I was CAUGHT up with my blog entries and here I was all worried that I was not. Well, "yay" for being on top of things!
So back to the reason for the creation of the blogs. Social Studies.
Something of Interest:
Just because you have prepared what you are going to say during a class discussion does not mean that it is going to come out of your mouth correctly. FOR INSTANCE (this is totally JUST an example and SO did not happen to me yesterday during class .. baha!) when a student is supposed to be talking about Christopher Columbus and instead out comes... Martin Luther King! AHHH! Things do not always work out as they are planned, but in short, that may make lessons even more memorable.
What I was trying to make a point in saying is that: I learned that facts about the history of the United States is not always correct, such as Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. I would like to learn ways to introduce the facts in a way that is non threatening, but still teaches students to question the past and learn for the future!
I am very excited about learning about Mt. Everest this week, even if I never do have an interest in going up it and facing death itself. Good luck and God bless to those who have or are currently climbing it!
Good night!
