2018 Titan II Missile Museum Field Trip!

Last week my US History students went on a field trip to the Titan II Missile Museum. Located just 45 minutes from our school, visitors can experience for themselves the last remaining nuclear missile silo from the Cold War era. “This preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, is all that remains […]

WWII and Vietnam Veteran Interviews

Earlier this month my US History classes visited a local retirement home, Fellowship Square, to interview the WWII and Vietnam veterans residing there. Obviously, listening to real stories from the people who experienced them is a better learning opportunity than me attempting to recount war history in the classroom. I am grateful to Chaplain Al […]

San Xavier Field Trip

Field trips bring history to life; they take classroom learning to the next level, where students can touch, feel, and truly ingest content. I love taking students on field trips, and at Desert Christian High School, I have the freedom to do just that! This month we’ve been discussing the era in American history called […]

Creative Assessments

Looking for a different way to assess student learning outside of the multiple choice test or writing prompt? How about a PowToon? PowToon.com is an online tool which is used to create animated videos and presentations. The animations help to grab student attention by making content come to life and, there are ready-made templates so […]

Closure

Most teachers know that closure, otherwise called an “exit ticket,” is an essential part of a daily lesson plan. By definition, closure is “a sense of resolution or conclusion at the end of something.” Therefore, at the end of a lesson, when we as teachers have (hopefully) imparted some selection of knowledge from our minds […]

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1934, notorious criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are killed by Texas and Louisiana state police while driving a stolen car near Sailes, Louisiana. Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow in Texas when she was 19 years old, and shortly after they met, Barrow was imprisoned for robbery. When Barrow was paroled in 1932, he immediately hooked up with Parker, and the couple began a life of crime together. After they stole a car and committed several robberies, Parker was caught by police and sent to jail for two months. The couple teamed with various accomplices to rob a string of banks and stores across Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico and Louisiana. To law enforcement agents, the Barrow Gang, which included Barrow’s childhood friend, Raymond Hamilton, W.D. Jones, Henry Methvin, Barrow’s brother Buck and his wife Blanche, were cold-blooded criminals. Among the public, however, Parker and Barrow’s reputation as dangerous outlaws was mixed with a romantic view of the couple as “Robin Hood”-like folk heroes. Their fame was increased by the fact that Bonnie was a woman and the fact that the couple posed for playful photographs together, which were later found by police and released to the media. Texan prison officials hired a retired Texas police officer to track down Parker and Barrow and he tracked them down after a three-month search. On May 23, lawmen hiding in the bushes opened fire, showering the couple in a hail of bullets and killing them. All told, the Barrow Gang was believed responsible for the deaths of 13 people, including nine police officers. But, Parker and Barrow are still seen by many as romantic figures, especially after the success of the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. #BonnieandClyde #History #USHistory #clydebarrow #bonnieparker

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ When #NikolaTesla was found dead at age 86, representatives of the U.S. government’s Office of Alien Property swarmed his NYC hotel room and confiscated the documents they found there relating to the pioneering inventor’s work. It was January 1943, the height of #WWII, and Tesla claimed to have invented a “death ray.” Rather than risk Tesla’s technology falling into Axis hands, the government took possession. What happened to Tesla’s files from there, as well as what exactly was in them, remained mostly shrouded in mystery until the FBI finally declassified roughly 250 pages of their Tesla-related documents in 2016, and followed up with two additional releases. The latest release was in March 2018, but many of Tesla’s files are still missing….Tune in tonight at 10/9C for the #TeslaFiles as we explore Tesla’s inventions, innovations, and mystery. #Tesla #Inventor #DeathRay #FBI #Aliens #mystery #Tonight

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ Schoolhouse Rock! began as a way to help the son of Madison Avenue advertiser David McCall with his homework. The story goes that his son was having trouble remembering the multiplication tables, but knew the lyrics to his favorite songs .And so, McCall called a copywriter friend of his named George Newall who was also a pianist and they enlisted the late composer Bob Dorough. The first song recorded was "Three Is a Magic Number", and the group compiled and released a children's record. Then someone suggested adding animated shorts to the songs, and Schoolhouse Rock! was born, debuting in 1973. Though the show technically ended before the 1980s, syndication meant that children have been singing their way to knowledge. What’s your favorite song from the show? #SchoolhouseRock #Imjustabill #conjunctionjunction #threeisamagicnumber

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1945, Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, put out flags and banners, rejoicing at the defeat of the Nazis. The eighth of May was the day when German troops throughout Europe finally laid down their arms: In Prague, Germans surrendered to their Soviet antagonists; in Copenhagen and Oslo; at Karlshorst, near Berlin; in northern Latvia; on the Channel Island of Sark–the German surrender was realized in a final cease-fire. The main concern of many German soldiers was to elude the grasp of Soviet forces, to keep from being taken prisoner. About 1 million Germans attempted a mass exodus to the West when the fighting in Czechoslovakia ended, but were stopped by the Russians and taken captive. The Russians took approximately 2 million prisoners in the period just before and after the German surrender. Meanwhile, more than 13,000 British POWs were released and sent back to Great Britain. Pockets of German-Soviet confrontation would continue into the next day. On May 9, the Soviets would lose 600 more soldiers in Silesia before the Germans finally surrendered. Consequently, V-E Day was not celebrated until the ninth in Moscow, with a radio broadcast salute from Stalin himself: “The age-long struggle of the Slav nations…has ended in victory. Your courage has defeated the Nazis. The war is over.” #WWII #VEDay #VEDay73 #history #MilitaryHistory

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory, 1973 Secretariat wins the 99th #KentuckyDerby. Secretariat is probably one of America’s best-known horses, becoming a Triple Crown winner in 1973 after breaking several records and capturing the public’s imagination. In order to win the Triple Crown, a horse has to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes – all in less than two months. It's considered one of the most difficult accomplishments in the world of horse racing and has only been managed by a select number of horses. Secretariat’s achievement took on additional significance as he was the first horse to win the Triple Crown in more than 25 years. Before him, there was one winner in 1919 and seven in the 1930s and 40s. #Secretariat #Derby #TripleCrown #history

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1986, the world’s worst ever civil nuclear disaster to date occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. The full toll from this disaster is still being tallied 32 years later, but experts believe that thousands of people died and as many as 70,000 suffered severe poisoning. In addition, a large area of land may not be habitable for as much as 150 years. The 18-mile radius around Chernobyl was home to almost 150,000 people who had to be permanently relocated. In Ukraine, in the first 5 years after the disaster, cases of cancer among children increased by over 90%. And, during the first 20 years after the accident, approximately 5,000 cases of thyroid cancer were registered in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus among those who were younger than eighteen at the time of the explosion. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 5,000 cancer deaths were related to the Chernobyl accident, but this figure is often challenged by independent experts. It took nine years after the fall of the USSR to close the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station and more than 25 years to build a new shelter over the damaged reactor. #Chernobyl #Nuclear #History #Ukraine #History

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ It’s a classic image, children enjoying…their vegetables? Well, during #WWII rationing meant ice cream was unavailable and so the official replacement became a carrot on a stick. The sugar needed to make ice cream was one of the first luxuries to be hit by rationing, along with bacon and butter. Carrots, however, were in plentiful supply during the war and The Ministry of Agriculture promoted carrots heavily as a substitute for other scarcer vegetables. In fact, we have WWII to thank for the promotion of carrots as beneficial for eyesight. And carrots were even marketed with a mascot called “Doctor Carrot,” a carrot with a top hat and carrying a briefcase labeled “Vitamin A.” In fact, the substitution of carrots for ice cream was so ubiquitous that many children who were born just before or during the war, didn’t discover ice cream until after war rationing stopped in the 1950s. #Carrot #Vegetables #Rationing #BritishHistory #history #eatyourvegetables

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ Childhood hasn’t always been unfettered fun and games, the youth of America used to clock in and out like the rest of us. Or, at least some of them did. That all changed, and a lot of the credit goes to photographer Lewis Hine. He was originally a schoolteacher, but through cunning and craft he cleverly faked his way into places where he wasn’t welcome and took photos of scenes that weren’t meant to be seen: America’s working children. Between 1880 and 1900, the number of children aged 5 to 10 in the workforce had increased by 50%. One in six small children were mining coal, working in the mills, selling newspapers, or otherwise gainfully employed. The National Child Labor Committee had been trying to end child labor since its 1904 founding, but statistics weren’t having the necessary effect so in 1908, they decided to enlist the help of Lewis Hine and his camera to get their message out. It worked, but it definitely took some time. The Fair Labor Standards Act was passed by Congress in 1938. That law prohibited any interstate commerce of goods produced by children under the age of 16. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it into law on June 25, 1938. #LewisHine #ChildLabor #History #USHistory #Factory

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1881, Billy the Kid is found guilty of murdering the Lincoln County, New Mexico, sheriff and is sentenced to hang. There is no doubt that Billy the Kid did indeed shoot the sheriff (no word on the deputy), but he had done so in the context of the bloody Lincoln County War, a battle between two powerful groups of ranchers and businessmen fighting for economic control of Lincoln County. When his boss, rancher John Tunstall, was murdered before his eyes in February 1878, the hotheaded young Billy swore vengeance. Unfortunately, the leader of the men who murdered Tunstall was the sheriff of Lincoln County, William Brady. When Billy and his partners murdered the sheriff several months later, they became outlaws, regardless of how corrupt Brady may have been. After three years on the run and several other murders, Pat Garrett finally arrested Billy in early 1881. The court took only one day to convict Billy of the murder of Sheriff Brady. Sentenced to hang, Billy was imprisoned in Lincoln’s county jail while Sheriff Garrett gathered the technical information and supplies needed to build an effective gallows. On April 28, while Garrett was out of town, Billy managed to escape. It didn’t last long though, on July 14, 1881, Garrett surprised Billy in a darkened room not far from Lincoln and shot him dead. #BillytheKid #History #WildWest #IShotTheSherriff

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is killed by an assassin’s bullet in Memphis Tennessee. "Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism."
