I’ve got it. The same thing that took down Harriet Tubman and Stonewall Jackson….pneumonia. And let me tell you, it is NO JOKE! Thank the Lord for modern medicine! I was diagnosed with pneumonia last week (as well as a cracked rib from coughing so hard). I am getting better, thank goodness! Unfortunately, there is no way that I record a podcast being so weak and short of breath. I don’t want you to think that I have given up and walked away. I will resume my podcast hopefully next week. In the meantime, I will continue to post to my blog. I have a treat for you for stopping by…
Click here to download my worksheet called “Thinking About Life on the Great Plains.” It is a list of opinion questions that I used to give my students every year after we studied life on the Great Plains. My students love these questions, because it really makes them think about what is most important to them. What can you do with these questions? You can:
- Give them to your students after they finish a test and wait for others to finish as well
- Use a few of them as writing prompts or exit ticket questions
- Use one to start a class discussion
- Have the students complete the worksheet and get into groups to discuss it
- Play a “four corners” type of game where you call out the question and students must stand on one side of the room or the other based on what their response to the question is
One good thing that has come of this is that while I’ve been sitting around trying to rest, I’ve been working away on history curriculum! I’ve got a cool product coming out next week (hopefully) that I think students will really like! Check the blog again next week to find out what it is!
