Skip That French and Indian War Summary!

The hardest thing about teaching Social Studies and American History is that, sometimes, the content can be dry, and it is difficult to come up with engaging activities that aren’t your standard written summaries and worksheets. We’re working hard to help you out of that jam by creating templates and other resources to help you teach your content!
