A2: Ignite my passion by hanging out with and listening to students. Ignite students' passion by showing mine. Love what I do! 😊 #sstlap

cheffernan75 Mar 31 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 to get Ss passionate, you have to make whatever you're talking about relevant to THEIR lives! Show them why they should care! #sstlap

hohmsclass Mar 31 @ 9:17 PM EDT

One of my students recently said, literally, "thank God for primary sources"... haha funny on a few levels but true! #sstlap

@kiddielitprof totally agree - you can't get Ss passionate about your class of they don't think your care about them! #sstlap

hohmsclass Mar 31 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@Braz74 Do it! You won't regret it. #sstlap

scottmpetri Mar 31 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Borrowing lessons from other Ts in PLN is key. Not many at school site share the love for experimentation #sstlap

Meems852 Mar 31 @ 9:18 PM EDT

historytechie Mar 31 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Getting to know Ss and creating a comfortable class setting helps to get them fired up along with hooks & getting crazy w/history #sstlap

A3 NEVER be afraid to say "I don't know." Show Ss that you are learning with them! #sstlap

hohmsclass Mar 31 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3. Compiling primary source readers on topic, reading and analyzing--discussing, critiquing, etc. Kids can agree, disagree. #sstlap

MGrundel Mar 31 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Learning is messy both literally and metaphorically. Have Ss recreate content through passion projects #sstlap https://t.co/iJ2c7UB5Qo

jmadlin001 Mar 31 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 I like list, label, learn and human treasure hunts Gets them talking. #sstlap

historytechie Mar 31 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 I tell Ss we are learning together. I will make mistakes & they will too- we need to learn from them. #sstlap

Meems852 Mar 31 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 I always let them know when we are trying something new & get their feedback! I'm also not afraid to act silly & wear costumes! #sstlap

hohmsclass Mar 31 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@kiddielitprof Classroom meetings...the way to go! That's the best way to solve in-class problems, I think #sstlap

hohmsclass Mar 31 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A5. So important! If we expect kids to take positive / constructive feedback, we have to model that by being willing to do the same! #sstlap

MGrundel Mar 31 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Hook - bring SS to life, make it real and relevant. Ss need to see it: act it out, play it out, move it out. Let them recreate too #sstlap

historytechie Mar 31 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A9 No rows (only test days)- Ss sit in groups of 4. Take class outside when needed. MUSIC!!!! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 31 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A9 i didn't do this often enough-change look of room- but took kids outside of room- change location = change of experience #sstlap

historytechie Mar 31 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Teambuild, establish respect/discussion norms. Take time to discuss life and learn from that! #sstlap

A10) Can't expect to achieve greatness w/o doing something different which always carries possibility of failure. Use it to learn. #sstlap
