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

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!)

    OER project shared with me all the readings and activities for Big History; But they are all individual docx. files, so i had to print each individually for my own hard copies to start going over. I did figure it out though if anyone does want a monster pdf of all the readings for unit 1 for lexile level bellow 1080.
