Right on! Tap into personal angle as part of your topic for the day. And story telling, yup, as part of one mode of delivery of content, instead of always reading text. Awesome... keep this channel going. 26 years in the classroom - this is it.

I’m not a teacher but my teacher lost a bet and now I get to teach 7th period. My history class. I’m super excited because I want to make it super entertaining and let them learn at the same time. THANKS!

Your class is my favorite... that's five words. All in good fun. Thanks for the tips. Now, where's my Gutenberg plushie?

Great tips, especially storytelling. After watching your video, I changed the order of a story I tell when teaching the Constitutional Convention. Moving the story to the beginning of the lesson for a memorable/dramatic effect. Thank you!

One teacher of mine in the previous semester told us that he finds it fascinating how school can make a person hate knowledge. The same spieces that wants to always learn more and more, since the dawn of time. And it is kinda sad because such amazing topics are not dealt with fairly

And for the game part, YES, non formal education can be so beneficial, even if it is done through formal education

Do you have a list of games that you find useful or effective? I'm teaching middle school in an underserved district, but am trained as a HS Social Studies teacher.

Fabulous video! Great tips and very well presented.

Your ideas seem like good ones, but they're vague and not especially helpful to me as presented in these videos. It would be much more helpful to give specific examples from actual lessons so I can fully understand what you mean and compare that with what I already do/fail to do.
