I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and I try to make my resources have real-world applications whenever possible. These resources will not only engage your learners, but they'll save you time, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

This Titanic timeline activity is a hands-on way to trace the story of the Titanic from when it was being built, through to the detailed events of the sinking, up to the time the wreck was discovered.

Option one – match the pictures and descriptions to the dates and times.
Option two – write the missing date or time and match the pictures and descriptions.
Answer key is included

Children colour in the Titanic halves or use the pre-coloured version of the Titanic halves.
Option one – match the pictures to the descriptions, dates, and times.
Option two – match the descriptions to the pictures, dates, and times.
Option three – write the dates and times and match the pictures to the descriptions.
3. Digital Google™ Slide
Drag and drop the events onto the timeline.
Children will be able to work out the order of the events through logic and by using some of the clues given to help them.
I hope your students enjoy learning about the Titanic as they make their timelines.

There have been many forms of cuneiform over time, and if your students are learning about Ancient Mesopotamia or Ancient Sumer, it’s always fun to try an ancient form of writing.
This printable pack comes with two activities, each with different options.
In activity one, students can:
write the script next to the symbols, in the boxes given, or on their own paper.
copy over the symbols.
In activity two, students can:
write their name and decode “Cradle of Civilization”.
write their name and decode “Pottery Wheel”.
extension – students can use the symbols to write their own word or message.
U.S. and U.K. versions included.

This 3D model ziggurat is a great hands-on craft to make if you are studying Mesopotamia or Ancient Sumer. The craft is differentiated with two versions so you can use what suits your students best.
The finished size is about 4in x 5in (10cm x 12cm).
The simpler version has two main pieces to join, plus steps. The more complex version has four main pieces that make the four layers of the ziggurat, plus steps.
If you’re after more hands-on Ancient Sumer activities, you may like the pack which includes this writing activity, or the bundle which includes this writing activity and a 3D ziggurat model.

This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of the Great Fire of London in order. I’ve included the actions of Samuel Pepys in the timeline because it’s interesting, such as his priority to bury wine and cheese (which seems odd to us now, but they would have been very expensive items back then), and because he was a significant figure at the time who left a valuable primary source detailing the event.
There are two options to choose from:
Worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue events next to the dates (easier option) or write dates and glue events on (harder version).
Foldable timeline – glue events below the dates and pictures.
I’ve included a set of clues to help children put the events in order, if needed. These can be cut up or left as is.
You will receive 4 PDFs and 3 editable PPTX files (text is editable, images/layout aren’t).

Inspire your students with this pack of 6 posters about Martin Luther King Jr., who was a man of great character and an exceptional orator whose words inspired many during his lifetime and continue to be a source of inspiration for us today.
I chose the quotes on these posters because they have the potential to motivate our students to have good character and to do good in the world. As such, they would make a great starting point for a discussion around ways to make the world a better place, small acts of kindness that make a difference, or dreams they might have for their future.
These would look great in the hallway or on a classroom or office door.
What’s included?
One portrait poster
Five posters with quotes
Color (bright, boho, neutrals, 70s vibe) and ink saver versions (“I have a dream” poster is ink saver only)
1 per page, and 2 per page so you can choose the size you like best
