Don't Sleep on the Articles!

Katie Raby

I know a lot of us come to the discussion forum to look for new activities for our classes, but don't forget to check out the articles that OER has posted on each topic. I recently started Unit 6 in AP World History (Imperialism). I ditched the textbook this unit and instead I am having students read and annotate primary and secondary sources. I pulled a TON from OER and my students are loving them! They said they are easier to read and understand compared to the textbook. They're still getting the required info and I'm not having to fight them read it!

  • I'm in the same situation as a bunch of us, I haven't distributed textbooks in years.  All the articles are just posted to my Google Classroom.  Not only are they better reads, I absolutely love the change of Lexile feature.  I change all the the time whether it's based on the class as a whole, the article itself, and event by student (especially for my special ed/504 students). I haven't needed it this year, but last year I used the versions in Spanish as well.
