World History: Teaching Round-Up
As a former teacher, I understand the challenges of teaching World History. With so much content and limited resources, it can be challenging to make the subject interesting for students. The ancient world may seem distant and disconnected, making it difficult to engage students in the material.
However, I believe that understanding World History is crucial for students to gain a foundation for comprehending contemporary societies. By studying the societies, philosophies, and governments that have greatly influenced modern countries, we can equip students with valuable knowledge.
The question remains, how can you effectively teach this vast subject? The sheer amount of content in World History can be overwhelming, and as a teacher, you may not be a specialist in all of the cultures you need to teach. If you allow it to this can lead to feelings of insecurity not to mention a lot of time-consuming preparation.
This is why I’ve committed to creating effective tools and lessons for teachers to teach World History. Below is a Round-Up of the World History resources I have created over the years to help teachers and students with this subject. I hope you find this helpful.
