Passionate about supporting educators. Building community at Diffit. My name is Ms. Greene and I am a former World History in California.
I believe in creating engaging lessons to help students dive into content knowledge. Here you can find some of the lessons I have made, some of my favorite resources for history, social science, and secondary teachers, and more!
I loved using Crash Course videos in my classroom and so appreciate how well they’ve always understood the challenges teachers face in the classroom. The fact you can either watch these on YouTube for free or download them all is such a bonus! The content is high quality and engaging too!
Got this comment on TikTok and has to keep singing the praises of Retro Report - again not sponsored at all! I just love what they are doing to support classrooms and teachers!

Teachers what tricks do you have for teaching argumentative writing? Share in the comments.
Teachers how do you use thinking maps in your classroom? We know they can be effective tools to help students but when where and how to use is sometimes confusing. Using a bubble map as a exit ticket after a lesson has worked well for me and using more categorical maps like a concept map have also worked well as formative checks. What’s worked for you?

Teachers have you tried a Spotify playlist summary as a way to get students to summarize what’ they’ve learned and make connections? This was one of my favorite strategies when teaching to get students thinking critically and creatively.
History teachers, which strategy do you use for document analysis? I’m a big fan of HAPPY to help students analyze sources but I’m curious what your go to strategy is?! I loved using graphic organizers like these with my students to help keep to process consistent and guide them through the steps until they felt confident. Find these and more in my TpT store!
When I was teaching history I LOVED teaching students how to write DBQs but there are so many steps to the process so using a graphic organizer like this really helped students through the process. Do you teach DBQ writing? Share your tips and tricks in the comments!
