Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Grateful for Ashland University, the MAHG program, & the James Madison Foundation. It’s been an honor to be a James Madison Fellow, to earn another master’s degree & study our nation’s history, & to meet so many amazing educators. I’m really proud of this one. πŸ’œπŸ’›πŸ¦…πŸ“œπŸ›οΈ #iteachsocialstudies #edusky

Review Quilts were a success! What a fun review tool to prepare us for midterms. Thank you @ggcoe.bsky.social for the idea! Sharing my quilts for my World Studies 9 and 10 classes.

9th is from Paleolithic era to late 1400s, and 10th is from 1500s to post Cold War era. Quizlet has definitely been a good strategy, maybe I can find some pre-made ones to add to/adapt. Thanks!!

Since it’s my first year teaching high school, it’s my first time prepping for midterm exams. Any suggestions for review strategies or games I can do with my 9th and 10th grade world history students?

It’s a group of educators from around the country that meet virtually once a month to discuss civics education. iCivics facilitates it all and provides great resources!
