Looking for a video to help explain Manifest Destiny and found @PursuitHistory on Youtube. The video is well paced and well produced and includes a short break down of a John L. Sullivan quote.
I'll their channel when I look for more videos for my 7th graders. Thanks!

@MrsHimesGMS @SCSDPD @GrantGatorsSCSD @SyracuseSchools I just bought a colonial wig on Amazon. It's time to make some American Revolution videos!

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

@MrsHimesGMS nailed this. This is exactly what my 7th graders are interested in. Thank you for the great ideas!

Just heard some great ideas for increasing participation for remote learners during #TeachCollabLead. Wednesday Kahoots- each subject area submits 5 questions, then the whole 7th grade competes. If you answer all the Qs you get entered into a raffle!

Participating in the first #TeachCollabLead Conference

@JGKarnes @JoeCFeldman @jaymctighe Great! Let me know if you want to chat about it. I've been working with my students on contextualization paragraphs all year and refining the rubrics and grading policies I use with them. There has been a lot of tinkering.

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

I've been fully embracing these ideas this year and they have had a really positive impact on me and my students. Now I have a new poster to make!

[Joe Feldman @JoeCFeldman]

Yes, and if we REALLY mean this, then our grading practices have to align: we don’t include formative assessment performance in the grade, normalize retakes, & don’t avg performance over time. Otherwise we undermine our own message!

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

My students have been contextualizing the arrival of the first enslaved people in British Colonial America and I want to share a video put together by @13NewsNow in Virginia. It is perfect for my class and might be for yours. #sschat https://t.co/VkzPs0gU8f

In preparing to teach my students about the justifications for slavery and white supremacy, I found this image based on Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning helpful as a starting point. Here is the website I got it from: https://t.co/gc8bPqfa1W

I hope everyone had a good inauguration day! It was a great opportunity to bring students and staff together and to share in a historic moment.

[Syracuse Latin @syracuselatin]

Our 6th and 7th grade scholars joined Mr. Lent’s ‘virtual watch party’ of the Inauguration of President Joe Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris! Such amazing citizens! 🇺🇸 @SyracuseSchools @TimothyLent

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

If you social studies teachers out there need a 30 second Brain Break from the last 36 hours, here you go.

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

@MrOttochian Thanks Kevan! This is more useful to me than the CNN10 clip I used this morning except for some of the curse words, but I'm quick on the mute button :)

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

@AlanJSinger1 Your lesson plan ideas really saved me this morning. Thank you Alan! Nick shared them with all of us in Syracuse.

[Timothy Lent @TimothyLent]

Thank you #sschat for some ideas for giving context to today's events for me and my students.
