So currently my students are studying the Revolutionary War. This is a very popular topic among the kids and I never struggle to keep them engaged.
The other day was no different. I showed them a video. (which they love…because it is November and it’s the 2nd video I have shown all year!- I’m mean like that!) We watched a video on Thomas Paine. I had them watch the video once through and then the second time I had them fill out a quiz.
One of the questions was “What were four jobs Thomas Paine had during his lifetime?” Now the video mentions the following jobs: tutor, corset maker, grocer and a tax collector. My kids did very well on this video quiz and while I was grading I was very pleased with the scores I was seeing. Now grading papers is usually not something I love to do…however it is usually where I find inspiration for my posts. This evening was no different. My kids spelling this year is atrocious…and makes me cringe EVERY time…however this evening it made me smile…
Thomas Paine is a "tooter"
