One idea I was thinking about would be creating a debate about the founding fathers. Is it worth it to become a new nation or continue to side with the British? Having the students research this topic using the primary sources available to us. When they are in the debate, the teacher would just moderate and ask questions. This would allow the students to learn from each other rather than being talked at. ]]> 2020-12-13 23:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/10868367/11iyh1ryze35uf6z/wish/1014343505 10868367 https://padlet.com/10868367/11iyh1ryze35uf6z/wish/1014372569 Getting students to study certain aspects of history that are surrounded by something the students are interested in. This can be started by trying to find out something about their culture that they didn't know before. Having a natural interest in the topic fuels a desire to learn about it. ]]> 2020-12-13 23:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/10868367/11iyh1ryze35uf6z/wish/1014372569 10868367 https://padlet.com/10868367/11iyh1ryze35uf6z/wish/1014380090 Getting involved with the community is a necessity in social studies. Seeking opportunities to volunteer is something students need to continue in their development. One example i read for volunteer opportunities that helps get the students excited was from a website called helperherlper.com. They spoke about goal setting, tracking, providing opportunities for the students. This is as much teacher work as it is students. https://www.helperhelper.com/5-practices-engaging-students-community-service/

Using zoom is a handy tool that allows teachers to broadcast their lessons. They are able to hold polls and share their screen to make sure that teachers aren't the only thing the students see. There are many activities that teachers can do with zoom and online meetings. One blog post I saw stood out to me had 11 different interactive ideas. https://www.theliterarymaven.com/2020/09/zoom-games-students.html
