10 Ideas for Teaching History to Middle Schoolers

I am thinking about writing a history.  And I find myself wishing I'd learned more about history in my school days, so long ago.  With a middle schooler at home, I decided to search the internet for ideas about teaching middle school history.  I have friends who know far more about this than I do, but still, I had fun putting it together... The slides below summarize what I found.  For better readability, just click on the slide for an expanded version.
