Using several Interact titles throughout the year in 7th grade
On July 7th, Sue Connelly posted:
I am a 7th grade world history teacher in NH and I use the Crusades section of the Middle Ages interact program. I have used it for 3 years
and my students create their crusader helms and wear them as they pass
the map quest with a champion and then work together to win the crusades
simulation race which I project on to the white board. I haven't used
all of the interact packages that I have purchased yet, but want to add
more. My students absolutely love this simulation. I have purchased
Martin Luther and Galileo but haven't used them yet. I start my year
with the Fall of the Roman Empire and use Caesar's Death as a Readers
Theater and integrate music and reading plays often to engage drama in
the classroom. As I cover the fall of Rome, the curriculum moves into
Byzantium, Christianity, and Islam. Then the crusades are covered,
followed by the Renaissance and Reformation. Then we wrap up the year
with Explorer's. I was just looking at the Explorer's Unit and wondering
how I can use it.
I do love the interact programs and used Japan and China when I taught
6th grade. Any other resources that are related to my curriculum would
be wonderful to know about. Thanks! Sue
