"I think that the ARS format for citation is easy. It would be easy for the younger kids to learn to do. I have always used pictures for writing prompts but I recently started requiring the students to write 3 observations, 3 inferences and 3…"
"As I work with elementary students I would be very careful with showing pictures. At that age I would be very leery about showing anything controversial. That being said I think it depends on your students. Some groups can handle issues that…"
"I have enjoyed the morning. Most of the pictures and lessons have been geared toward older students but they have been getting me thinking about what I can do to bring things to life for the students. I like the thought of using pictures and…"
"Greetings,

"Not that I can do hip hop but I never realized how "easy" it was. What I liked the most about this class was how simply the dance steps were broken down. I had several ah-ha moments.
Gabe's comments about attitude and swagger were great. What…"
"So much happening in this era. I love that the government came up with Animal dances to combat "Hitlerism". That could lead to a good discussion with high school students. Why did the government do this? What was the need? Does the government…"

This was my…"
"The butterfly was fun and the way that Elizabeth changed it for a seasonal slant was extremely fun. I liked how eye contact was emphasize during the Jump Jim Joe song: a good skill for our kids to learn. I love the thought of using this at a Family…"
"I wish that I had a big skirt to dance some of these dances in. swish, swish, swish
I liked the quad dance better than the cake walk. Especially today, I didn't have to think as much. = ) I just had to dance the given steps. These are good for the…"
"The waltz is a beautiful dance but it is something that I will have to practice more before I intro it to my students. I like the circle dance much more. It was free and easy. If we made mistakes it just made us laugh. This would be fun to set up…"
"The welcome dance would be a good morning routine/tradition. I have done the dance that we learned at the Art Institute in Juneau as a morning activity and the kids seem to like it. This would be another song to do and "change it up". Anna had a…"

I am so excited that you joined the ANUAH program! I am anxious to hear more about your experiences in that remote part of the Alaska (and other places you have been as well.) The National Archives definately holds a lot of early American materials! Be sure to reply to the invitation to join the "Archival Research Basics" group request ... without being part of the group, you can't download the essential materials for this class.
