studies

By Stephanie's History Store on August 12, 2018 • ( 6 Comments )

After years of thinking about it, this summer I finally bought a set of classroom white boards (my largest class is 22 this year so it wasn’t cost prohibitive).  Instead of wasting paper and prep time on my end, this year a lot of my quick warm up […]

A “Just the Facts” Social Studies Project

By Stephanie's History Store on March 14, 2018 • ( 2 Comments )

As teachers, no matter the content area, we frequently find ourselves with too much to teach and not enough time to teach it all sufficiently.  That is definitely the case in my 6th grade World Geography class, so when we got to sub-Saharan Africa, I had to get creative […]
