Create Your Own
Perfect
History Curriculum!

How can you make history the best part of your school day?
If you could coordinate your favorite history text with all the extracurricular books, maps, crafts, timelines, and other activities that you don't want to miss, you could create a history year to be excited about.

The simple steps in the eBook How to Create Your Own History Curriculum easily enable you to transform your jumbled mixture of good intentions into your own personal "Perfect Curriculum." Which means, you will...

Choose your favorite textbook and build everything else around it.

Know where to find timeline figures, maps, extracurricular crafts and other activities, and schedule when to use them so nothing is forgotten.

Coordinate your desired extracurricular reading with your text so that you stay in sync all year long.

Create your own personalized History Teacher's Guide to show you the way.

The best part is you don't need to change your own personal style! You choose the textbook you want. And you choose the outside reading and activities. All you need is to know how to coordinate your hodgepodge of ideas into a workable plan.

You Need to Know How to Capture ALL The Best Activities
and Put Them in a Place Where
You Can Easily Find Them When You Need Them!

Don't leave the best ideas behind. Where are your maps, timelines, reports, crafts, and lists of great extracurricular books? Are they forgotten in a file or lost in a closet? When you stumble on a great activity, you should be penciling it in where you can find it and USE it at the appropriate time.

The difference between what you are doing right now and what you should be doing is in one simple word: organization. If you know how to create a plan that puts everything at your fingertips, you could do so much more. And the plan works no matter what textbook you use.

"I absolutely love this text and am applying it not only to my history curriculum,
but...in other subjects as well!
...This book was inspiring, practical, and full of resources." --Bonnie P.

Co-op/Classroom Ideas

Use the Reading Logs above for your students to record their books. Reward every 5 books with candy or a small toy from a Prize Box. If the book is long, every 50 pages can count as 1 book.

Have a "Book Share" at the beginning of your classtime. Encourage your students to bring in their book(s) for "Show and Tell". They can show everyone a few pictures and tell why they liked that particular book.

Want to offer a little more structure for your students in choosing their outside reading? On the one hand, you can be totally structured--assigning your choice of reading throughout the year for all your students. Another approach is to be partially structured. That is, assign a few of your favorites as required reading for a week or two per quarter (or semester), and then allow your students to fill in the rest of the weeks with their personal choices.
