Today’s resources were created by Robert Kennemer and Gabriel Valdez – in the push for 8th Grade STAAR Review. BTW – the 8th grade test IMHO is harder than the 11th EOC. Texas teachers – agree or disagree?  In any event, que tengan bonita fin de semana to all! Have a beautiful weekend, enjoy We will be working together today on some reviews for our teachers – 6 more class days more or less.Looking for strategies and templates? Check out https://lead4ward.com/playlists/ and they have a lot of strategies many of which provide a template in Word. bit.ly/CWDots.    adobe.ly/3A1FJlb.      bit.ly/CWReconDots

Laura McFarren (@lauramcfarren) Today my Ss did “picture book reviews.”  pick a book from my history stash read it (solo or w/ a partner) write a review using the template make the connection to a primary source Only downside: it needed more time.

Facing History (@facinghistory) April is #GenocideAwarenessMonth. Read this article to get resources that look at Genocide from both a historic & contemporary lens + use it to map out lessons that help students tackle this topic by uniting head, heart, & conscience. https://t.co/2cYiZeSF6E #genocideeducation (https://twitter.com/facinghistory/status/1642666536954470402?t=BXlpdixdJFQHaAUTeTgRRA&s=03) 

Culture Bump helps students and teachers make connections with others. They have a book and other resources that encourage deep dives into beliefs and cultures and helps build cultural identify and connections.

Teaching Tolerance Magazine is a superb resource where students and teachers explore issues affecting our current world, how to process them, and how to create impactful change. 

During a time when students feel disconnected from their peers, One Globe Kids  helps them connect with new friends from around the world through beautifully photographed, interactive stories. Students ages 4-10 engage in cultural exchanges with peers in different countries by viewing their stories, going on virtual adventures together, and practicing speaking and reading different languages..
