Our world is getting smaller all the time. A little more than five hundred years ago, the two hemispheres of the world didn’t even know of each other’s existence. Now we can communicate with almost any place on earth instantly and travel almost anywhere in a few hours, and events that take place thousands of miles away affect our lives profoundly. It is more important than ever for your students to know about the entire globe, not just about their tight-knit community or hometown.

There are so many ways to make the classroom a creative and enthralling place for your students. In my classroom, I always took different forms of art as well as different subject areas and incorporated them into the history class. For example, students can write plays of important events in history and act them out. This activity combines English (writing skills), drama (preparing for and presenting the play), and art (costumes and props). Music is also a fantastic way to study World History. The different forms, melodies, and instruments all tell a story. Reading relevant literature or watching a film based on historical events is also extremely advantageous. I could go on and on with examples, but the point is that these diverse and creative ways to teach, ignite student imagination and keeps them engaged.

The following units of study all contain worksheets, assignments, projects, study guides, tests, and ideas to help you bring your history class to life. Every unit also contains at least one PowerPoint presentation for you to teach with. The first four resource-packed units are absolutely free and ready to download and print. However, because of the amount of work and care that goes into creating these resources, units beginning with Ancient India can be ordered from our Custom Created page.
