1st Timer of Big History Project Teaching Looking to Launch August 2025

Torin Warner

Hello Educators!

This will be my first year teaching the Big History Project, and I’m planning to use it for my 6th grade Social Studies class. I'm reaching out to this amazing community to ask for a little help and guidance as I get started.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  1. Does anyone have student-facing slide decks—especially for Lesson 1, Unit 1? I’d love to see a folder with a slide deck that includes learning objectives and clear instructions for student tasks.
  2. Is anyone willing to share supplemental materials such as grading rubrics, assessments, or other helpful resources?
  3. Would anyone be open to giving me a quick crash course on teaching this curriculum—maybe a short Zoom call (30–60 minutes)? I’d really appreciate any tips, strategies, or insight from those who’ve taught this before.

To summarize: I’m looking for slide decks, teaching materials, and any advice you're willing to share. Please feel free to reach out—I'd be so grateful for the support!

Thanks so much in advance! (also folks- this would be soo much easier in discord!)

    Welcome Torin Warner to this wonderfulf community of dedicated teachers! It is very excited to learn that you are going to dive into Big History, a fabulous curriculum that has excellent rapport with my students. 

    Here is the first unit slide deck I use including videos and visuals. The OER contains many resources for you to choose, adapt, and taylor to our your own needs.

    During this weekend I will share with you guidance for projects and rubrics that work well with my students. Let me know if you have any questions.
