History lesson plans
History lessons tell one story from the past per lesson, from the pyramids and the Great Wall to the Christmas truce of 1914, the moon landing and the night the Berlin Wall fell. Every course is marked for all levels: the story carries the lesson, and you set the difficulty by how much you ask the student to retell, compare and argue. They suit students who are tired of textbook topics and like a good story.
The first lesson of every course is a full plan you can read here with no signup. The other lessons show an outline.
