Fifties 1950 Culture in America Mini Museum
The powerpoint file includes 10 slides that must be printed out in color. (just one set, so it's not that expensive). Usually they are primary sources, or charts and maps with questions or a mini activity. Post the slides around the classroom. Then tell the students you have sort of created a mini-museum of the topic you are teaching. Divide the class in 10 groups. Each should go to one station. They will rotate clockwise in about 3 min and they must answer all questions in a separate piece of p

Experience

Teaching style
The style of teaching that you mostly see in this store is simply trying to overcome a challenge that most teachers face in the social studies, namely how do you get to the higher levels of learning in Bloom's Taxonomy? This comes naturally when the subjects taught are heavy on skills such as science and math, but not in the social studies, where the subjects are heavy on content. I find that the best way to engage students at the highest levels of Bloom is by giving them a challenge or a crisis (there are many in history). Let them solve it before you lecture on how the crisis was resolved. This can be as simple as a worksheet on how the Senate and military generals tried to resolve a crisis on Rome or as complex as actually engaging in scientific experiments to study the Scientific Revolution. Then the students are engaged in higher level thinking and then they come to anticipate the answer from you. It really works!
