Qatar History and Citizenship is a compulsory subject for any primary school teacher in Qatar. When I taught this subject in Qatar, I was surprised to discover how thin the student text book was, how little resources were available for students on the Internet and that there was no teacher guide to help teachers effectively teach this subject. Each of these Yearly teaching packs contain lesson plans and additional worksheets to support 39 weekly lessons. These lessons cover all a student needs to know about the subject, and the lessons are designed to motivate and excite a student's interest in the history around them. These worksheets could be printed out and used as workbooks in the classroom, sent home as additional homework or shared via an interactive whiteboard. *** Please note that these resources are designed to be used with the official text book, not as a replacement. ***

Remember 9/11 is a presentation showing the towers before, during and after the event. It captures some of the drama and will be an excellent focal point for any teacher wanting to talk about this event in a balanced way. It would also make an excellent backdrop for an assembly. I have added a presentation showing you how to use photo flashcards for 31 different teaching activities in the classroom and also a set of writing prompts to encourage the children to describe the events more creatively. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different actions being shown in each of photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Remembering 9/11. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different groupings. The students can then discuss what they think each one was saying or thinking. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

I found the book A LITTLE Catechism, WITH LITTLE VERSES, AND LITTLE SAYINGS, FOR Little Children, printed for John Lawrence at the Angel in the Poultrey, 1692. I thought wouldn't it be fun to mix these old saying with some modern images. I converted the book into a set of three presentations to make it easy for a teacher to share and discuss them with the class. It is a nice way of seeing what ideas have endured the tests of time, and which ideas would now be considered a shocking idea. This is also a nice insight into what people believed in the Middle Ages.
