3 Ways to Fill Time at the End of Class

By Stephanie's History Store on September 24, 2016 • ( 1 Comment )

I imagine most of us have been in this situation before: you plan a great lesson, it is engaging, challenging, and every student completes the work.  Then you look at the clock and there’s 15 minutes left to class.  Well that happened to me not too long ago; the […]

By Stephanie's History Store on September 8, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

You always hear about why it’s good to include something positive about a student whenever you have to contact their parent with something negative, and that’s easy enough to do throughout the year when you have to reach out to parents.  You also frequently hear how it’s a […]

My Favorite Way to Start a Conversation on Perspective

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

One of my favorite first week of school discussions is about perspective.  Because of this particular map (which I found at a map store in Seattle a few years ago), it always ends up being a student generated conversation (which I love!!!).  After about 3-4 days in class, […]

Why should we study history

How to Respond to, “Why do We Study History?”

By Stephanie's History Store on July 3, 2016 • ( 10 Comments )

In just about a month, students around the world (or at least the northern hemisphere) will be asking their social studies teachers, “why do we have to study history?” Of course there are great answers to that question, it’s just a matter of whether teachers spoon feed students the answers […]
