Teaching history involves making the past relevant and engaging to students. If you're using the growth theory framework - which can involve using skills, tasks, and knowledge that gradually increase in complexity - there are multitude of resources you can utilize for your Grade 7 history class. Here are some of them: 1. **Textbooks and Supplementary Readers:** Depending on your school district, they probably have recommended textbooks. These will often have chapters or modules structured in a way that aligns with the growth theory. 2. **Online Education Platforms:** Websites such as Khan Academy, National Geographic Education, and PBS Learning Media offer resources that can be adapted for different learning levels. 3. **Library of Congress:** Their website offers a variety of primary sources, lesson plans and activities for teaching history. 4. **Lesson Plan Websites:** Websites such as Share My Lesson, Teachers Pay Teachers, and The History Teaching Institute offer a plethora of history lesson plans which you can adapt and structure to fit into your growth theory approach. 5. **Historical Fiction Books:** Reading about history in a narrative format can engage the student's interest while teaching them about the period. You can choose books that are appropriate for the students' grade and reading level. 6. **Documentaries and Film:** Visual resources are valuable tools for teaching history. Pick documentaries or films that are accurate and suitable for your students' age. 7. **Interactive Simulations:** Websites such as iCivics, Mission US, and SHEG (Stanford History Education Group) offer interactive history games and simulations that can provide a unique learning experience for your students. 8. **Connecting with Experts:** Arrange video calls with historians or museum curators. This provides a unique and interactive learning experience for your students. Just remember to choose resources that help students grasp historical concepts and engage them in critical thinking, and build up complexity as they grow in their knowledge and understanding of history.
