DMooreSpanish May 25 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 when Ss can make connections to history it becomes more interesting and relevant. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 May 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Current events often easiest to make relevant but also ensuring Ss understand historical figures were just like us #sstlap

STLinOK May 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: we're the "glue" that connects the rest. Plus, who needs fiction w/ Hist (cough, Henry VIII)?!? #sstlap

jmadlin001 May 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 I like to use lots of local history. Ss need to know history isn't just in a dusty textbook. #sstlap

ApraRalli May 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#sstlap A1. To get a bearing of themselves it's important to study these subjects.The skills imparted are life skills which can't be ignored

A2 We bomb lots of places, shouldn't we know where they are & who/why we are killing, maiming, etc.? #sstlap

N_Davidson18 May 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I love maps. I freaking LOVE maps and have them all over my classroom so I refer to them often and make it a routine in my room #sstlap

STLinOK May 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: understanding an event/society/period/etc is often rooted in a sense of place - cultural &/or physical. #sstlap

jmadlin001 May 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 I think using current events helps w/this. Ss do care once they understand what the big issues are. #sstlap

A1) connect to current events/themes. 1960/70s protest music, are they still applicable? #sstlap
