I'm doing a practicum in a middle school this quarter.
The social studies teacher for 8th grade is in the
process of "inventing" a world history class for
his students. Apparently, the curriculum changed
this year and he was caught with a book that only
lasted for 3/4 of the year.
Does anyone have any great ideas for units,
materials, or activities that would be appropriate
for middle school students? The stuff he's found
so far has all been for the high school level, and
he would rather have material written for middle
schoolers. Of course, he realizes that he may end
up simplifying some of the units he's found for next
year.
He is supposed to cover world history from 1492-1815
in one school year with 8th graders. He also
mentioned having a particularly difficult time
finding things on the Renaissance (sp?).
Thanks in advance
