We need you. We need your support. We need you to know what really goes on. It's a shame too many parents don't know the ins and outs of education today. It's even more a shame that too many are not even aware of what their child can do, can't do, and won't do. Welcome to History Is Elementary! I hope you comment again soon!<BR/><BR/>I prefer chronological order as well especially at my level which is basically a survey type course. Later on students have enough knowledge to learn history with gaps and holes. Shoot, I'm still trying to get some students to believe me that Sponge Bob is not a history figure.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1162265146838986462006-10-30T22:25:00.000-05:002006-10-30T22:25:00.000-05:00Thanks for the support you three.

It's been a crazy last few days what with Red Ribbon Week (a big deal in Elementary), a Fall Festival on Saturday, my father's surgery, and faced with the mess I had in my classroom this morning due to being out two days. <BR/><BR/>Dennis, stay tuned. I don't feel it's right for me to bitch like that and not speak a little more soundly regarding the pros and cons of theme teaching versus chronological teaching. I will be posting the themes provided to us, but they took the themes we finally agreed upon. I guess they are under lock and key for some reason. I hope to post regarding this tomorrow.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1162253382600920252006-10-30T19:09:00.000-05:002006-10-30T19:09:00.000-05:00Oh good gravy.

You're reminding me of why I left teaching English officially, and why I left middle school.<BR/><BR/>All the same story: It's complete Bull-hockey. Like we teachers have loads of time to revise every single thing we do because some pencil pusher somewhere far away from my classroom gets some wild hair."Ms. Cornelius"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16970201479637588558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1162205075210564982006-10-30T05:44:00.000-05:002006-10-30T05:44:00.000-05:00EHT, I think you and I are writing in different wa...EHT, I think you and I are writing in different ways about the same thing. Great minds run in the same channel! Could you give some examples of the "themes" you were given?Dennis Fermoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066942564308377074noreply@blogger.com
