History of Immigration Readers Theater
This readers theater explains the history of immigration to the United States. I have used it as a whole class language arts/history activity by numbering each line. My students all have numbers so it is easy for them to see what part they have to say. Each line is short as to keep the reading moving. The script can be adapted for any number of students by editing the numbers next to each line. I have used this readers theater as an introduction to a unit as well as a final wrap-up.

CIVIL WAR SHORT STORY // "BLOOD OF A YANKEE"
"Blood of a Yankee" is a great way to whet the appetite of your students, sparking their interest and curiosity in the Civil War. The story is a personal narrative about a boy who happens to live during one of America’s most tumultuous events, the war between the states. As in any conflict there is always more than one side. This story raises another aspect of the war, what if you don’t want to fight? In the past I have used "Blood of a Yankee" to introduce the Civil War to my students, and it

Socratic Seminar - The American Revolution - Common Core Aligned
This Socratic Seminar allows teachers to have students focus on broad themes and undercurrents that surrounded the events of the American Revolution. By providing teachers and students with the option to cover overarching discussion points, such discussions allow for more breadth than a typical Socratic Seminar, but still give teachers the option of selecting specific text excerpts for inclusion in the seminar as well. In this way, the discussion works more as a Thematic Seminar.

I Know My State - A project-based learning packet for all state histories
This packet contains a complete plan for student-led project-based learning. With only a few minutes of prep, your students will be capable to creating their own educational experience and then share what they learned with the rest of the class. Find an 8½ x 11 picture of your state and divide it into quadrants. Cut that picture and give one section to each of the four groups so they know where their territory ends. Consider enlarging the quarter-sized state to make it easier for your students
