Does anyone else think of "de-salination" when grading exams about "de-Stalinization"? Nope? Just me? #highschool #teacher #mskellysworld #grading #history #stalin

You know it's too late to be grading when you have to google whether or not you spelled "muscles" correctly. (to be fair, I'm a history teacher...not a science teacher lol) #endoftheyear #highschool #grading #mskellysworld

Studying #history is all about looking at events of the past and understanding the #why instead of just knowing the #what. #beyondthedates #mskellysworld #worldhistory 3/3

A #writingprompt in my class asks students to take on the #perspective of a German in the 1930s and to describe why they would/wouldn't have supported Hitler. This student has a good point: "Adolf can do many great things, and besides, who do we have to turn to but him?" 1/3

[Ms. Kelly's World History @mskellysworld]

It's important to remember that #hindsight is 20/20, and it's easy to say, "How could people have supported Hitler?" Germans were desperate at that time. It was literally less expensive to burn money than it was to burn wood. 2/3

I think we sometimes forget that to the people at the time, World War I was just World War. They had no idea another was coming. That's why they used names like "The Great War" or "The War to End All Wars." #randomhistorythoughts #mskellysworld #worldhistory

I will never tire of the fact that my students continue to believe Rene Descartes is a woman. #studentanswers #mskellysworld #worldhistory #facepalm #historyteachers #philosophy

Sorry, folks - been absent from Twitter for a week because of...well...a few reasons. Hopefully I'll be back swinging soon! In the meantime, I just learned about a town in #PA called Jersey Shore. Why? Check out the link in thread. #JerseyShorePA #mskellysworld

"Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you." Who uttered these famous words on this day in 1876? Why was it such a momentous occasion? #thisdayinhistory #mskellysworld #worldhistory

Spent time last night learning how to use the @unladylike2020 section of #PBSLearningMedia online. We looked specifically at indigenous women. Which would you like to learn about? Is there another woman you would add? #mskellysworld #ushistory https://t.co/hgdBq0nHVV

Watching #AgeofSamurai on #Netflix about the rise and consolidation of clans that would eventually be known as Japan. So interesting! Anyone else watch? #mskellysworld #Japan #worldhistory #history

As a kid, did anyone else confuse Charlemagne, Champlain, and Champagne? 🤣 #earlyworldhistory #mskellysworld #studentanswers
