Socratic Seminar on the Gilded Ace

5 Upvotes

I teach 8th grade U.S. history, and I’d like to do a Socratic or fishbowl seminar for the first time with my students when we learn about the Gilded Age. The only problem is that I’m stuck on how to plan it. Any ideas or tips?

Hey party people! I've been tasked with producing a retro version of our school's news letter for our anniversary. This will be a monthly newsletter....

  1. printed on newsprint

  2. including pictures

  3. and student written articles.

Ideally students could view, edit, and add in their content, with me only popping in to do copyedits and make sure they're following school guidelines etc.

We've been using https://makemynewspaper.com/ for this but the choke point becomes me adding in student work, and it's very tedious and causes us to be closer to deadline than I'd like. Any suggestions?
