By Stephanie's History Store on January 15, 2017 • ( 6 Comments )

A Review Game Your Students Will LOVE

By Stephanie's History Store on December 7, 2016 • ( 16 Comments )

This review competition is NO PREP and can take as few as 5 minutes or as many as 15, it depends on if you ask follow-up questions and how in depth the students’ responses get. I start by writing the main topics we studied on the board. Each is […]

How to Review History with Word Clouds

By Stephanie's History Store on November 28, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

I learned about word clouds a few years ago, but for some reason didn’t use them until this year.  It is such a quick and easy informal assessment (especially if it’s one of those days where you need to shake things up, or you finished sooner than you […]

My Favorite Way to Start a Conversation on Perspective

By Stephanie's History Store on August 13, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )
