STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:10 PM EST

Sorry I'm late #sstlap - got distracted by the preview for State of Jones.

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:10 PM EST

@golliharsclass glad you are jumping aboard tonight.. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: ALL history is about POV. We try to look at as many POV as possible: West Exp 1840s -- Natives, Whites, Mexicans, British, etc #sstlap

danklumper Feb 4 @ 9:11 PM EST

#sstlap Dan Klumper. Social studies Instructional coach. South Dakota.

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: We look at how all ppl were affected by the #CivilWar esp laws, actions, and we LOVE Sherman's March POV - Terrorist or Hero? #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Feb 4 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: by using different sources of information. Primary sources from different groups, and archaeology to put the writing in context #sstlap

golliharsclass Feb 4 @ 9:12 PM EST

#sstlap A1: Difficult as passions still run deep. Speak honestly of the times & ways of thinking & how they've evolved. Learn from mistakes

sgormanyogi Feb 4 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 POV represented by student taking on roles from each section and defending perspective on issues in seminar. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 after college literature course - use Frederick Douglas' narrative of a slave- and supply N & S activity- need to do more for POV #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:13 PM EST

Tell Ss that they get what brain can dev handle. Elem = "about slavery", Mid = "states rights", etc. Ts job is to help decode mix #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:13 PM EST

BTW This is such a great and clever idea! #sstlap https://t.co/4mA0Bs6fyt

MrBarry628 Feb 3 @ 8:49 AM EST

Gettin ready for #CivilWar unit!!! #davis8 #sstlap @CivilWarHistory @SmithsonianCW @amhistorymuseum https://t.co/pNSnALbnFu

@GeoPenny Thank you Penny! Ss kinda dig it & enjoy reading the different pics #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

@MrBarry628 like the Sherman's March- Terrorist or Hero-- that idea comes up later- but great to look at his Total War idea #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

@danklumper Dan great to see you again-- hope all is well #sstlap

Meems852 Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 when I taught about the civil war during student teaching I made stations representing diff pov w videos and primary docs #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

@Braz74 Not gonna lie...I'm a huge fan of "Total Warfare"....#BuryEm #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 primary sources, work to find as many perspectives as possible & make point to have Ss explain, understand these diff viewpoints #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1. I try to make sure the Ss understand the big picture slavery, states rights, sectionalism, manifest destiny, all roll into one. #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:15 PM EST

Fav activity for POV is the Nacirema article. Helps as ref point as we get to more touchy topics #sstlap

danklumper Feb 4 @ 9:15 PM EST

@Braz74 thanks! I appreciate that. Attendance might be spotty but I'll jump in when I'm able. #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 #sstlap POV can be presented with Ss discussions. I use maps... lots and lots of maps, try to bring in more than just N v S

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:16 PM EST

@STLinOK yep, love that one!!! #sstlap

jmadlin001 Feb 4 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 You can't teach history w/out POV. Ss seem to get why both sides were fighting pretty easily. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:16 PM EST

Very well said! #sstlap https://t.co/PgUpO3eItR

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:17 PM EST

@STLinOK also the Sacred Rac article... great POV of alternate cultures/ alternate histories #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: As y'all know, I am a HUGE support of Natives POV & the opposite side of history so CC POV is not popular in here :) #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q2 #sstlap https://t.co/rGenqMbd6M

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: I hate Columbus Day & the lesson about him "discovering" We totally look at Natives POV & social shifts in world cultures/ideas #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:18 PM EST

Sorry I pre-programmed a few responses, my A2 came early lol #sstlap I'm LIVE now though

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:18 PM EST

@amcrowe5 I talk in gibberish w/ grand gestures 4 Columbus. Then give the native "who's this strange guy?!?" gig #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:19 PM EST

I like that one too! #sstlap https://t.co/g5SiKdPh30

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:17 PM EST

@STLinOK also the Sacred Rac article... great POV of alternate cultures/ alternate histories #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 use his own diary-- with 50 men and muskets - can conquer them all-- #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: I like asking the Ss "What do you think the Natives FIRST thought was when they saw CC" #sstlap

Meems852 Feb 4 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 I always like to mention that he wasn't actually the first person to "discover" America #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 #sstlap Columbus "discovered" the west route towards India and stumbled upon land ALREADY DISCOVERED! That's my take for geography class

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: ConquistaDora...after(!) the Ss get the reasons for "no contest conquest" in the Americas attitude #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:21 PM EST

@MrBarry628 no worries i only have 6 questions so had to spread them out-- #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:21 PM EST

anyone use Guns, Germs, Steel? #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:21 PM EST

@STLinOK that's awesome. My new Ss may like that one. I'll brush up on my spanish and start class speaking in it or italian for CC #sstlap

golliharsclass Feb 4 @ 9:21 PM EST

#sstlap A2: Honesty again should supersede tradition. He was human & pone to human mistakes and lapses of judgement. He had debts to repay

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: Sooo we talked about J. Brown yesterday :) Asked the Ss: Martyr or Terrorist? Mixed reviews but its GOOD! Try to be open-minded #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:22 PM EST

@GeoPenny I would if I taught the subject...AWESOME book!!!!!! #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:22 PM EST

@GeoPenny yup, not sure I can for this year, but definitely used parts for APWH #sstlap

McNulty1977 Feb 4 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: I teach the history & tell them the story. I avoid any bias. Even in 3rd grade, they do pretty well forming their own judgments. #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:23 PM EST

Next year's goal is to add something shiny that will flash light in their eyes as I strut &make no sense #sstlap https://t.co/14TqITxR2s

@STLinOK that's awesome. My new Ss may like that one. I'll brush up on my spanish and start class speaking in it or italian for CC #sstlap

A2: ConquistaDora...after(!) the Ss get the reasons for "no contest conquest" in the Americas attitude #sstlap

scottmpetri Feb 4 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 Middle East shows ystrday's terrorist becomes tmw's freedom fighter. Is ur POV Capitalist or Nationalist? #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Feb 4 @ 9:27 PM EST

A2: I try to show most historic figures as people. Capable of amazing things, lucky, make mistakes, and can do horrible things #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 Here's the lesson I use https://t.co/Jz5yJ4pNL7 Does good job with that question #sstlap

@Braz74 wow... i can't answer this in 140 characters #sstlap

jmadlin001 Feb 4 @ 9:27 PM EST

@Meems852 I just had a great conversation about Columbus w/Ss. They said, "He didn't really discover America." #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: Sooo we talked about J. Brown yesterday :) Asked the Ss: Martyr or Terrorist? Mixed reviews but its GOOD! Be open-minded #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:28 PM EST

@GeoPenny try multiple posts-- Q3 is part A B C -- #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:28 PM EST

@MrBarry628 perfect example of that, depends on view, can make argument for either side #sstlap

Chucktaft Feb 4 @ 9:28 PM EST

@jmadlin001 send me your emAil and I will forward my docs! #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:29 PM EST

@amcrowe5 Ss have to come up with ideas for BOTH side...#sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:29 PM EST

@MrBarry628 I do that too, need to know both sides, make your opinions stronger when you know both sides of it #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3a: depends who's side your on. Sons of Liberty to some thought them Patriots. To Loyalists thought terrorists. #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:30 PM EST

@amcrowe5 @MrBarry628 or make arguments for both sides!! i had a prof once assign me an essay to write about the goodness of fascism #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Feb 4 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: I really like the Star Trek Enterprise episode handled terrorist/freedom fighter idea #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 I love splitting Ss in half &giving each side an article with a doff bias and have them debate! So much fun to show perspective!#sstlap

jmadlin001 Feb 4 @ 9:31 PM EST

A2 I have Native American Ss, so Columbus is not a hero. Explorers are people warts and all. #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:32 PM EST

@GeoPenny @MrBarry628 definitely, when we do dictator speed dating, Ss have to find positives of what they accomplished #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:32 PM EST

This is same idea of how we could look at Secessionists-- terrorists or patriots #sstlap https://t.co/J8ABtojy8w

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:33 PM EST

@mhoeckelman We do cool POV activity about a football game to show how that idea works #sstlap

#sstlap we did the same for John Brown. 90% of class thought him a crazy nut job

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:34 PM EST

@mhoeckelman Aww, but I heart John Brown #sstlap

sgormanyogi Feb 4 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3 present the points of view. Students determine which perspective they agree with. Never pick a side for them. #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:36 PM EST

@MrBarry628 but Im from Missouri we look at him a little different..... Potawatomi creek #sstlap

STLinOK Feb 4 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4: get Ss in the habit of curiosity & asking "why". Even a quick Google search is better than just acceptance #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4 Not easy, like what @BigHistoryPro does #sstlap

MrBarry628 Feb 4 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4: Ft. Sumter started the Civil War...or helped spark the Civil Rights movement? #sstlap Hmm....

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:37 PM EST

@MrBarry628 @mhoeckelman then you may like this song about collateral damage re. JB https://t.co/cgV24UbGLA #sstlap

@mhoeckelman I've heard of reservations not accepting $20 bills because of what he did #sstlap

A5 Psych game listeners & tappers teaches Ss how hard it is to unknow something. Applies to mores of the past #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Feb 4 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5: Do you rectify them? Or do you work with the students understand that things are not always simple #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5 you explain the times & rationale, use them as learning examples for the future #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5: Even Good Guys Do Bad Things #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:46 PM EST

@amcrowe5 and also "winners" vs "losers" of history. is this US v THEM anymore? #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:48 PM EST

@dragonmark_101 PREACH!! so many Ss seem to think "we" started slavery and that slavery "ended" with the American CW. #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:48 PM EST

@dragonmark_101 and many guys have done nothing #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5 hard to do- point out so we know humans are imperfect and we need to stand up to our Own Gov to make it live up to values #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:49 PM EST

@GeoPenny exactly, think @TheCrashCourse does well w/this too. Did Greece vs. Persia today, showed Greece not all its made out to be #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5: Can't use the future (now) to justify what happened back then. Pov and right time right place #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Feb 4 @ 9:49 PM EST

@GeoPenny I had my students compare slavery to the past and current instances of slavery #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:50 PM EST

@mhoeckelman exactly, is difficult, but can't always view history through contemporary lens, societies evolve, things change #sstlap

GeoPenny Feb 4 @ 9:51 PM EST

@amcrowe5 @TheCrashCourse showed Ss the Ag Rev vid from CC. then read Diamond's "Worst Mistake" essay. way cool to see different POV #sstlap

@Braz74 @mhoeckelman Absolutely, our job to teach them to be global citizens. Way more important than remembering random facts #sstlap

mhoeckelman Feb 4 @ 9:54 PM EST

@Braz74 What????? The gov is always right because Big Brother told me. #sstlap

amcrowe5 Feb 4 @ 9:54 PM EST
