Decals with Heroes - one of our best traditions. Awesome to come together and celebrate the start of the season. Awesome to honor the heroes in our players lives. Great Knight, we're ready for the first game! @IHSKnightsFB
The internet is currently down at school while students are writing short answer responses. It is killing them to write by hand, and I am positive that a student has not opened a physical thesaurus in my room in 4 years, and right now, every one of them is out! – at Frisco, TX
I NEVER mind going back to work with these people!!! – at Frisco, TX

We also create our own Crash Course-esque videos in class as final products for character analysis.
This teacher uses Crash Course! From John's Welcome Back to School video to various history videos for novel background knowledge to using all the philosophy videos to give my students a foundational understanding of philosophy to analyze fictional characters.
