@Chucktaft 9 is great... but because it's not stated in the Constitution, people don't think it really does exist! #sstlap

MrBarry628 Mar 3 @ 9:18 PM EST

My friends on #sstlap, pardon me for responding to Qs late...I am posting something on Facebook :) GREAT Chat so far though friends!!

#sstlap poll 2 - oh yeah - the light bulb is pretty cool too

AJBianco Mar 3 @ 9:19 PM EST

#sstlap I stand by iron! Without it we don't get the cars, sky scrappers and innovations that have brought us to a fantastic society.

CHitch94 Mar 3 @ 9:19 PM EST

A3) Simulations tended to get Ss excited and engaged when I was teaching f2f. #sstlap

@Chucktaft yes- I only get 4 choices but wanted to provide some examples of debate topics-- sorry yours didn't make the cut.. :) #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Mar 3 @ 9:20 PM EST

Simulations always are high interest! Also songs like Mecedonia right @svicenzi83 #sstlap

alexanderedtech Mar 3 @ 9:21 PM EST

Have to say writing because no writing means no twitter 'nuff said; and I don't really consider fire an innovation. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Mar 3 @ 9:21 PM EST

@Meems852 it's all about building the excitement for the Ss. I've already started talking up next week's arrival of WWI #sstlap

mhoeckelman Mar 3 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2. I put life in the white washed, milk toast info from the book. #sstlap

Chucktaft Mar 3 @ 9:12 PM EST

#sstlap best Amendment? How about 9 - underrated chant beginning in my family room

Chucktaft Mar 3 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 #sstlap excitement? energy, challenge, music, volume, relevancy, humor, creativity, movement - those work for me!

SofiaGeorgelos Mar 3 @ 9:21 PM EST

@Braz74 I like that @Chucktaft is differentiating from the choices provided and creating his own poll. #sstlap

@MiniMatisse so stealing that idea. I teach art to 7th graders #sstlap

AJBianco Mar 3 @ 9:22 PM EST

Everyone's first reaction is "Cut the common core"... yea why not have all students learn different things and fall farther behind. #sstlap

sandyrotto Mar 3 @ 9:22 PM EST

@GauthierRebecca @mrmatera I'll share what I come up with. My mind is just spinning with ideas and excitement. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Mar 3 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3 bracket most influential political philosopher; #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Mar 3 @ 9:26 PM EST

I think Pocahontas needs to have a rap battle that sets the record straight on her story. She isn't a Disney story #sstlap

Chucktaft Mar 3 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3 #sstlap I like the bracket better in a narrow topic than broad, so the context is the same - others can be apples and oranges

CHitch94 Mar 3 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3) Could see doing this with empires, leaders, etc. in world history. #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Mar 3 @ 9:26 PM EST

@CCSGeorge @MrBarry628 Great topic: Most Influential Person that was NOT President - makes them think! #sstlap

MrBrownNWMS Mar 3 @ 9:27 PM EST

Poll 3. Edison vs. Tesla - highly charged battle no doubt, sparks would fly, like an AC/DC concert #sstlap

beebekienstra Mar 3 @ 9:27 PM EST

@Chucktaft the apples and oranges questions elicit great discussions because they are so different #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 3 @ 9:27 PM EST

Oh I wanted to talk about why/how to use March madness/competition and provide some examples- multitasking #sstlap https://t.co/oCrQknwhKS

#sstlap Poll 3 Hamilton is currently doing it, but Rapmaster AH Pockets vs. Little Fierce Tommy J would be nice https://t.co/vj4aEwjfdB

BrianJurinek Mar 3 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: Place Ss & their topics into the bracket and challenge them to defend their topic, having their peers vote raises the stakes. #sstlap

Poll 3 I voted for Lincoln b/c He was known as a great storyteller. #sstlap

Sorry #sstlap I am just too consumed in the debate tonight, I hope y'all understand and I'll read the archives tomorrow. Be well all!

SofiaGeorgelos Mar 3 @ 9:36 PM EST

@CoachCilano Digital brackets or on chalkboard? I'm looking for more ways to present their projects and compete. #sstlap

hoffmanteambret Mar 3 @ 9:36 PM EST

SCOTUS, due to longevity and impact #sstlap https://t.co/2Wq1OmWF46

MrBrownNWMS Mar 3 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4. What's more important, POTUS veto power or SCOTUS judicial review? #sstlap

MrBrownNWMS Mar 3 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4. What if? Lee commands Union Army and Grant commands Army of N. Virginia. Who wins? #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Mar 3 @ 9:37 PM EST

@Meems852 we do similar battles with knights and samurai and leaders during dark age. #sstlap

AJBianco Mar 3 @ 9:37 PM EST

@SofiaGeorgelos @CoachCilano Why not make the brackets on something like @padlet so they can see it and edit it in realtime #sstlap

I wanna be in your class! #sstlap https://t.co/6U46OpTx0u

BrianJurinek Mar 3 @ 9:38 PM EST

@AJBianco @SofiaGeorgelos @CoachCilano @padlet Interesting idea which could give Ss more ownerships over the competition. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 3 @ 9:39 PM EST

@BrianJurinek @AJBianco @SofiaGeorgelos @CoachCilano @padlet nice- like the idea of moving names- could do Google Draw too- #sstlap

Chucktaft Mar 3 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4 #sstlap best thing about competition, match-ups, brackets - all can be linked to an awesome essential question - right @CHitch94?
