100 Warm Ups from US History
One of the best classroom management strategies I have found is to have a warm up activity ready for students immediately upon entering the classroom. Over the past several years, I put together this 100 slide powerpoint of daily warm ups. One is up on the projector every day for my US History classes and usually connects to a lesson we covered the previous day. Each slide is visually engaging, with pictures, cartoons, charts, or quotes from history and connects to state and Common Core Standards.

The full powerpoint is available to download here. Since using these warm ups I have found my students are immediately more engaged and are demonstrating greater comprehension of the material.

Hey, I'm REALLY impressed! These took a lot of time to get together. I love the varied real images from history! And you've got great deeper thinking questions. Your students are lucky to have such a dedicated teacher who obviously loves his topic.
