@historysandoval @netflix @YouTube Ooooh... and it is available in Spanish! Thanks @historysandoval for highlighting this resource. It's so hard to find good audiovisual resources in Spanish!

Amigues: ¿Ideas o recursos para construir una unidad sobre la Intervención estadounidense en México con perspectiva identitaria? (Any resources or ideas to build a unit on the US invasion of Mexico in the 1840s with identity focus? I have ZinnEd's mixer). ¡Gracias de antemano!

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@historysandoval ¡Hola! Back on the Twitter after a few months... no, no connections in SoCal, unfortunately.

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@mrsbyarshistory @DonorsChoose We also read this book and worked with ZH a couple of years back. I found strong parallels and connections with how we work with language learners, and it helped me have conversations with colleagues regarding work with multicultural Ss using her framework as shared language.

Today is the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage month, and I ask you (everyone not just AAPIs) to do at least one action. It’s been a tough year for AAPIs. Hear Us, See Us for who we are. I made this #AAPIHeritageMonth guide with ideas to do. Please share. #APAHM (THREAD)

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@MrsPateHistory Our district has been looking at those ideas for a number of years now, and many of them have found their way into our grading policies and expected practices. Much of it seems like common sense to me, frankly, but there was also significant and ultimately ineffective pushback.

@historysandoval 1&9 but also 5&7&10 Reconstruction
7&10 Resistance against colonialism and white supremacy (from native nations to #BLM or #StopAAPIHate)

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@semspoiler_ @DrIbram @JasonReynolds83 Moito obrigado. Ya he visto que está prevista en español, por lo menos en EEUU. Espero que llegue a todo el continente y a España pronto.

Ss explored stories of the Great Migration and connxns to our community through letters, poetry and arts, then selected panels from Jacob Lawrence's Great Migration Series to share a key takeway on @padlet - Great convos! All in Spa with Ggl transl help... https://t.co/dmN50d5HPy

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

I gave students format options to share immigration stories from our community, most chose to adapt @historysandoval 's history bento! Gracias por la inspiración.

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@historysandoval @davidtedu The Spanish edition was very useful (though I wasn't DLI last year yet).

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@historysandoval @davidtedu Started using it as we went virtual last year... could do better! but: Watched a Takei video (Eng & Spa), Ss looked at some pages as anticipation, read parts together, Ss created dialogue and explanations based on images, choose vignettes to illustrate main ideas we had studied.

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

DLI students are working in pairs doing an adaptation of the "US Mexico War Tea Party" from @ZinnEdProject, using a social media conversation template from @DitchThatTxtbk - all in Spanish!

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

¡Hola @jmattmiller! I translated the social media template to Spanish. Would it be ok to share it here with proper mentions and tags? Thanks for your work!

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

At the end of today's intro lesson about the border, which included discussing border art, students had a couple of minutes to express themselves drawing on @PearDeck. 100% engagement!

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

My students used a modified @eduprotocols #thinslides that I discovered thanks to @historysandoval (I ask them to add three words or thoughts - still three minutes) to activate and share our ideas about the border. We are getting faster and faster!

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

@SHEG_Stanford @CivicOnline ¡Sí se puede! Any plans to make curriculum available in Spanish?

[Aitor Luna Olivares @AitorLuna]

My students have the chance to catch up and explore further using a @historysandoval inspired gameboard (and will visit @historyfrog's Virtual Museum of Chinese Immigration as part of it) (https://t.co/OfbTrlqhUX). Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
