@dankrutka The students in her classes have been having great discussions about this topic and how much they feel like they were misled about the rights of the Northern African Americans
Instead of regular persuasive prompts, my mentor teacher uses inquiry based questions from SS content. Students read through primary and secondary docs then formulate an essay on this! #NTsschat
So cool to see 5th grade students at Las Colinas use the UN sustainability goals as a research project for their IB exhibition. They are being exposed to real world problems and thinking of ways to solve them! #NTsschat
These are the types of justice oriented citizens that we want in our society. Teaching students the proper channels to get reforms made is an important task accomplished in SS. #NTsschat https://t.co/Ain4A5YE4e
Today is the anniversary of the Boston Massacre. British soldiers clashed with American colonists protesting British occupation. Historical Thinking: what events/attitudes/beliefs lead to this clash between the British and American people? #NTsschat
As we near the end of Black History Month, one of my favorite books to read is ‘The Story of Ruby Bridges’. R. Bridges is an Am. activist who fought for her right for edu. Her story is inspiring and reminds us all how far we have come and what still needs to be done #NTsschat
Just had a authentic deliberation session in SS class. It was encouraging to see our teacher care about our thoughts on his content and quizzes. Having students voices heard is one of the biggest democratic practices in the classroom that a teacher can practice #NTsschat
In Choice Words by P. Johnston Ch 4 we focus on teaching students about agency. While this novel focuses on writing it can be applied to SS. Students need to see the relationship between their actions and changes that occur in their environment due to their action #NTsschat
So exciting to see media literacy is an important topic for discussion and now even learning about it through a series from such a credible organization as @TheCrashCourse#NTsschat https://t.co/bQY6E9puKh
Being a Digital Citizen is important in this day and age. Teachers shouldn’t just be teaching about staying safe on the internet (tho it is important) They should be focusing on HOW to interact on the internet. What is a safe site, who are the audiences etc #NTsschat
