Winning Students Over

today, I did two intro activities. One was a teaser of the course. Students got 12 historical events we’re going to learn about, and they had to match them with 12 images.

I also did an intro activity called “what’s in the pocket.” I giving a bunch of pictures of artifacts that were in in Lincoln’s pocket the night he died

The students didn’t know what the artifacts were or whose pocket they belonged to. They had to try to figure it out from the artifacts. Both lessons were a huge success, and kids really liked having something hands-on, and something that prompted critical thinking.

On exit slips, these were some of the comments: "I really enjoy your personality as a teacher, and how down to earth you are. I am also enjoying all of your ideas about perspective and how important it is, especially with the watch knob thing."

"Two things I liked in class were the interaction with the whole class and the enthusiasm about what we are learning. "

"I liked the interactivity of the lessons and the teacher's attitude."

"I really like the activities we are doing and there being purpose in the the activities."

"I like all the things we've done as a class and im excited to do more."

I have liked how interactive the lessons have been and that they are more thought provoking rather than just regurgitating facts."

"There wasn't anything I felt like was bad about class the last few days. It's been pretty engaging, I don't feel like I'm having a hard time focusing or finding myself getting bored."
