Contact Information PERSONALLY, I loved teaching HISTORY/ ELA to my students. A great way to kill “two birds with one stone,” was to have them write a narrative, expository, or creative paper by placing themselves into a certain time period and writing about it. Believe it or not, I enjoyed reading their papers. It always amazed me to see the improvements they made from the beginning of the year, they amazed themselves too. . ✔ This bundle can be used for: ✔ Middle School ✔ Upper Elementary ✔ English Classes ✔ History Classes ✔ SPED Classes Copyright©2016 Deann Marin (Socrates Lantern)
