Global conflicts. Tough calls. Real consequences. These hands-on lessons get students thinking like historians as they explore world history through critical decisions and competing perspectives.

Author Kevin O’Reilly—an experienced, award-winning educator—engages students with rich, thought-provoking lessons that go beyond names and dates. Each one asks students to step into the shoes of people who shaped world history—from monarchs and revolutionaries to merchants and ordinary citizens—and make the difficult choices they once faced.

Lessons are designed for flexibility: use them as full-period deep dives or quick 20–30 minute motivators. Detailed teacher pages

  • provide step-by-step instructions for implementing each lesson;
  • list key vocabulary terms and notable historical figures to review with students;
  • highlight the decision-making skills developed in each activity; and
  • suggest ideas for follow-up discussion.
  • Each lesson also includes three reproducible student handouts:

  • The first clearly lays out the decision-making scenarios.
  • The second provides “outcomes,” describing the decisions that people in the past made.
  • The third presents related primary source readings and/or images accompanied by analysis questions.
  • Students explore events across time and place—from Ancient Rome to modern Africa—and sharpen their ability to think critically, consider multiple points of view, and reflect on how individual decisions shape world history.
