Lincoln Asks Twitter Followers for Speechwriting Help

My favorite one! For example, you could use it to explain the Gettysburgh Address, I never learned what four scores and seven years ago actually meant until recently, a score is 20 years, thus 87 years, 87 years from when? The Declaration of Independence. This could be a fun transition into comparing the DOI and the G. Address, because Lincoln had the DOI in mind when he wrote it.

This is a bit of a comical website but I think it could be a fun way to seem cool to the students, while actually teaching them, covert learning. If your kids are into twitter, you can post these on the board or pass out copies in the beginning of class for a warm-up. I wouldn't have them view the actual site because the comments get a little inappropriate. You would certainly need to use discretion. Sometimes teachers need to seem like real people and if I was in high school, I would think a teacher that used this was cool.
