Porco's History Playground

Average Rating3.88
(based on 6 reviews)

I'm a big believer that History lessons should do three things: 1) Challenge - which is why my lessons feature controversial and challenging key enquiry questions to drive your student's learning. The onus is always on the student to do the work. 2) Get personal - which is why my lessons are always source-based - let's get to the meat of the question and the real issues, not teacher-supplied summaries. 3) Prepare - which is why my lessons feature exam questions prominently.
