  • History Alive

    Funded Aug 7, 2018

    This resource has helped my classroom immensely! We use this whiteboard during our everyday lessons. The students are always engaged when it is their turn to come up to the whiteboard to share their thoughts about the lessons. Every student now has a place to express their creativity with their peers and myself.

    This material has helped my students increase their understanding of historical thinking and reasoning skills. For example, this chart serves as a perfect focal point for the necessary anchor charts. Everyday when the students enter my classroom they eagerly look at the whiteboard for the learning target and do now for the day. Also, this whiteboard serves as a perfect forum for students to ask questions about a historical topic or skill.

    This resource has helped my scholars immensely and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for supporting my students become the best historical thinkers and dreamers!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Vines

This learning easel will enable my students to close read primary and secondary sources. Students will incorporate these techniques, which will help them corroborate central ideas, identify and describe themes, and analyze historical contexts. This easel will provide my students support by having a place to locate models for close reading through anchor charts and close reading symbols. In addition, the easel will provide my students a space to showcase their understanding of historical context through primary and secondary sources. It will do this by giving them a white board area to collaborate with peers and create an open environment to seek answers to the essential questions of the unit.
