    "Identity development begins with children's awareness that they are separate and unique individuals. During childhood, self-awareness grows and changes." This is interesting to read and reread as needed to understand development.

    Jen, This is a great resource. So interesting to read all about sod houses and the daily life that revolved around the house. I especially like the actual letters that students (teachers) can read.

Looking for Lincoln Throughout His Life | PBS LearningMedia - 2 views

    • Jenny Mathiesen
       
      This fits the standard 3G because the teachers is asking the students what their thoughts are about Lincoln. The teachers gets to know the students a bit because it is about getting the students ideas and there's no right or wrong answer.
  • Culminating Activity: Creating a Personal Timeline Review the Lincoln timeline that students assembled at the beginning of the lesson. Point out that each event has a date, as well as information and a picture about that date. Remind students that the timeline begins with the earliest date and goes until the most recent date. Explain to students that it is now their turn to make a timeline about their own lives. Ask them to think about two important things that have happened to them in their lives. Ask for some volunteers to share this information. (Some possible answers: the day they were born; going on a fun vacation; learning to play an instrument; getting a special gift; starting school; making a new friend; etc.) Hand out blank sheets of paper to each student. (Hand out 1 sheet of paper for each student creating a timeline online and distribute 3-4 sheets for each student creating a timeline by hand.). Ask each student to write down the two events that they thought of on a sheet of paper. Now ask them to think of 4 more important things that have happened to them in their lives and to write those down, as well. Ask students to create a timeline on which to put these events. Creating timelines by hand: Ask students to draw a line from left to right across the middle of their paper. Then ask them to draw small vertical lines to indicate important years in their lives. To create a longer timeline, students can tape 2-3 pieces of paper end to end and then draw a horizontal line across all the sheets. Creating online timelines: Direct students to the “Timeline Generator” at TeAch-nology.com (Note: Instruct them to scroll to the bottom of the page to see the timeline tool.) Ask students to put their 6 events in chronological order in their timelines, starting with the earliest event and ending with the most recent. If students are using the online timeline tool, ask them to print out their timelines once they have finished. Encourage all students (whether creating a timeline by hand or on the computer) to draw/paste images or photographs to go along with each event. After students have completed their individual timelines, ask for volunteers to explain/ present their timelines to the group.

      This supports standard 7I because the students take the learning about Lincoln and create their own timeline about their own lives.

  • After the segment, bring out the drawn outline of the hat. Ask students to tell you some facts that they learned about Lincoln in the video. Write the facts (or ask students to write the facts) on the hat. (Some possible answers: Abraham Lincoln worked as a congressman in Washington for one term; he returned to Illinois in 1849 to practice law; he was a father; had 2 children; he needed to earn a living; he educated himself; he read; he taught himself Euclidian geometry; he traveled with other lawyers, judges and sheriffs to different county courthouses; made close friendships; his time working as a lawyer was an important time in his life; the courthouses that Lincoln worked in are now tourist attractions; he was involved in over 5,000 court cases; he took almost any case.)
    • Jenny Mathiesen
       
      This section could support 4E if the teacher is purposeful to create/develop the conversation to not just explain terms used but connect the events in Lincoln's life to lives of the students in the classroom. It doesn't specifically call out to do this, so the teacher would need to KNOW to actively do this during the lesson.
  • Ask students to think about and discuss the following question with their group: If someone wanted to learn about this class just by viewing 5 things in this classroom, what 5 things would you select for him or her to view? What could he/she learn about the class from each object? Once they have selected 5 objects, each group should complete one Our Things Student Organizer for each object. Students should write down the name and/or draw a picture of the object and write a brief description of what someone could learn from viewing that object. (For example, a dictionary- shows that they can read and like to find out about new words, etc.) As an alternative to this activity, students can describe 5 items from their home that tell a story about their family.
    • Jenny Mathiesen
       
      This supports 7I because it does a great job of connecting the lesson to the lives of the students and invites them to express themselves in the same way they did as a class about Lincoln. The teacher will get to know the students in fun and deep ways with this lesson!
  • Ask: What is one type of job that you think he had before becoming President?

What about the other kids in the room? - Unconditional - 4 views

  • The “other students” in the room have agency over how they show up in difficult moments. Just like we support students to practice and use their agency responsibly in their learning, friendships, and community, we can do the same when it comes to moments of crisis
  • What’s the dividing line between stress and trauma? While there’s no clear answer, one key element is sense-making
  • When we are upset and overwhelmed, sometimes we hurt others.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Our students need us to help them understand what it means when a classmate is struggling. They need us to create space and hear how they felt, and validate their emotions. They need help understanding why a situation got so big and scary all of a sudden. They need to hear us say that their classmate is getting the support they need (and mean it), and to hear us say that their classmate is still a cherished member of our community

    Great read forwarded by Dr. Pesek.
