Individual questions like, 'Something he struggled with' or 'life after presidency' encourage students to explore and understand the presidents' lives and motivations. When complete, the flags can be hung up as a bunting banner or as a colorful bulletin board. Paper is sized to tabloid 11x17, but can be scaled down to 8.5x11 when you print. *************************************

Experience

• 17+ years of teaching experience • currently teaching: Instrumental Music (Concert Band) gr. 7 to 12, Choir all grades, World History gr. 7, AP Music Theory (the last one is entirely online!)

Teaching style

My students: read the music they are playing, cry when the music they make moves them, get angry and joyful about the events of the past and their meaning today, see all sides of every argument (and every newspaper article), understand the power and importance of their own voice, grow into independent learners, but most of all my students don't just sit there - they experience learning.
