The Comic Notes Experience
With our trademarked and exclusive Comic Notes, you’re not just getting a presentation. You’re unlocking an entire middle school history lesson with graphic organizers, worksheets, answer keys, and more!
To begin with, our innovative approach to teaching history transforms the classroom into a dynamic space. We encourage students to not only absorb information but also actively participate in their learning journey.
Our rigorous middle school history lessons are designed with key concept-based learning in mind. We focus on the “big six” key concepts for social science – GRAPES. Each letter corresponds to a vital aspect of ancient and medieval civilizations:
- G: Geography
- R: Religion
- A: Achievements
- P: Politics/Government/Leadership
- E: Economy
- S: Social Classes
Students learn about various countries and cultures using these fundamental concepts as a guide. In addition, they also gain a deeper understanding of the attributes that allowed civilizations to prosper. This method encourages critical thinking and a holistic comprehension of historical events. Students will absolutely love their middle school history lessons using comic notes!
Comic Resources
Honestly, it is crazy to think about how many years and areas of history students learn about during middle school. Since their brains and bodies constantly change, they must have hands-on activities. This helps keep them engaged and focused while deeply analyzing the material. Luckily, there are plenty of comics lesson plans for middle school!
Specifically, this includes Feudal Japan, Medieval Europe, and Empires of Islam! Every set includes graphic organizers, fill-in-the-blank worksheets, answer keys, and digital files!
