Flash Blog for #Flipclass

I typically do not do a lot of student-centered learning in class. My main argument is I do not have time to allow my kids to create so much content. Teaching in the AP environment does not give me a lot of options for student creation.  If you have any suggestions on how to incorporate more of this please let me know.

With that being said, I have allowed my students to create a final exam project for Delia Bush's 5th-grade classroom.  They are creating lesson plans for their student and the kids actually love doing this. We took 3 days to stop APUSH and created the first of two lessons. It really helped with the moral of the class last week, in a time of year that is hard to teach.

***Had to put Cooper and Sully to bed and had to take a 10 min break.***

Also, it was Sully's 1st birthday party yesterday.

I really want to find more ways for my students to create more in class but I am worried it is going to take more time away from learning critical thinking skills that my students need to master in order to have success on the APUSH exam.  FYI - I have 4 chapters left to cover and get them ready for the exam on May 8th.
