Book Review:
Persida Himmele
Sold by: LLC
$18.73
This is a teacher friendly book that lays out some new and tried and tested techniques that will help your students become active learners and to think more deeply. It is for all subjects but has some good Historical thinking ideas too. I recommend this book for a new or an old teacher like me who wants to learn some great techniques to inspire and engage your students.
