California Missions and Native American Indians
The California Mission Era — most textbooks in middle school and junior high devote only a few pages or less to this period in American history, and if you want to give your students more, it can be problematical. If students only learn about the missions and the economic benefit they brought to California, they will not know about the damage done to Native American Indians by European invaders. If students focus only on the hardships suffered by Native Americans, they will not have enough infor

Mesopotamia: Origins of Writing Reader's Theater & Discussion
Overview:The reader’s theater is a great way to analyze why people began to create forms of writing.
