Hi Lindsey!
Visuals will probably help a lot.
You could try TimeLine charts - available from teacher supply stores, or you can make your own - and put relevant pictures at critical, important dates. Use charts as well, to show interactions amongst different groups, and maps (especially history maps). Also, as many Primary children's history books - the ones with loads of pictures - as you can lay your hands on.
Good luck!!
Any suggestions for teaching world history to students recently arrived in the U.S. with absolutely no background in English and zero English fluency? I translate for some of the students who speak spanish, but i have student who recently arrived in Thailand. I know use visuals- but I have been giving him individual lesson plans to describe the pictures (which he does using a thai translation machine). Any ideas for different activities would be appreciated!
