Turtles, huh?

Who is this guy kidding?! It would be easier to learn to write with my toes before I did my homework. This is a classic example of somebody being totally unrealistic about what others may want to experience. There is a very good reason that this whole idea has hit the skids; I do not feel that it is necessary to expand on this thought.

Inquiry based approach to history

I love this idea! How can we get students to actually interact with history, instead of just vomiting it out on a multiple guess test? I am working on a webpage for my library that will somehow implement some of the ideas from the Bass paper in an effort to provide historical information about Michigan for 4th graders.
