Social Studies Skill Builders
When the pandemic began, my oldest began learning at home: first, by me (and sort of his school) then full-time via virtual school that was conducted by his school district.

Warrior and Rain Queens
When I decided to create the African Queens series, I began with two areas that I knew: Egypt and Nubia. I knew of one Nubian kandake and a handful of Egyptian queens. I like that advice. Start with what you know. Researching Nubia led me down a research rabbit hole that led to gathering names…

Build-a-cartouche: An Ancient Egypt Add-on Activity
Cartouches are cool. They are mysterious, make fun decoding activities, and are a great way to add an activity to an Ancient Egypt unit. Regardless of the grade level you teach, your students will have a great time building their own cartouche. The cartouche is the circle-like shape that surrounds a name written in hieroglyphics.…

Queen Seondeok Short Read
Queen Seondeok was Queen regnant of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. She is also ignored in Asian history classes and world history classes (at least here in the US) and that needs to be corrected. Queen Seondeok lived from c. 595-610 – 647 and ruled Silla for 15 years. She is remembered…
