Well, I was planning on recording and posting my next podcast last night, but our refrigerator died. So, we were in a mad dash to move food before it spoiled and now it seems we may be spending our free time in the next day or two trying to find a good deal on a new one. I hope to have my next podcast up by this weekend. I’ll be talking about the Mexican-American War! Exciting!
In the meantime, here are 101 quotes that would be great to use in your classroom. I used to put one on a PowerPoint slide and start every class with a quote. I usually asked the students what they thought the quote meant. After a brief discussion, we would talk about how they could apply the quote to their lives. The quotes I used didn’t have to be history-related, but I did include many quotes by historical figures. I used these quotes to help teach character education and self-examination to my students. I think that, as teachers, we must speak to more than just our students’ knowledge, but to their moral compass and their character as well. Click here to get my 101 quotes.
