The Accidental Historian
An accidental historian is anyone who discovers the fascination of history. As a social studies teacher, I hope to produce more accidental historians by sharing my love of history with students. Through activities, worksheets, and films, I hope I can expand your history classroom. While most of my products are related to history, I also create virtual classrooms to make distance learning a little bit easier for everyone.
