MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: As a US History T, the anthem is a symbol of pride, love, and passion for my nation & what "we" stand for as a unified people #sstlap

kiddielitprof Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Wendy, prof in MN. Trying to follow along as we drive down the hwy. Connection is sketchy. 😳 #sstlap https://t.co/79nhFZD49r

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1a: I personally think we overplay/overuse it which dilutes the true meaning of why we have an anthem #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@MrBrownNWMS It is the beginning of the year - need to get Ts thinking so we can get ss to be world changers #sstlap

DaveWheeler11 Sep 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1) it means something different to all those people/groups. For me, it's about freedom and the vision of setting your own path. #sstlap

MrsC_Will Sep 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: It's a symbol of a love of our country, a form of nationalism, and unification. #sstlap https://t.co/rz514U3vJ1

N_Davidson18 Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Anthems in general are used to unite people in a common vision; form a brotherhood so to speak #sstlap

A1b: In reality, how many people KNOW where the anthem comes from? Is there a reason we chose this for our anthem? #sstlap Qs that need answ

tammy_brown_edu Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 The National Anthem is a symbol of pride for who I am and my country Oh and hi, Tammy Brown 6th gr US history teacher Alabama #sstlap

MrBrownNWMS Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1. To an outsider, or one who initially hears it, it is a song of victory in war and pride in the banner of the victor. #sstlap

classroomtools Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 I agree. Personally, I'd prefer America the Beautiful or This Land is Your Land. Both less bellicose. #sstlap

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Chuck from Milrockee - great to back at it for another year in the classroom - better than the alternative! #sstlap

DaveWheeler11 Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1) for others today there may bring a feeling of being held back and lacking control, having a vision of setting their own course. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 Sacrifice, survival, perseverance -I get frustrated when ppl dont take off caps, or Ts don't stop walking during pledge - respect #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

The pledge of allegiance was originally done with the Bellamy salute, what is now the "Hitler raised hand" so we changed it #sstlap HISTORY!

N_Davidson18 Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: However, to minority groups it can help to alienate; how many anthems seem to promise ideas but not deliver to all? #sstlap

historycomics Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I then showed these "unpatriotic" Americans to discuss #sstlap https://t.co/LLK7L1c0x8

MrsC_Will Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@MrBrownNWMS or a song that is annoying. I had someone from China tell me they couldn't stand it. #OlympicsonRepeat #sstlap

tammy_brown_edu Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I have heard this too & while I don't agree I do see why they say it. One was from the former Soviet Union. #sstlap https://t.co/mRSyOIfXz4

Er, #sstlap! https://t.co/D4ejMOhG8h

JeremyDBond Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1) The third question is the most relevant. It reads differently for all of us, so its "meaning" is unclear. #sslap https://t.co/2rqqZ5OnK2

N_Davidson18 Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@MrBrownNWMS Kind of like French national anthem #sstlap

MrBrownNWMS Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1. What does it mean to me? It means we like war...and winning...and freedom. #sstlap

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 beat me to the keys - it is important to know the origins of national symbols ...#sstlap https://t.co/oCSXaudlS8

A1. To an outsider, or one who initially hears it, it is a song of victory in war and pride in the banner of the victor. #sstlap

MrMoose_History Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: Meaning can depend on background, bias, etc. To me, sign of freedom, perseverence, pride. To Others, can mean something else #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

We're looking at some historical moments like Tommie Smith who changed the anthem's meaning in 1964 too, #sstlap

@tammy_brown_edu a good friend who came from Germany said the same thing. Different experiences shaped her mindset. #sstlap

MrMoose_History Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: I love asking my foreign exchange students what they think of the National Anthem, Pledge, etc. Anyone else do this? #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1 understanding that others se it differently allows for conversation- can't assume all see it as presigious as others might #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@Chucktaft I bet more than 50% believe the anthem comes from the Rev. War and not the War of 1812, and was that REALLY that big? #sstlap

shadow_uzumaki Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@Braz74 @burgessdave Ooh Looks like #sstlap is going to be a good one. GOod thing I finished last of my hw.

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

... but we also need to realize we put value in words, images, actions, symbols, places, flags, songs #sstlap

classroomtools Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@historycomics I think much of what is labeled patriotic is really jingoism. Those willing to sacrifice for ideals are patriots 2 me #sstlap

A1: As a US History T, the anthem is a symbol of pride, love, and passion for my nation & what "we" stand for as a unified people #sstlap

MidlandSuptBW Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Our National Anthem represents pride in being American. Other countries have similar effects. #sstlap

historycomics Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@classroomtools that was the discussion opener - define patriotism and a patriotic American. Great discussion #sstlap

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 and more than 95% don't know it was poem and then set to a British drinking song #sstlap

MrsC_Will Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@Chucktaft but we also need to realize not everyone does... #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @burgessdave glad to have you join -- the more ideas the better #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

tammy_brown_edu Sep 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 This verse is an example of "know your history" this puts the song in context of when it was written. It's uncomfortable today. #sstlap

MrsC_Will Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2a: This would make the anthem more relevant. "People have died for your rights..." arg. becomes relevant. #sstlap https://t.co/cIAEXAPmrP

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Our anthem is kept simple so we can all relate/follow it. Language like war, slave, blood are not "patriotic" in an anthem #sstlap

What four words do you feel should be included in our national anthem? #sstlap #tlap .... :)

historycomics Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#sstlap this last image from today - really opened up discussion. Is this patriotic? https://t.co/Nlp1L5Bp9U

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 #sstlap I'd say no - not celebratory, especially today

DaveWheeler11 Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2) I think the anthem needs to be concise and specific. Lots in that verse #sstlap

MrsC_Will Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 Could you imagine someone trying to sing this? They already butcher the current version. #sstlap

shadow_uzumaki Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#sstlap A1 First, the Nat'l Anthem was the affirmation of my family living the American Dream here in the US,but now...

Chucktaft Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@Braz74 you the man Ben #sstlap

MrMoose_History Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@tammy_brown_edu Exactly, not everyone looks at the context of the song. Good idea to study context in APUSH. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 if you watch the video is it powerful - deals with issue of slaves fighting for freedom even against own country #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 1 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MrsC_Will It KILLS KILLS KILLS me when people sing the anthem and they change any note to it or add/modify it. #sstlap disrespectful to it

MrBrownNWMS Sep 1 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2. That verse is an ode to the ones who sacrificed to help "expel" the British. It has little to offer today. #sstlap

JeremyDBond Sep 1 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2) I only just became aware of this verse during the latest "controversy." It's disturbing and divisive. #sstlap https://t.co/pEIqDOHyv5

@MrBarry628 Really good question! I'm writing that down...I don't have an answer. #sstlap

@N_Davidson18 @MrsC_Will Fantastic questions. It's like when we added "under God" to the pledge. Can we do that to the anthem? #sstlap

shadow_uzumaki Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

#sstlap Living in the US means that our rights/freedoms r supposed to be honored,right? Can we honor our right/freedom to not sing it?

historycomics Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 @MrsC_Will that's how I feel about the flag - even a blue and gold version for Notre Dame, etc - bugs me #sstlap

MrBrownNWMS Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2. Impressment was the key, contentious issue that fed the War Hawks' clamor for war. They likened it to slavery. #sstlap

A3 Teaching it is crucial; some have no understanding or empathy because they've fortunately never experienced it; #sstlap

@tammy_brown_edu which makes the idea of judging the behavior on our standards inappropriate-do we stand up against injustice today? #sstlap

DaveWheeler11 Sep 1 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) oppression is being held back because of laws or social norms that are out of one's control or they feel powerless.to change it. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 1 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@Chucktaft Absolutely! I would agree with all of this #sstlap
