Time for some forgotten history.

*Twenty two* African Americans served in Congress during the 1800s after the Civil War. Right before Southern racists took voting rights away from black people again.

Since many people don't learn this in schools, let's do an important thread:

A lot has been rightly said about MLK and nonviolent protesting. Some have denounced those who resorted to violence, and he certainly eschewed violence. But there's more to MLK's view than "violence is bad".
The more important point may be this:

An excerpt from "The Other America" by Dr. Martin Luther King, a speech delivered at Stanford University on April 14, 1967 (a thread).

"Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still

@rmcotton @TessaBGarland Same here. It was extra motivation to read and write.

My media specialist and I came up with the idea of having local businesses donate different goodies for the student for reading and explaining book through writing and the Waffle House gave a free waffles to a few students who met criteria.#CFCultureofLiteracy

@Samanth88908917 @TessaBGarland I think having these running records will help you group students in order to keep challenging the advancing readers as well as providing extra support to the struggling readers.

@bcrews12 @TessaBGarland Lexile scores are also a good way to differentiate and using data for grouping activities.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

@bcrews12 @TessaBGarland I think this is really a great idea..not only will they use technology but they may want to read more on writing and producing their own videos. Open up many opportunities for them.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

@Jessica11178020 @TessaBGarland I agree with this strategy because if students choose they are more likely to read it and enjoy it.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

@TessaBGarland No. During ELT time each day.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

@GianninaAdkins @TessaBGarland This will be great when teaching my students about analyzing theme, setting, or plot. Also will help better understand text structure.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

@unclechrisbowen I can use this with my students on their upcoming Election paper. So they can fact check their resources.

[Terrance_Cowboys @Terranc36108894]

The reading assessment at school that gives the most useful information about students is i-Ready. Students log on each day. I use the information to find students weaknesses, data for differentiating & to track effectiveness of instruction.

@kristawgreene @TessaBGarland I think this is great way to expand their recognition of words that begin with |p| so as they see words and try to pronounce it they can rely on prior knowledge.
