Thing 22

I love books and I just got to hear a podcast on Learn Out Loud that is an exert from the book Don't Know Much About History. The book is all about how Americans don't know as much about our country's history as we should. In fact, a poll of high school juniors showed that many of them could not identify the Declaration of Independence as the document that marked the separation of the colonies from England. Most of them could not identify when the Civil War occurred. Thanks to this podcast, I will definitely check into reading this book.
I would like to help my students do a podcast eventually, however, I am still feeling very overwhelmed by this stuff. Some of what we have done has been so easy and fun and some of it is still very intimidating to me.
