Hey Social Studies,
This seemed like a film that would be a perfect match for the movie assignment in class! I haven't seen it yet, but look forward to and would love to hear your thoughts on it!
This would be a great site for students to create timelines to highlight important events of each decade. It also points out how things such as the cost of living, technology and popular culture have changed over time.

According to the Department of Education, the country will need 1.6 million new teachers in the next five years. Retention of talented teachers is one key. Good teaching is about making connections to students, about connecting what they learn to the world in which they live, and this only happens if teachers have history and roots in the communities where they teach
The film-makers betray a lack of understanding of how people actually learn, the active and engaged participation of students in the learning process. They ignore the social construction of knowledge, the difference between deep learning and rote memorization.
Waiting for Superman has ignored deep historical and systemic problems in education such as segregation, property-tax based funding formulas, centralized textbook production, lack of local autonomy and shared governance, de-professionalization, inadequate special education supports, differential discipline patterns, and the list goes on and on.
It is important to show students how women in history have had an impact in their lives today. This site is a great resource for students and teachers.

This webite includes some intersting political cartoons for those of you who may be interested in that. My Grandpa Anderson use to be a polital cartoonist for a newspaper. My mom has one of his caroon drawings on her wall in our living room.
This is also gives me some great information about the Pioneer women who lived in South Dakota just like Laura Inglas Wilder did! The Long Winter takes place in South Dakota, too.

First Amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees unions. The right to organize is the embodiment of our cherished Freedom of Assembly. Unions built the American middle class while building our roads, bridges, cars, schools, hospitals and other institutions we cannot live without
I had no idea there were so many examples of pictographs and petroglyphs in Minnesota. Visiting any one of these sites would make for an incredible field trip experience.
This is a great website that shows where reservations are located. It also talks about the different tribes that live in each area. I think this website is wonderful because it shows a map of Minnesota, which makes learning much easier and fun!
This is a website that has a letter from a pilgrim who first came to America. It is a great example of the technologies or lack there of when America was first settled.
