Teaching style
If I am bored the students are going to be bored! So let's jazz this up! To me, history is one of the most important subjects students need to learn. With everything going on in the world, students need to be able to decipher what is real information and what is not, fact vs opinion, how to make informed decisions and why what happened in the world around us, before us, is important (if you need a lesson on that, I have got you covered). So let's do this together! Let's get up and moving! Let's get into character, get into costume, sing, become part of the situation, debate, rap battle it out and try and escape (the historical escape rooms).
