  • Civil War Lesson Plans Need a Boosts
    From what I remember of high school, my world history lesson plans are recalled vaguely as existing. I do not remember a single detail, and I believe that no time was spared to delve into the world's history at all.
  • Cold War Lesson Plans: Let's Get Excited
    I'm truly of the school that believes the best U.S. history lesson plans are the ones that seem to just flow out of you when you're standing at the front of the classroom. When you get excited about history, you pass that excitement onto your students.
  • How to Reap the Benefits of Good Social Studies Lesson Plans
    It was the first day of 7th grade, and I faced a classroom full of kids with desks lined up in neat little rows in front of me. I'm a history teacher, and it's my job to get kids interested in a subject that bores most of them to tears. They came into the classroom knowing that they were about to face a subject that makes their eyes glaze over, and I walked into the classroom knowing that I had to come up with civil war lesson plans, social studies lesson plans, and world history lesson plans that would keep their oh-so-short attention spans stimulated.
  • Making My Civil War Lesson Plans Fun
    When it comes to keeping the attention of school children these days, teachers really do have a tough job ahead of them. Today's kids are constantly bombarded by fast moving images, brightly colored ads and so much more. When it takes all the special effects of a video game or movie to keep their attention, how well do you think a single person standing in front of them is going to do? Comparatively, not well.
  • Using Technology in History Lesson Plans
    History continues to show us that new times bring new realities. Education is no exception to the rule. The question is not whether to bring technology into the educational environment. Rather, the question is which technologies are suitable for U.S. and world history subjects, from Civil War lesson plans to World War II lesson plans. Whether you're covering your American Revolution lesson plans or your Cold War lesson plans, PowerPointŪ presentations are available in pre-packaged formats to suit your classroom's needs.
  • Using PowerPointŪ to Teach Social Studies Lesson Plans
    Using traditional social studies lesson plans, it has become increasingly challenging to retain the attentions of our students. Some teachers and companies that develop innovative ways to present history lesson plans and social studies games are using technology--namely, PowerPointŪ Presentation software--to revolutionize the way we facilitate active learning in an electronically-driven era.
