This Day in US History Bell Ringer w Interactive Journal + Bulletin Board Decor

The Daily American History Bell Ringer Activity and Décor provides U.S. history readings and questions that correspond to the days of March. As warm-ups and interactive journal snippets, the “this day in American history” readings allow students to engage with the most interesting parts of American history before class even begins.

Each day includes a new historical event with a brief passage, one multiple-choice question, and one journaling question. The multiple-choice questions promote literacy skills that are crucial across the curriculum while the journaling questions allow students to critically think about the event and build empathy with historical figures.

Students can explore the daily history nugget through worksheets, short hand-outs, or their interactive journals. This resource also includes three different Power Points that you can display while students work or as an opening discussion piece. Of course, you can also forego the activity and use only the classroom décor pieces! The resource is designed to include as many options as possible so that you can fit the activity to your needs. Plus, EVERY day of the month is included, so you only need to purchase this resource once to use it year after year!

•31 Complete Worksheets
