I am a primary homeroom teacher who currently teaches in Japan. I have previously taught in England, Korea and Thailand. I have also taught ESL/ELL to primary, middle and high school students. All my materials were written by me and were uploaded as I feel they are worth sharing. I have written a few books (not about teaching) - feel free to check them out (they are cheap!) - Steve Tully - They Say you Can't Judge Me, Work Like an Egyptian, and The Satanic Nurses.

The Industrial Revolution

A simple website research/inquiring challenge - students use the Ducksters website to help answer the questions. First I introduced the topic of the Industrial Revolution (Our unit of study is on Technology so I felt this is an era of history that needs to be taught as it changed our World). I had my class (Grade 3) do this using one Chrome book between 2 but it would work just as well as an individual research activity. The questions were written to not only improve reading skills, but also encourage some deeper thinking of the impact of this significant era in history.

A PowerPoint I made as part of a quiz based on Famous World Monuments. Each monument has a number of clues - students earn more teams points for using fewer clues.

Nina Simone - Listening/discussion activity

A great song from the legend that is Nina Simone. This could be used as a simple listening activity, ideal for music class or practising English listening skills. This comes with an answer sheet for your convenience. The themes covered in the song - racial prejudice, the fight for racial equality, US history, the civil rights movement, the change in language, etc - mean it would be a greater starter to deeper discussions. #blackhistory #civilrights #genderequality #racism #racialequality #socialjustice #blm

Two wonderful songs sang by Nina Simone - both related to black history month and issues of discrimination, racism and inequality. One song - Missisippi Goddam - was very controversial for the time. The lyrics express her anger, especially at recent atrocities committed against black people in some Southern states. at the time. To be free is a classic expressing the desire to have freedom and equality. Both songs allow for listening activities before a wider discussion. These songs and the themes raised in the lyrics are ideal for Black History Month discussions and music and history lessons.
