  4. Valerie – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked the activities, and plan to use these strategies in my 11th grade US History class. I feel like some of the questions need to be updated for the current time (some may lead to sexist discussions among students about traditional women/male roles). But overall – GREAT ideas!!
