Today I Iearned great strategies for using our TCI textbook in all 3 levels of core history courses! Haunted Mansion videos for World History sound great for October! And primary source visuals in every decade of US2… #TCISummit24

Going old school today and using dictionaries! Engaging with a book matters, and it’s definitely more interactive than Ctrl+c from online. POV: Freshmen working in groups to define words before our higher-level reading about industrialization.

Beautiful day for a mask break

In the age of digital & virtual learning, I was SO excited today to receive this tangible, colorful, hexagonal thinking diagram! APUSH students organized concepts of the 1920s then "bolted" the most interesting connections. ⚡🤔💡 #hexagonalthinking #APUSH #UFRSDproud

USHistory II students have been hard at work creating Google Sites virtual museums about WWII. This includes the "Double V" campaign, in which African Americans fought for victory overseas as well as victory at home. It sparked the Civil Rights Movement of the '50s/60s. #mlkdream

In his 1967 speech, "What is Your Life's Blueprint," Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. suggested: “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." May these words inspire us through the new year.

[Mark Guterl @UFRSDSuper]

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

I knew this light saber would come in handy one day...Today, APUSH students learned about the skill of contextualization. They will apply this skill by creating their own Star Wars crawl with a paragraph about the Reconstruction era! 💫✏ #maytheforcebewithus #UFRSDProud
