We've just finished Threshold 6 in Big History, and my students are preparing for their Semester 1 assessments. Does anyone have a good activity to review the thresholds? Brad Vonck Denise Ford Adam Esrig Todd Nussen

This is a link to a Google Slides I use as a fun review game. Individual challenge or team game, so many uses. Make a copy and customize it. You will see flipping through it I have lots of geography embedded too. You can move Slides around or just block from view the ones you want to skip.
Thank you Bryan Dibble ! this will be a lot of fun.
Just give yourself the time to edit and rearrange the slides. Really easy to build your own!
Bryan Dibble LOTS of time!
There are over 400 slides!! Wow. So much to pick and choose from.
Thanks for this great resource.
I noticed a LOT of geography. That's a great addition to what BHP offers on its own.
How do you teach/learn geography in your classroom?
We are heavy on geography department wide. Every kid every grade, every class. After sophomore year it's review for most kids. Seterra, by Geoguessr

Bryan Dibble I am thrilled to see that your school is committed to promoting geo-literacy. Before moving to the U.S., I taught geography exclusively throughout all high school grades, as it is part of the national curriculum in my home country. However, when I came here, I couldn’t find a full-time position as a geography teacher, so I shifted to history, which I also enjoy.
Based on your comment, it seems like this is a school-level decision. Is geo-literacy part of your state curriculum, or is it unique to your department or school?
