https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3 Report on a new, effective, or innovative teaching tool/strategy utilized in the past month en-us 2018-03-27 10:09:17 UTC 2025-12-01 18:30:25 UTC hello@padlet.com lloyd_williams https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246418248 Im using the Testing Essentials as an instrument through-which kids can acquire the primary knowledge on a given GPS/AKS topic, and perform basic, unguided practice with that knowledge. 
For example, here is a link to 'TV Nation.'  Student will have to copy data points from posters onto notebooks, answer multiple choice questions, write paragraph utilizing primary sources. 
This can be done at home. In class, first 15mins, verify that this task was completed via open notebook exam. Afterward, students can engage in a variety of enrichment activities.
These google docs can be completed in 20mins. My plan is to create such instruments through-out the year covering every topic on the GPS/AKS]]> 2018-03-27 10:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246418248 abdullah_kapic https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246426608 We (Williams and I) are trying to bring the 1968 Olympian Tommie Smith to talk to our students about 1968 Olympics and this famous picture.  We've already made a contact. Pending Mr. Taylor's approval

However, after speaking to Mr. Williams and seeing how he creates his test through google docs, I decided to try it myself. I like this much better as it allows the students to have different options such as, matching, multiple choice, flask back questions, and DOK higher level questions which Kapic has helped me with as USA test prep has allowed me to get some of those types of questions. I am still working on it, but I am excited to try it out today. ]]> 2018-03-27 11:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246426853 christopher_pae https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246428772 I've assigned pairs of students in my classes New Deal Programs and had them create New Deal flyers outside of class and bring them in.  They've had to present them to each other (not in front of the class) as a sort of jigsaw.  I have split the class up in half and have each partner go to one side and try to sell their agency/program as the best.  Students have to take notes on each program then answer questions on eClass.  They also get to vote on the best flyer and presentation/sales pitch of the program for bonus points.  I get to keep the best pieces of art to show for later projects. Assign it at the end of a class and have them bring it in as a project grade or two grades for the flyer and eClass portion. If students don't have partners show up, then they'll have to rotate between the two different sides of the room.]]> 2018-03-27 11:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246428772 christopher_pae https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246430469 These flyers are all hand drawn so I get to utilize more some of their artistic skill too. Some of them really enjoy this.]]> 2018-03-27 11:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246430469 https://padlet.com/lloyd_williams/rq5jyswrjix3/wish/246466176 Coach Yancy
