Teacher Resources Teaching Tip: Famous Heads By: Jacob Pikel, Middle School Social Studies Here is a great idea for the end of the school year. I used the famous head project this year with great success. It can be applied to just about any grade level and/or subject area. The basic premise of the project is that students go on the Internet or other media source to find pictures of famous people included in their studies. Students then cover the picture with a piece of colored construction paper. On the construction paper, the students write at least 5 items that describe the importance of this person. The heads are then passed around the room and other students have to guess who the famous person is. This was a great hit with my students. We used it for review at the end of year as well.

Teacher Inspiration and Humor Inspiring Quote “Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.” — Marva Collins Jokes You Can Tell in Class The child comes home from his first day at school. Mother asks, “What did you learn today?” The kid replies, “Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow.” On the Web Online Teacher Poll How do you plan to spend your summer vacation?
