| "Study the past if you would define the future." - Confucius |
By Middle School History and Geography I currently teach sixth, seventh, and eighth grade social studies. I have taught language arts in the past, but most of my classes have been social studies. Topics I teach include civics, economics, world geography, ancient history and American history.
I like to mix it up, presentations, activities, documentaries, etc... whatever gets students engaged. I do not use a history textbook.
Darn I guess I haven't won any individual awards yet. I did have multiple students qualify for the National History Bee finals in Atlanta and the National Geographic Bee Illinois state finals last year.

I am a huge history nerd. My favorite topic is World War Two.
