A bit late but my 7th graders made commemorative stamps for the Republic of Texas for their EoY projects. It was a great way to show creativeness and explain significant events.

My 8th graders created Commemorative Stamps for a US History topic. They had to explain their images and why that topic was significant. #historyandart@nisdmsss@JordanNISD
Had the kids create "Presidential Sweaters" before Winter Break. Had to decorate and explain how the symbols connected to events of the president or political party viewpoints. Shoutout to @Marshall_AmyL for the lesson idea/template!

Creating Social Media battles with the Feds/Anti-Feds arguments. Teaching government to kids can be frustrating but man..... these battle posts were incredible!
@nisdmsss@JordanNISD#FedsvsAntiFeds
Had my students create Social Media battles for the Federalists/Anti-Federalist debates. Gave opposing arguments about ratification, government power, the Bill of Rights. Not quite what I wanted, but it COULD be an argument today right?!?!😁

Some really good 7th grader Twitter battle convos- Sam Houston vs. Mirabeau Lamar with their presidencies. Some of their hashtags and Twitter names cracked me up!

As a history teacher, @Flocabulary is AMAZING. Whether I am teaching US/TX History or showcasing significant Hispanic/African American/Women's History... they have a video for it!

Teachers,
RT this if it is impossible for you get your grading, planning, parent/guardian outreach and all other additional requirements (on top teaching) completed during your contractual hours.
Just curious.
7th Graders objective today: How do local governments operate?
Using iCivics today to simulate how things work at a local level. Game time!

We may not have had any internet Wednesday but that didn't stop my 7th graders from illustrating and explaining the different Presidential policies of Houston/Lamar. They even gave their opinions of whether it benefitted Texas or not.
