Seventh graders preparing for the battle of all battles. Which city is better, Ancient Sparta or Athens?
All of my students did an excellent job on our first socratic seminar of the year! #wms#whitnallin#history teachers
Some great shots of students doing a gallery walk in conjunction with Mr Bilys classes. Students showing off their "Egypt: Book of the Dead" projects. Great work! #wms#whitnallin
Happy Principal Day @Antholine and Twitterless Mr Relich, thanks for being kind, patient, focused and hardworking dudes. Thanks for all you do at WMS #WMSpride
Having my students create info flyers about the 14 main Chinese dynasties. Activities like this are a great way to break down complex subjects into fun, creative, and "doable" portions. #WMSPride
We had a great time participating in a socratic seminar today. The focus was on whether Julius Caesar was a Tyrant or Hero for Rome. All my classes were very engaged and wowed me with their content knowledge and discipline. #WMSGrateful#GreatDayToBeAFalcon
#socraticseminar is one strategy that I believe engages or provides an opportunity for learner engagement. When visiting classrooms...this made me pause, stop, and smile at the learning taking place. @ReidThinkLearn#SamC#WMSGrateful
Learning is important everyday of the week, but on the fringe days (Monday, Friday) it's fun to shake things up with a Kahoot or fun activity to get kids energized for the rest of the day. #Kahoot#WMS
Who says art and creativity have to be isolated to art rooms? Today students were asked to jot down blurbs as "graffiti" for their collaborative study of Rome. #WMS#WMSpride
Students working in small groups on their debate topics. It's amazing to see how kids synthesize information into talking points. #WMS#WhitnallPride#TheGreatDebate
Today we are working in blended learning groups. These groups are working through a few articles on the mythological origins of Rome. They are scheduled to debate on Monday and are hard at work building their points and counterpoints for the discussion. #WMS#whitnallpride
