A gentle reminder ...

The goal of this blog initially was for Mr. Mc to show his students and friends what he doing while in Pennsylvania and DC in 2011. Now it's being used as a place for him, travelling colleagues and former students to discuss edumacation and history related "stuff" as well as ... well, anything which pops into his head. Mr. Mc would never knowingly embarrass either the school he loves or the family he is devoted to. By joining in the discussion, he expects the same of you.

The Declaration videos I love...

Earlier today, I told the kids about all the great video choices for this moment history. More than I can show in class. They asked for them all in one place...here they are. The podium points I promised are down below. Enjoy!

Declaration of Independence videos I like:
 
A music video from Soomo Publishing
 
The complete Declaration as interpreted by 90s/00s actors
 
This is from the musical 1776. A singing and dancing TJ, Adams and Franklin. What's not to love?
 
The best for last. The moment between when Georgia votes and the public reading ... they say so much without a word being spoken. Brilliant.
