I liked the activities, and plan to use these strategies in my 11th grade US History class. I feel like some of the questions need to be updated for the current time (some may lead to sexist discussions among students about traditional women/male roles). But overall – GREAT ideas!!

Jeanne – MARION CITY (verified owner) –
I attended a workshop with Carolyn Coil 20+ years ago and got so many fantastic ideas from her way back then, so when I saw that one of my available course options was with her, I was absolutely excited. She is as powerful and amazing today as she was back then. I appreciate how she lets us experience what we would have students experience to gain a better understanding of these tools. Then, reflecting on what we’ve done right afterward is so helpful.
