About the store
Welcome to Casey’s Class!
I design middle & high school world history resources built for real classrooms, real pacing, and real students.
In this store, you’ll find lessons that:
• Ask students to analyze, rank, debate, create, and justify with evidence
• Combine structure with creative thinking rather than worksheets alone
• Work as full lessons, extensions, or meaningful end-of-unit tasks
• Are designed to be taught without overhauling your schedule or prep time
I’ve been teaching for over 30 years across social studies, language arts, and upper elementary classrooms. The resources here are ones I’ve used, revised, and returned to year after year with my own students.
My goal is simple: clear directions, purposeful student work, and lessons that feel worth the time you spend teaching them.

3D Diorama Group Project | Hands-On | Editable Rubric | Any Subject
A quadrama is a four-sided 3D display where each section tells part of a larger story. Groups have to agree on what to illustrate in each panel, which means they are negotiating ideas, making decisions, and building something that only works if all four pieces connect. History, science, literature, vocabulary, biographies: the four-part structure fits almost any topic you are already teaching. Three pages of subject-specific ideas are included so you are never starting from scratch. Students

No Prep Review Game | Whole Class Test Prep Activity for Any Subject
Students work in teams, discuss possible answers, and decide how much classroom "money" they want to risk before the timer runs out. The more confident they feel, the more they can wager. Suddenly, every review question matters. This whole class review game works with almost any subject or grade level and can be reused all year with your own questions.

Teaching style
I believe history makes the most sense when students can see it, hear it, taste it, move through it, and argue about it. I intentionally enrich lessons with primary voices, role-play, food samples, music, movement, games, and reenactments, not as extras, but as tools for understanding. These experiences help students of all abilities access complex ideas and remember them long after the unit ends.
Yes, that’s me in the plague doctor costume. Costumes aren’t required, but curiosity is. My classroom is built around engagement, participation, and the belief that learning should feel active and human.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My students are my most honest reviewers, and their feedback shapes everything I create. I was honored to receive my site’s Teacher of the Year award some years ago, but what matters most to me are the handwritten notes, the hallway visits, and the “do you remember when…” conversations that follow students long after they leave my room.

Additional biographical information
Outside the classroom, I’m a mom of two grown kids, married to my high school sweetheart, and happiest when I’m traveling or reading. I hope these resources support your teaching and give your students something worth remembering.
