I wrote a set of cards about the people and times when the constitution was written. I did this for my 4th grade class. We are doing cooperative group podcasts making believe we are news reporters gone back in time to when the constitution was written. This will help them remember the key points. https://quizlet.com/130158513/flashcards
I love the flash card part. I need to be careful not to duplicate questions in any way because when I ran it as a test, there were two correct answers for some, but the program only saw one so marked some students wrong. Just part of the learning curve I guess. I wonder what the advantage is if you buy a subscription? I may want to.

Favorite Interactive
So many great interactives, it is easy to get lost. The trick with limited class time is to chose one that does the best job of teaching what you need taught. Here are some that I really liked.
TimeToast - I teach several units that include history. This is such a great site. I need to sign up and create one for the era of the constitution. I am wondering if I can include links for web quests in the pop up bubble. I am going to have to sign up and create two timelines this summer. One for the constitution and one for Michigan History. Especially the Native Americans.
Scribble Maps - The students love maps, Google Earth, etc. This is such a great way to modify a lesson and make it new and more interesting. It will be great with our Michigan units.It is really interesting how much they like to draw references to the area they live and the areas of history. Interactives make it so much more real.
