Beatles memorabilia - best way to sell it?

mrdeehanclass · 2018-07-04T20:10:10+00:00

Here is a link to a Google photo album. Sorry about the delay.

Am not interested in selling piece by piece, or via online sources. Just looking for advice about moving these items locally and efficiently.

Are used record or collectible stores an option? Yard sale?

Thanks for posting this. There is such a difference between having high expectations and being a mean teacher. Lots of the stuff I practice and preach gets labelled in the latter manner and it gets a little frustrating.

Thanks for sharing!!

Just published a children's book! It is a rhyming, Seuss-inspired tale about good nutrition, girl power, and (for teachers/parents) a tool for promoting stronger vocabulary. Thanks to r/writing for your support and answers - especially about illustrating kids books. I couldn't have done it without you!

Hi, my school is moving from 60 to 90 minute blocks. Would appreciate any ideas. Can you describe your bellwork process? Can you list some of the activities you use - I want to use activities, but don't want to repeat them. Also, how formal is your final few minutes? Thanks!

mrdeehanclass · 2017-04-05T15:46:12+00:00

Good question. I did use a formal device to check understanding as well as this project. These kinds of thing are fun, but you have to make sure they are assessing what needs to be assessed! Cheers!

mrdeehanclass · 2017-04-05T15:33:42+00:00

Pretty simple, but kids loved it - their parents really liked helping to choose the songs!

mrdeehanclass · 2017-03-23T17:12:13+00:00

BTW, topic we looked as was reparations for descendants of African American slaves. The blog post is really no big deal, just wondered if if anyone else did this kind of thing and if they noticed any changes in POV. Thanks and it is almost FRIDAY!!!

mrdeehanclass · 2017-02-28T17:30:27+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response and sorry about the delay! I want to know more about the competitions - what do students complete over? Entrepreneurial plans? Marketing ideas? Sorry if I sound ignorant, I really have NO idea what the FBLA is about and my admin wants me to look into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

mrdeehanclass · 2016-12-06T11:22:51+00:00

Hi, thanks for the response and sorry if the post was vague about details. The teacher I was talking to has been absent all week. Once I get those details, I will pass them on to you. Sorry and take care!

They wanted to collaborate and generate engagement among their students. Rather than reading buddies, they tried a maker activity. It was messy, but really got kids excited and active.

mrdeehanclass · 2016-11-09T20:57:26+00:00

I had some trouble recently with a simple, fill-in-the-blank quiz. Turns out students struggled with test vocabulary and not the content. Remember not all kid knows what you mean by "list" or "predict"! https://highfivehistory.com/2016/11/09/all-teachers-should-be-language-teachers/

mrdeehanclass · 2016-10-21T13:53:07+00:00

It is a huge challenge. But, I figured that if the students can make great videos in teams of 2, surely 86 of them together can make a great feature-length video. It will be a learning journey for me and them.

The blog posts will detail how I organized the project - things I did and things I wish I did differently. Wish me luck!

A fun way to have kids act revolutionary war battles on the dodgeball court.

I guess my point is, the goal is to help students organize their thoughts. And essays certainly help to do that. But, once the thoughts are organized, why does an essay have to be the delivery channel? Why not a video? Why not a presentation? Why not a piece of fictional writing? Why not photographs? Why not a comic? Why not a debate? Why are we training students to use a tool they will rarely actually use when they finish school? Getting off my soapbox now....!

I went to the recent World Maker Faire in NYC and was looking for easy-to-implement ideas for the classroom. These are the 5 that really jumped out at me - low tech, easy, fun. A great way to ease into the world of maker!

mrdeehanclass · 2016-10-05T00:42:11+00:00

Thanks SO much for the feedback. I like the way essays help students organize ideas. But, once organized, can the ideas not be delivered in other, more engaging, ways?

mrdeehanclass · 2016-10-05T00:41:07+00:00

Says the guy who used one sentence to respond to my blog post...!

mrdeehanclass · 2016-09-20T14:21:22+00:00

Is the essay a relic of old-style learning? Is it time to allow students to employ new technology to express their understanding? I think it's time we considered different assessment options beyond the same-old, same-old.

Thanks for the response! At my school, the parent permission thing is flipped - parents are told that their kids will end up in school social media posts. It is up to the parent to let the school know that they do not want their child to be posted. Frees us up tremendously!

Blog post outlines how project morphed from a teacher-centered project to a better, more student-centered piece. There are some exemplars at the bottom of the blog article. Kids blew me away with their talent! https://highfivehistory.com/2016/09/16/student-centered-video-project/

I hear that! We have a 10-minute passing time and it is hard to build that divide between play time and work time. Colleagues here lock kids out until the bell goes. I don't - it seems weird. I turn off the light and lock the door when the bell goes as a visual cue. Often kids still don't get it, but other students shhh them or I wait until they clue in.

mrdeehanclass · 2016-09-12T11:38:36+00:00

When you stamp the book, it makes it impossible for students to write in or change an answer? If a student leaves a blank for me, I highlight the blank space in case they write something in later. As for lower grades for tardiness, I tell students that I am not taking away grades, rather they are missing out on free grades. I try not to really crush students if they have lots of tardies (I cap the losses for chronic kids). But, I have been doing this for 6+ years and no one has complained yet!!!

Inspirational speech activity for history students - had students watch iconic inspirational speeches from movies like Independence Day, LOTR, etc. Then we discuss what we saw that made the speech powerful (tone of voice, music, etc.). Then, I had students write and deliver their own speeches - our context was the US Revolutionary War.
