I am a member of a blogging community, #sunchatbloggers, that supports each other in a shared blogging adventure through ideas, encouragement, and comments. We decided to write about a central topic this month, a top five list of best practices. Because we all come from such varied teaching backgrounds the lists range from tech tools, increasing student talk, building rapport, etc. I don't often write about what goes on in my History class, and tend to focus on the language arts side of teaching when it comes to my blog posts, so I decided to dedicate my top five list to all of the History teachers out there. Not only am I sharing my ideas for making History awesome, but there are at least five lessons in this post that you can add to your drive to spice up your History curriculum.
Top 5 Strategies for Whipping up Engagement in History Class
1. Create Ambiance with a Field Trip and Some Mood Music
2. Mix in Some Modern Media
3. Add Pinch of Play
4. A Dash of Mystery
5. Blend with Costumes
Serve up some delicious lessons that make History stick to the roof of their mouths like wonder bread.
