- How To Plan Your Social Studies Lessons: We Teach History Ep. 1
Some of the biggest questions I have dealt with when teaching social studies have been related to breadth vs depth of what I am teaching. How long should I teach this topic? Am I teaching too much or too little content? What activities or material makes the cut? It can feel very overwhelming, so this video will share the 5 things to consider to plan your units with ease!

Thank you, very much for your love of teaching history and taking your time for sharing the lessons plans
Great work, loved it! Could you do another video demonstrating how to plan a unit?
This was really helpful for me! I have been teaching 12th grade Social Studies for 20 years and because of cuts, I'm now going to teach 7-12 in an alternative high school! Big lift, and so this video was really informative, and calmed my nerves a bit due to how you outlined the the year, units, and lesson applications. I will definitely be looking for more! Here I am, an experienced teacher and it feels like I'm just starting out!!! We can do this!!!
I am so happy to hear this, Todd! New changes can be nerve-racking, but you can definitely do this! Your experience at the 12th grade level will serve you well, and I think you'll find enjoyment of teaching younger students as well.
Wonderful video! Helpful in my studies on lesson planning. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
This was useful advice; I'm focusing on way too many concepts per unit and I'm finding myself having to constantly rethink the depth of my lessons. I do what you suggested about "filling in the gaps" and I find its helped a lot.
I'm happy to hear that, Daniel! There is no shortage of concepts to cover in any unit, but unfortunately only so much time!

I can completely relate to this! When I first started teaching and had no set curriculum, I also found myself with too many concepts and not enough time---I find that aside from just looking at standards you should also study your final assessments or state tests to see what major themes, skills, and concepts keep coming up. That also gives you a good idea of what to spend a little more time on. That helped a lot!
Any good content, web sites, informative information is welcomed!!! 7-11 grades mostly, since I'm pretty good with 12th. I'm in New York so will be looking at those standards, etc...
Since you mentioned New York, here are some amazing inquiry-based lessons that are organized by grade level: c3teachers.org/ny-inquiry-charts/
We will also be putting together a summer video series in July that covers a lot more resources!
Could you give examples of the types of engaging projects you have done and the content they connect to?
Great question, Marcel! You might like our most recent video where I discuss putting together a sample Ancient Egypt unit plan: ua-cam.com/video/epZ7C1OpqSQ/v-deo.html
hey I'm a new 7th grade teacher for Social studies in Philly I could use the help on planning and power points
Great video!
Thank you, Erik!
