@Braz74 Awesome Qs B! #sstlap

Americans2012 Feb 18 @ 9:12 PM EST

@Braz74 a1 I create menus so that Ss can choose how they want to 2 show they met the standard #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Feb 18 @ 9:12 PM EST

@MrBarry628 That is definitely something visual learners need. I would also add in a political cartoon. #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 18 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 find the things that filled me with wonder at that age; some of that enthusiasm I had when I was a kid still comes with me. #sstlap

MrAllardSS Feb 18 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 Have Ss challenge historical questions and investigate. Who fired 1st shot of Am Rev? Was the Boston Massacre a murder? #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 18 @ 9:12 PM EST

@steph_frosch thanks I try--- great to see you in #sstlap again!! hope you are doing well

ConnellySue Feb 18 @ 9:13 PM EST

Love surprising them with kahoot, my own made games, jousting tournaments, movie making, shared dialogue docs, blogs, and more! #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 18 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 also try to find the "mysteries of history," some of which are silly or irrelevant, but can inspire curiosity and wonder #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 18 @ 9:13 PM EST

@SofiaGeorgelos I use Google Docs for EVERYTHING & create "digital packets" like this one...Tons of visuals #sstlap https://t.co/yYwujp9w63

MrBarry628 Feb 18 @ 9:13 PM EST

@jedikermit Same! Love the stories that make the Ss go, "Wait...what!?" #sstlap

jedikermit Feb 18 @ 9:14 PM EST

@Americans2012 This is something that I want to develop with other teachers; working toward standards based grading, not there yet #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 18 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 immigration simulation - Ss created songs- build anticipation -- don't want to miss... #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Feb 18 @ 9:14 PM EST

Survey the students & then revisiting their answers after learning always shock them / anticipation matrix https://t.co/CcBcfk9USu #sstlap

steph_frosch Feb 18 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 Ss need the tangible items like @MrBarry628 mentioned. In our digital world the art of actually touching a marvel has been lost. #sstlap

@jedikermit Absolutely! I often have SOTW, but usually songs about history are pretty obscure 80s bands, my Ss were psyched for this #sstlap

A6 Music was something I was relatively late to for classroom use. Eventually figured it out. #sstlap

MsMensing Feb 18 @ 9:46 PM EST

A6 Music can quickly change the mood in a classroom. Need to energize? Play dance music! Time to calm down? Turn on classical. #sstlap
