The HistoraEDU Curriculum Ecosystem: What We Offer
At HistoraEDU, we build classroom-ready tools for grades 6–12 designed for real classrooms with real constraints. Our resources help students move from memorizing history to investigating it, while saving teachers serious planning time.
Simulations & Narrative Units
Narrative-driven learning experiences -through our Journey Through History™ activities- guide students through historical eras, events, and themes using storytelling and structured exploration. These lessons build the background knowledge and context students need to understand not just what happened—but why it matters.
Inquiry Investigations
Check out our History Under Trial™ lessons. Evidence-based investigations where students analyze primary and secondary sources, evaluate perspectives, and construct claims using historical reasoning. These lessons embed inquiry directly into instruction rather than treating it as an add-on.
Review Games & Test Prep
Low-prep, structured review games that reinforce key content and vocabulary while keeping students actively engaged—without turning review days into chaos. Designed to support retention, formative assessment, and whole-class participation.
Gamified Review Missions
Rather than relying on worksheets or unstructured games, HistoraEDU units include structured review experiences that emphasize synthesis and application. Activities such as Review Expeditions™ Mission-style, gamified review experiences that push students to synthesize learning and apply skills in collaborative or independent challenges.
Core Lessons
Structured lessons, skill practice, and classroom-ready supports that form the instructional backbone of HistoraEDU units. These resources ensure clarity, pacing, and accessibility across diverse classrooms with varied reading levels and technology access.
Full-Curriculum Units
Comprehensive, classroom-ready history units that function as complete instructional ecosystems. Each Unit Experience integrates narrative instruction, inquiry lessons, structured review, differentiation, and student-ready content—so you can teach with depth without piecing together lessons from multiple sources.
