Meeting the Needs of Today’s Learners

In today’s quickly changing landscape, it has never been more important to critically evaluate information, communicate effectively, and to consider other peoples’ perspectives. At Unfold History,we believe these are learned skills that should be developed early to help students succeed. Each episode is accompanied by curriculum that fosters these skills.

Recognizing that students learn differently, our curriculum offers activities in multiple modalities designed to tap into students’ strengths while allowing them options for demonstrating their learning.

Our educator created curriculum encourages students to move beyond passive learning and memorization. Students will engage with history on a deeper level, using discussion, creativity, research, problem-solving, art, and hands-on experiences, which helps them build deeper understanding and stronger personal connections to the past.

By incorporating opportunities for critical thinking, collaboration, STEM integration, perspective-taking, and creative expression, the NCSS standards-aligned curriculum supports a wide range of learning styles and strengths. This variety keeps students engaged while developing real-world skills such as communication, empathy, analytical thinking, and adaptability.

Designed for 2nd-5th grades, our unique approach is easily adaptable for older students. 

Rather than simply learning about history, students experience it, explore it, question it, and connect it to the world they live in today.

Helping Students Build Connections 

To help make history meaningful and relevant, each episode includes engaging activities that cross all subject areas. This allows educators and parents to customize the learning experience. We also include helpful links to additional resources to enhance the learning experience and save valuable time. Activity categories include:

Talk About It

Question prompts that move beyond rote memorization. Students are challenged to think critically, consider ways beliefs and experiences influence decision-making, and explore how the past continues to shape the world today.

Imagine It

Activities that encourage perspective-taking, empathy, and imaginative thinking through discussion, collaboration, creative writing, art, and other forms of self-expression that help students connect personally with the past. 

Investigate It

Projects that develop skills in research,  problem-solving, and STEM-based activities, incorporating science, technology, engineering, math, and scientific thinking. 

Draw It

Creative activities that allow students to demonstrate understanding through art, visual storytelling, mapping, sketching, and other hands-on artistic expression. 

Do It

Hands-on, kinesthetic activities that help students actively engage with history through building, role-playing, simulations, challenges, and interactive experiences that strengthen connections to the learning material.

To assist parents and educators in identifying which of the national social studies standards are being met with Unfold History’s curriculum, the themes that correspond with each lesson are listed on the lesson plan. For example, (NCSS 1, 3).
