This is an archive of the lessons I created to be used by teachers, parents, and students during remote learning.
I began teaching where I left off chronologically in my student teaching, with the Erie Canal. I continue chronologically and thematically through the curriculum, posting one lesson per day. The unit I created for remote learning was about Westward Expansion.
I also decided to add in a unit called the COVID-19 Time Capsule. Students should spend a week on this project collecting primary sources about COVID-19.
Please also note that each Friday was a "Friday Funday" lesson.
