Day 30! Let’s jump ahead to WWI. Space issues have made it hard to truly simulate trenches, so enter another roll your own adventure! This was a ton of fun to research 🧐 #sschat #middleschoolsocialstudies

And then the fabulous @MrMeehanTech made a digital hyperdoc version

1/28- 🧶🧵 wrapping up my month of sharing with the favorite things I’ve ever made!! While helping my best friend develop a station activity for the rock cycle I brainstormed ‘Roll Your Own Adventure’ to simulate historic events with a random result #sschat #Iteachsocialstudies
🧶 my first attempt in social studies was for the legislative process as my students’ comic strips were all the same where every bill was vetoed, overridden, and became a law. So boring to grade! So I thought let’s get the kids thinking creatively and be more realistic …
I’ve made both federal and state versions, and students can choose to turn their story into a comic strip or narrative #studentchoice #civicsrules

Day 27- propaganda is a huge part of 20th century US History. Have students analyze examples for primary sources... then make some of their own!
