A History Teaching Toolbox: Terrific Resource

Russell Tarr, a history teacher in France, just published a book with terrific resources for history teachers. The resources are grouped by skill.

For example, if you want to teach your students how to make comparisons or judgements, you can learn a number of different activities that enhance that skill.

Some of the other categories include debate and discussion, group work, and essay skills.

One of my favorites is hexagon learning. Students get hexagons with key information and have to organize it into categories of their own choice.

Tarr provides an example with a case study of Stalin. He put together a list of the factors that led to Stalin's rise and generated 40 hexagons using a digital "hexagon generator" he developed.

You can develop your own hexagons using his generator here at his site, Classroom Tools.
Tarr's "History Teaching Toolkit" is a great resource with a lot of novel ideas.

Well, I think that it can be very handy for teachers. It’s good to have an opportunity to find the necessary resources quickly and it’s good that there are grouped by skills. I think that for teachers it’s very important to keep all their educational resources in order so they can quickly find what they need. At the same time, for students it’s important to get quality knowledge from their teachers. It can help them to get a good job in the future. However, I’d recommend to pay attention to such helpful tool like best resume writing services NYC. With a help of this service you can order quality and professional resume writing.

Thank you! It`s a very good method to teach a students history or philosophy or another subject. Students can easy member basic concepts. My neighbor told me what her daughter use some method like this. But some times she take a consultation of professionals for writing essay or another writing homework on this page. She open this page and start search a consultation or help for writing her work.

Not so long ago, essay writing required many hours of sitting in a library, studying multiple sources of information, and then rewriting the text by hand. Now, of course, the task is facilitated by the ability to find information on the Internet and just copying it, but to look for this information, and structuring and proofreading text, still takes time. In addition, considering the abundance of data on the worldwide web, you can’t always be sure of information's authenticity. https://rocketpaper.net/buy-essay-online
