❄️ As Winter Break approaches we prepare for midterms! How do you like to infuse historical thinking skills in your cumulative reviews?
📑 Cumulative reviews are tricky because it is easy to only focus on the mass of content students need to remember for the exam. However, we know that summative exams should be more than just content, as our goals should be to asses critical thinking as well in a skills-based classroom.
✍️ Not only do reviews infused with historical thinking skills help students remember more content, but they prepare them for a higher caliber of assessment! Please share your experience and ideas!
