@historycomics Kilt? #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:09 PM EST

#sstlap No idea why I'm here, or where I'm from. strike that not getting my Secret-treasure. I'd use a black hole and maybe a supernova.

golliharsclass Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

#sstlap my wedding ring and a @moleskine journal.

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

Apple for teaching 30 years, family tree cause family is everything. Plus my cross necklace. That's three. #rulebreaker. 😜 #sstlap

Meems852 Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

Two artifacts would be a picture of my family and either one of my nerdy history mugs or my laptop w all my lessons on it! #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

Probably my passport and patriots jersey #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:12 PM EST

A cook book and suitcase #sstlap

Meems852 Feb 25 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 Bravery and perseverance! I do believe these ideals are still necessary for students today #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1) More interested in greater good than what is good for him/her as an individual. Doing what's right rather than what's popular. #sstlap

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 a history hero is a real imperfect person - like MLK - hero worship is not good for anyone - unrealistic expectations #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:14 PM EST

#sstlap Think Boy Scout traits with a little dark side thrown in. Adventure, excitement, fear. Yet knowing everything will be alright. A1.

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 we succeed despite our issues - that's what makes heroes #sstlap

agoodin1 Feb 25 @ 9:15 PM EST

#sstlap Q1 Courage, Honesty, Empathy, and Creativity. :)

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1: Trait of doing what is right---even though you may lose your life for it! #abelincoln #sstlap #playlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:15 PM EST

@CHitch94 @jedikermit Is it, or is it starting what's right as an indiv. but growing into the former? #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 25 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1. Kindness, compassion, charisma, goal driven #sstlap

scottmpetri Feb 25 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 Love using Toussaint Louverture as a hero of the Haitian Revolution, but can a black slave owner be a hero? #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 Heroes are inquisitive about the world around them and push the limits #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

Do our students have these traits? Do they recognize them? #sstlap (not Q2, just wonderin')

Jdalgety22John Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

Bravery comes to mind. Selflessness would be another. #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

I'm with @historycomics on this one. The flawed, imperfect, everyday hero. Any/all can accomplish this - just need a camera nearby #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

@historycomics @jedikermit This trumps everything. #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:16 PM EST

@mrterborg @historycomics pun? #sstlap

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

@scottmpetri great topic! Like Jefferson. Or Nat Turner - hero of murderer? (I say hero) #sstlap

jmadlin001 Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

Two artifacts...chocolate and my SU coffee mug. #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

@mrterborg @jedikermit Well, yeah. I think it's rare or impossible for someone to just start out a hero. #sstlap

golliharsclass Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

#sstlap A1: perseverance, innovation, empathy, knowledge and creativity. Yes we want these traits in our students.

mhoeckelman Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1 or ruthless aggression, what's best for business, and take no prisoners #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

1b: I think they see it in others, not so much themselves just yet. All about encouraging the potential #sstlap

mrruzicka Feb 25 @ 9:17 PM EST

Two objects to tell my life story... Tough! My Marquette rugby jersey and mismatched pair of shoes - one my wifes, one mine #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q2: In your curriculum... #sstlap https://t.co/IMm9yz0CEF

jshoja Feb 25 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1: Important "hero" characteristics: Resilience, trustworthiness, selflessness, morality #sstlap

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1 students love seeing real weaknesses in their heroes #sstlap

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:18 PM EST

Ability to stick to ones beliefs, compassion and imperfections. yes I believe my students posses this #sstlap

acottos Feb 25 @ 9:19 PM EST

#sstlap a1: passion, determination, consistency.

scottmpetri Feb 25 @ 9:19 PM EST

@historycomics Yep. Get's kids talking about values & definitions of what makes a hero. https://t.co/AQxp61Utnf #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 25 @ 9:19 PM EST

@historycomics @scottmpetri What about John Brown....... Hero or crazy man #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2) Nelson Mandela, Jewish partisans in Warsaw ghetto, Tank Man from Tiananman Square. #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1b: I believe my teacher candidates would do what's right for their students!! Stand up for what you know is right! 👍🏼😊 #sstlap #playlap

STLinOK Feb 25 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: <3 the nameless guys that have a "moment". Ex - today I portrayed an av Br Intel officer who realizes he had the Zimmerman note #sstlap

#sstlap https://t.co/EXLkTjMXDS

sarahdateechur Feb 25 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 F. We usually only get one narrative told in history. Recognizing the contributions of various cultures paints a clearer pic #reg5chat

golliharsclass Feb 25 @ 9:21 PM EST

@jedikermit A2: #sstlap Davy Crockett, William B. Travis, Bessie Coleman, Audie Murphy...to name a few. #TexasHistory, son.

mrjeffreystout Feb 25 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 Regular Joes in extreme situations. #sstlap #eduu551

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:21 PM EST

@scottmpetri @mhoeckelman @historycomics are crazy and hero mutually exclusive? #sstlap #AskingForAFriend

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 Queen Elizabeth and Joan of Arc and Mary Seacole and Olympe de Gouges #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: ED majors...pay attention to these answers! May be on your MTLE test! 👍🏼😊😳 #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:22 PM EST

Late to the shindig #sstlap crew. Andy from NC, world history. Artifacts probably my soccer & Cardinals jerseys from my classroom

jshoja Feb 25 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: Give students voice and choice - Who do you think we should celebrate as a "hero" and why? #sstlap

acottos Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

#sstlap a2: Hamilton, Dawes, LaFayette, lesser known historical figures...the everyday people who made sacrifices...relatable figures.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q3 Thinking beyond the big names... #sstlap https://t.co/IyqkJPRtYJ

jmadlin001 Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

A1 Hard work, perseverance, which Ss absolutely need today. #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

Alexander the Great is one of my favs. What he was able to accomplish and the legacy he had was amazing. #sstlap

TomQuentin Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

First timer to #sstlap. New teacher teaching grade 10 constitutional studies

mrjeffreystout Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

@CHitch94 #sstlap #eduu551 perfect example of regular guy in extreme situation making history

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

@amcrowe5 Welcome Andy! #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

Joan of Arc is another favorite! #sstlap

agoodin1 Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

#SSTLAP A2. Cesar Chavez, Fred Korematsu, Mary Tinker, Alvin York, Elizabeth Eckford, Harlem H Fighters. RICH heritage! So many!!

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:23 PM EST

Great answer -- telling students who their heroes are never ends well. :) #sstlap https://t.co/jUU4VMtGkn

jshoja Feb 25 @ 9:22 PM EST

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

@TomQuentin Welcome Tom! #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3) So many in civil rights movement: Daisy Bates & Little Rock Ss, kids who filled jails in Birmingham, etc. #sstlap

Jdalgety22John Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2 I try to show my Ss that all these people were real like us but they had or did something amazing, strong, crazy etc! #sstlap

johuegel Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

Joanna from WI-6th grade teacher. Sorry so late! Tshirt collection (everyone needs shirts from 9th grade right?!?) and my Kindle. #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 Mary Seacole is my favorite left out of history books person. But I assign mini research projects to do in depth when I can't #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:25 PM EST

#sstlap Tim Cook - iPhone saga. Right or Wrong, standing up for privacy.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:25 PM EST

Civil Rights Movement is one of my favorite examples of this. So many stories to tell, so personal. #sstlap https://t.co/QIuRDZCsYO

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3) So many in civil rights movement: Daisy Bates & Little Rock Ss, kids who filled jails in Birmingham, etc. #sstlap

acottos Feb 25 @ 9:25 PM EST

#sstlap a3: give students a list of characters and ask for a brief presentation to be completed of one of them. Hands on and interactive.

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: Lots of others in world like doing speed dating activities, helps cover more than just big names. Do for exploration/renaissance #sstlap

mrjeffreystout Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3 William T Sherman. Hero to some, villain to others. #sstlap #eduu551

jshoja Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: Anyone drive the NJ Turnpike - Lots of rest stops named after "heroes" - an interesting lesson idea. #sstlap https://t.co/Bzp97jZLfV

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

#sstlap - Oh, I teach library media in the elementary school here in Maryland (somewhere. Still not giving specifics - my precious.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

What format are the projects in? Love doing this too. #sstlap https://t.co/mY7DgYshvI

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 Mary Seacole is my favorite left out of history books person. But I assign mini research projects to do in depth when I can't #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3. Stonewall Jackson, Sherman, Sheridan, Patton, Alvin York, Meade just to name a few #sstlap

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

@agoodin1 have you read .... #sstlap https://t.co/kufDrmod5w

doodlinmunkyboy Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

@jedikermit Consider the value in a discussion in which you create a class definition of a hero. Build a collective understanding. #sstlap

Chucktaft Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

#sstlap can't do the CRM without Emmit Till

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2 think others have said the flawed characters, like the rise of Genghis Khan, Qin & Napoleon, great yet troubled leaders #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 when there are multiple "minor players," I'll often have a list of characters and have Ss make trading cards or action figures #sstlap

scottmpetri Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 Haven't taught US Hist in years. Love having Ss learn about little known heroes. https://t.co/N4URG1DhwN #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

@Chucktaft And his mom who insisted on the open casket to show the world what was happening. #sstlap

historycomics Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

@jedikermit when students lead mini presentations in groups of four - they don't need to know everything - more about exposure #sstlap

doodlinmunkyboy Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

@jedikermit Saw this in my feed & wanted to respond from experience... not all heroes are heroes! #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: In my Child Lit class & SS Methods class, we talk about Henry Box Brown!! Henry's Freedom Box---GREAT book!!! #sstlap

burgessdave Feb 25 @ 9:28 PM EST

@Chucktaft #truethat, Chuck! #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:28 PM EST

Constantine was big one, but I liked looking at Diocletian, debate whether his decision to split Rome was good or bad #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 many of these "smaller" characters have picture books or other smaller books on their lives/achievements, could do lit circles #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 #sstlap who are our modern heroes and why? What can students relate to in their generation? Past important need to know roots but still.

mrjeffreystout Feb 25 @ 9:28 PM EST

@jedikermit #sstlap #eduu551 I like that idea.

scottmpetri Feb 25 @ 9:29 PM EST

@TomQuentin Cool. I grew up in NH. Love that New England self-determination. My CA Ss need a Puritan work ethic. #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 25 @ 9:29 PM EST

Some of my favs for showing that grey area between genius & just crazy. Oh, & Ivan the Terrible (puppies!) #sstlap https://t.co/QDRscTQ8J0

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2 think others have said the flawed characters, like the rise of Genghis Khan, Qin & Napoleon, great yet troubled leaders #sstlap

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:29 PM EST

I met a real live hero Japp Penrat. Rescuer from Holland. Forging Freedom #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:29 PM EST

@mrterborg Great way to connect past to present & Ss lives. What do past & present heroes have in common, how differ, & why? #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 a few yrs ago I started having students design action figures based on historic characters; the next few Qs will be based on that #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:30 PM EST

@STLinOK Ivan's definitely another one. APWH brings out so many that get passed over, but are fascinating & not always in good way #sstlap

beachtheteacher Feb 25 @ 9:30 PM EST

@kiddielitprof I had my husband recreate a box crate and have Ss get into it (if they choose). Powerful!!! #sstlap

burgessdave Feb 25 @ 9:31 PM EST

I LOVE talking to students about John Brown. Talk about a historical freak! Kids love the stories and of course I play the song! #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:31 PM EST

#sstlap Does the sheer # of things, devices, activity impact the ability to create heroes? How much brain / reflective time does one need?

Jdalgety22John Feb 25 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3 every unit has a"somebody" we need to spend time on. That's what makes social studies/ history awesome #thesomebodies #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:31 PM EST

Hello Captain @burgessdave!! 👋🏽✌🏼️See you very soon!! 😄 #excited #sstlap

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:31 PM EST

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:32 PM EST

@jedikermit #sstlap have you used @AUGTHAT or other VR tool to connect the action figures to online info or student created stories?

beachtheteacher Feb 25 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3: my Ss research the "minors" too see the BIG roles themselves. Some choose minors for their "American History Idol" project #sstlap

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:33 PM EST

@beachtheteacher I've found that talking about "minors" age-wise also helps them make connections & see selves in history. #sstlap

kiddielitprof Feb 25 @ 9:34 PM EST

@burgessdave Doing the best I can. So far it is looking fabulous for a Minnesota March day!! 👍🏼😊 #sstlap #tlap https://t.co/oNNwxTYyiF

#sstlap Think #primarysources they work wonders in the classroom. See @SILibraries https://t.co/hsLy6HRvyK and others.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

Essentially Ss are creating the "cardback" -- the cardboard that the action figure is sold on. Includes pic, bio, artifacts, etc #sstlap

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

My students can't get enough of Malala. Maybe it is the teenage aspect or what she did #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4a Alexander the Great, wearing armor and with his horse...... Of course. #sstlap

mrjeffreystout Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 Les Paul. Of course he would have his guitar accessory included. #eduu551 #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:36 PM EST

@beachtheteacher #sstlap Almost every major has a minor or was a minor. Possible that Ss relate to minors better than majors.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:36 PM EST

I love Phillip Hoose's We Were There Too for this....great book #sstlap https://t.co/0T0TLsL173

#sstlap Is it harder to create a hero when we're as interconnected as we are? Harder to develop those individual traits? - against grain

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:37 PM EST

They love stop motion -- LEGO works great for it too. #sstlap https://t.co/rCesJs5XMi

@CHitch94 I love the @TheCrashCourse vids, not sure Ss appreciate them as much as I do, humor might be lost #sstlap

#sstlap a4: I'd design an action figure for local historical figures. Have Ss learn about people who made a change within their own area.

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:46 PM EST

@jedikermit #sstlap I couldn't survive without Google Earth and pro. So much you can do. It can work for almost (literally) every lesson/sub

A5) Yes. Think it makes history & historical figures more real. Goodness knows we hear about all the warts for public figures today. #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 25 @ 9:50 PM EST

@jedikermit ha, wifi tower not included. It can come with the sacking of Baghdad playset. Why they traveled so far, needed a signal #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:50 PM EST

#sstlap A5 Yes, I say again yes. Research shows ppl learn best through stories. Heroes are (a port) key.

jedikermit Feb 25 @ 9:50 PM EST

Great idea, give them some examples ala GI Joe from the 80s, maybe a tune... #sstlap https://t.co/kyWxeI3jV8

@mhoeckelman Thanks Matt! Have a great night! #sstlap

LoisKlukkert Feb 25 @ 9:51 PM EST

Part of what makes someone a hero is their humanness, so I think we'll always have room for them. #sstlap

acottos Feb 25 @ 9:51 PM EST

#sstlap a5: definitely a place. Even though more challenges are around, Ss need to see heroes are present and make a difference!

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:56 PM EST

#sstlap A6 I don't think so. I think we want to villanize them so people don't turn out lie them.

CHitch94 Feb 25 @ 9:56 PM EST

@jedikermit Is MLK most recent memorial added? Also interesting about controversies surrounding memorials (Viet Wall, MLK quote) #sstlap

mrterborg Feb 25 @ 9:57 PM EST

A6 Of course, we could villanize them because we want to make our Ss and populace conform to a certain set of morays/als.#sstlap

A6 #eduu551 #sstlap In the best stories the villain is the most complex & interesting character. The Hero couldn't be defined without him.

Final Q for #sstlap https://t.co/t3b6EZlsfU

jshoja Feb 25 @ 9:59 PM EST

A6: We can learn from the mistakes of others so teach about the "villains" too - what could they have done differently? new effect? #sstlap
