I try to be non-controversial on this thing, bringing joy whenever possible. However, I just had Raising Cane's for the first time and it was the biggest waste of $15 in my life. Small, tasteless tenders. I could have had like 4 Double-Doubles!

@JustinWolfers I took circular flow out after my first run of Econ after asking myself these very questions. It's like taking a completely obvious concept and making in needlessly complex (which I know is kind of our thing as economists!)

In this awesome learning game about human capital students choose their character then interview for a job as that character. Super fun! Full lesson plan included! (30/31) #sschat

Day 28: Unit in a Bag - 5 paragraph essay? No way. 5 paragraphs about modern objects? Sure, they'll write that! Great vocabulary activity, updated to work with any subject.

Day 26 of 31 is one of my faves - Time Warp: The Explorers where students play out historical stories learning how difficult exploration was. I have students play in pairs and record their failures. It rocks! #sschat #tlap

It's the final week of 31 days of free lessons. Today's is a simple, story-driven investigation into a mysterious Mayan temple that students always love. Easy doesn't mean bad! #sschat (25 of 31)

Day 22 is part 3 of my media unit. In this lesson, students examine new media and algorithms, particularly TikTok. If you haven't seen why it is so addictive, this lesson is for you! #sschat
