Mr. Cline

For the final assignment of the year, my content partner @MrJKMitchell and I had students do Historical Hot Takes. This was a great way to end the year using CER with humor. These were some of the ones from my group! #teachertwitter #edutwitter #sschat

As somebody who teaches both World History & US History, it was a special day where both set of students could complete the same activity!!! My 8th graders considered the causes of the civil war and my 7th graders worked with the reasons for the Fall of Rome

It’s Day of Giving! Big Red helped us surprise Mindy, a student in the Educational Leadership Doctoral Program all the way from Australia! Thank you for helping to support our students! ❤️🤍

Definitely going to use this in the future! Great Work!!

Summer Activities Fair- Franklin-Simpson Community- Saturday, April 13, 9am-12pm @ F-S Middle School Gym. Free Event for the community.

Today was technology day! Students decided which technology they thought was the G.O.A.T! They did a great job using evidence to defend their G.O.A.T technology! #edutwitter #engagement #sschat #teachertwitter #socialstudies

In honor of us learning about Manifest Destiny this week, I share with you one of my favorite videos my content partner @MrJKMitchell and I made over Western Trails! We made a matchmaking game over the major trails. Enjoy! #sschat #edutwitter bit.ly/49tNOhX

Have you tried "Grab and Go" PD yet? How has it worked for you? (Inspiration via leaders @earonsheats, @JulieRhodes2 & @beteach_09)

Tried something I saw on Twitter called “Dividing the Pie” Students were given 5 different groups that migrated west & their motivations for going. They then made a pie chart to illustrate their answer to the question: “Were some motivations more influential than others?”

Students did an awesome job with this and their engagement was through the roof. Definitely going to do this again. Here are some of the Masterpieces 3/3 #sschat #engagement #edutwitter

Next, they each were given the sources but had no topic or background information about them. They had to use the Masterpieces to figure out which ones matched the sources. They then had to pull out details from the source and Masterpiece that gave it away. 2/3 #sschat

Been a busy week and haven't posted an amazing activity we completed! Ss last week completed the Masterpiece Matchup that was found by my awesome content partner @MrJKMitchell. Ss were given a source and created their own artwork based on the source they were given. 1/3 #sschat

@spullinteach Thanks! COVID forced us to be creative to deliver content in a unique way and I loved doing it!

ER: Articles of Confederation This is amazing! youtu.be/MJTy3FOHjkg?si… Great job @MrClineUS

New test strategy today: Ss were to write whether west. expansion was MORE + or - using prim. source docs. Rather than asking them to memorize docs, we provided 14 prim. sources that we'd used during the unit. It was incredible to watch them analyzing docs & improving their claim

@lauramcfarren This is awesome! Definitely going to use this with our Manifest Destiny unit is a few weeks. Thanks for sharing!

Turned @MrClineUS idea into a similar assignment for the Civil War. docs.google.com/document/d/1mo…

It's impossible to be a great leader if you don't genuinely care about the people you lead.
