The tasks is to assessment SECONDARY sources focusing on Authority & Accuracy, but it isn't of any high rigor material...Instead I give them both 5-Star and 1-Star user reviews on Amazon of both the books I used to construct the lesson.

Why? Normie responses are what we deal with every day.

I deliberately included some of the lesser discussed material regarding these two individuals as well as highlight that racism is an integral part of their thought process.

Next we're movin' on to these "Founding Framers". I do not use the term "Fathers" because they are not my daddy and I don't have a weird Nationalism slaver fetish.

Students respond to the prompt with what you'd expect: Nothingness, trash, destruction, ruin.etc...

But taking a look at what Dr. Nancy Isenberg spells out in "White Trash": Wasteland was also the beautiful pristine forests of North America

#Civics teacher BONUS Lesson. I've only deployed this once (usually due to time).

It's purpose to provide more in-depth contextualization of where British North America was at prior to the establishment of the US

I use these slides/questions in my geography & world history curricula, as well.

We wrap it up with Baron Montesquieu's & Jean-Jacques Rousseau's contributions and beliefs. I recently read David Graeber's "The Dawn of Everything" and there's a bit about Rousseau that I will probably add.

The task is having students parse the text for how he organizes "types of liberty" and who he sees as a slave.

(Spoiler: He sees himself as slave for being under the governance of a king who could threaten his accumulation of stuff)
January 22, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Introduce John Locke as one of the wealthiest slave traders in history. We assess "Life, Liberty, Estate". In this course we focus on "Two Treatise of Gov't" and engage in primary source analysis.
January 22, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Students are asked to point out which of these principles among early British governing documents they are already familiar with. Brief historical context of each. Then we dive into the 4 individuals to standards want us to.

Start with Hobbes, divine right of kings, and image analysis.

Civics Lesson #3. Influential 18th & 17th C. European documents & philosophers to US governance

Open w/ discussion questioning the history of our own beliefs. As @imanibarbarin.bsky.social says, "Conversations are cumulative". Do you know the accumulation of your own thoughts/morals/expectations?

I'm so sad right now

The task! I've had varying degrees of success with this, often due to reading capacity. I have them compare textbook definitions, secondary sources, and a primary source! This is the exemplar. They have to do the other 3.

Most of the course will be focused on "Republicanism", but they do need to be aware of other constructions as well as historical context of the ideology- and of course, US perceptions on those ideologies.

I have used the quote as a conversation starter. Note: I actually don't care for that book.

High School #Civics Lesson 2! Political & Economic Philosophies:

Opening question: Why were many workers adverse to organizing/confronting abusive exploitative industrialism? We conclude that economics plays a big role in politics.

I use Dr. Gholdy Muhammad 5 pursuits shape the lesson.

In the past I've often presented some current political discourse on social media. They say what they've seen and what they think. Here are some examples

And that's day 1 of #Civics!
January 4, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Years ago I heard: if Hillary wins, that would mean the last 34 years of the US will've been governed by only 3 families.

Further discussing "Oligarchy". I ask students to count up each time a name repeats itself. Does that mean anything? I also ask could we argue they aren't oligarchs? (elected)
January 4, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Slide 2: What are we learning in here over the next 18 months? What does "Civics" include? What do we know about each of these topics?

Slide 3: Vocab! This is the note-taking task for the day. We discuss the nuance & context of each example. They fill out a graphic organizer.

Teaching high school #Civics! Intro on the 1st day. New semester. #education #curriculum

We always start learning as part of our introduction to one another- including their expectations of me.

Slide 1: Who are these people? What is their role?
January 4, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Been reading @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social new book, "The Originalism Trap" and listening to the 5-4 podcast. Made some new slides for my 9th grade Civics curriculum.
December 17, 2024 at 3:24 PM
So this is how I'm constructively approaching the few straight men in my life right now. You should do the same.
December 3, 2024 at 12:44 AM
Lol @tiktoksupport.bsky.social said this racist antisemitism wasn't a violation
