Believe it or not I have yet to meet my students, but will finally do so tomorrow and Wednesday (and yes I am excited). We spend the first day getting to know each other (no rules, threats of state/national exams) as I believe relationships are the most important thing in my class (yes, even more important than technology!). On the second day I will ask the kids to get in groups and decide why we should study history. When we are done we will start the John Green clip above at :30 and run it for 2 minutes as it is the best answer I have every heard about why to study history. Below is a new film by Keith Hughes on what he tells his students. After all of that then I will finally talk about what we will be learning and the structure of the course.
