The Eyes on the Prize documentary is fantastic. The Bill of Rights Institute is a great resource. I also use a movie called Separate but Equal that is historically accurate and very entertaining. The only problem is it is a very long film.

I like to go more in depth on the stories of Emmitt Toll and Claudette Colvin. They are really engaging for my students since they're both teenagers as well. Thinking about these events from the point of view of another teenager usually hits them pretty hard.

Recently incorporated the biography of Claudette Colvin into my lessons, was really well received by my students

I love showing "Thurgood" starring Lawrence Fishburne.

Show them the protest scenes from Forrest Gump, from when he shows up at the rally to when Jenny gets on the bus. It really shows the scope of the protests and can lead into discussions about CR in general.

To all the post-9/11 veterans, it’s a somber day that unites us all in the reason we fought. It’s easy to forget - especially with the younger generation having 9/11 be a history lesson rather than something they lived through. The waters became muddy with two wars and politicians, but you all stepped up and did your duty. Thank you all for your service, it’s an honor whether we crossed paths or not.

The 11th grade classes I can very much do whatever I (or the student) want/need…there isn’t a set curriculum

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
