About the store
Hi fellow teachers! I was a history teacher for thirty years at Palisades High School, Beverly Hills High School, and at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. I taught virtually every class in high school social studies over the course of those thirty years, but a specialized in AP European and Modern World History. I recently retired from teaching and am posting my favorite lessons that I found most helpful for my students over the years. I always attempted to incorporate primary and secondary sources into my daily lesson planning to help students develop their higher level thinking skills as well as to obtain a better appreciation of the times they were studying. I hope some of these lessons help you in your daily grind to reach students and develop historical literacy.

Analyzing Imperial Motives: Primary Source Lesson on Economic Motives 1880-1900
This lesson is designed to help articulate the economic motive of the New Imperialism which occurred in the late 19th Century. Students will view a political cartoon and then read a primary source, both of which demonstrate the economic motive. The second source builds on the first, as Ferry stresses the importance of economic competition and tariffs that have arisen in Europe. These economic realities help to underscore the importance of developing new colonies abroad.

Teaching style
I used a wide variety of teaching methods, but my overall goal was to help students develop an interest in history and develop strong higher level thinking skills. Students worked individually, in pairs, and in small groups throughout the year. I also lectured from time to time to help build interest in history and to help students see the many connections both within and between units.
My own education history
I graduated from San Diego State University and earned my teaching credential at Loyola Marymount University. Since finishing my credential work at Loyola, I completed the coursework for a Masters in Education specializing in Educational Technology. More recently I have taken many classes through University of San Diego in United States and 20th Century history. I am an avid reader in European History as well as a fan of Historical fiction. Currently, I am reading about the Marquis de Lafayette.
Additional biographical information
After living in Manhattan Beach for most of my life, I currently live in Central Oregon, just south of Bend.
