Description
Hey teacher! This is a US History curriculum like no other! If you're tired of lecturing and searching for ways to make your lessons more interactive, this bundle is perfect for you. This bundle includes 27 captivating YouTube history videos specifically designed for middle school students, covering the Colonies to the Civil War with some bonus lessons as well! Check out this episode on like "The Road to the Civil War," which allows you to spend less time lecturing and more time connecting with and supporting your students as they learn.
"ITS LIKE CRASH COURSE BUT WITH FULL LESSON PLANS & ACTIVITIES, TAUGHT AT A PACE AND IN A WAY THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN UNDERSTAND!"
The curriculum comes with full lesson plans for each video, so you don't have to spend time preparing materials. Instead, you can focus on what you do best – helping your students succeed! Each unit is organized into a student-friendly workbook with three sections for each video: a notesheet, a quick quiz, and an extension activity that builds critical thinking skills while having students wrestle with awesome history.
Check out the previews to see how the lessons work. It goes like this: as your students watch the videos at their own pace, they complete an interactive notesheet that includes a warm-up, fill-in-the-blanks, comprehension and critical-thinking questions, and a review activity. This approach ensures that your students not only understand the history, but also reflect on and think deeply about it.
After the video, your students will take a quick auto-graded Google form quiz (with a printable version available in the workbook) to check their understanding and receive instant feedback. The extension activity that follows each video dives deeper into the topic building historical thinking skills while aligning with state standards. These activities are varied to keep your students engaged and motivated to learn- timelines, historical postcards, analyzing primary sources and images, mapping activities, and more.
At the end of each unit, your students will take a multiple-choice test to assess their learning.
This curriculum saves you time, stress, and energy, allowing you to enjoy teaching and exploring history with your students! And there are answer keys are provided for everything.
