Trying New Things

One thing that I love about teaching is being creative and trying out new techniques. I have recently been experimenting with digital interactive notebooks, new review games, comic strips, and word walls. It has been fun coming up with these ideas and making them happen!

A comic strip depicting the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The spark that started WWI. Stick people are great!

This is a page from a U.S. History digital interactive notebook. Students type their notes in the windows and door of the tenement house. They are also required to find images online that represent this idea and past those pictures into three windows. It is truly interactive, and the engaging format helps students to better understand and remember what they have learned!

Students worked together to assemble a puzzle to review for a quiz.

I had a lot of fun one Sunday night when I created this colorful word wall for our WWI unit. Did you know that the Great War was caused by MANIA?
