Amazing World Records of History: 20 Innovative, Easy-To-Integrate Lesson Plans Teach Key Concepts and Motivate All Students!

A great way to teach history Capture students' imagination with a jaw-dropping world record and then build on that interest to teach core ideas. For example, a lesson on the world's oldest city (it's 12,000 years old-and people still live there ) leads to activities about where people choose to build cities and why, and an in-depth look at students' own community. Students research how boats changed history, read cunefiform, map the Columbian Exchange, explore linguistic diversity, and conduct dozens of other high-interest activities.
