Creative History Classroom

  • Use artifacts if possible-kids love to handle objects
  • Have a book gallery-use plate stands to showcase books (fiction and non-fiction) on the topic you are studying with your students
  • Use milk of magnesium tablets to neutralize the acid in newspapers (this will keep them from turning yellow)
  • Use the WWW-Quia is great for online quizzes
  • Have your students create bulletin boards (grade with rubrics)
  • Incorporate literature, if possible
