Overview: Chapter 4 of Dr. Cantu's book provides several pages of instructional strategies for engaging students in the classroom. Much of the chapter is in a list format, providing brief explanations of each of the learning techniques or strategies being presented. Graphic organizers are also given a great deal of space, with a large compendium of examples or formats provided. There are several great resources in this chapter, which I discuss in greater detail in the screencast.

Big Question: How can we provide students with a schema for learning history/social studies?
Interactive Site: I chose the interactive quiz site Kahoot for my interactive site. This easy to use, quiz-style learning site is fun for students and an easy way to help them review basic information in a way that is interactive. There is also an element of competition in Kahoot. Depending on your students, this may be a benefit or a hindrance, so knowing your students is (as always) key to implementation.
