12 Unknown, Influential African Americans
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th and Frederick Douglass was born on February 14th. Lincoln and Douglass were two great Americans who helped to shape and define this country, and, as a result, their birthdays were celebrated independently in circles and communities since the mid-to-late 1800’s. It is thought that Carter G. Woodson embraced the importance of the second week in February when he introduced “Negro History Week” to celebrate the invaluable contributions of African Americans.

Building Empathy In Your Students
"Empathy starts with putting yourself in someone else's shoes -- a key step in understanding perspectives that differ from your own. This isn't just a nice thing to do; it's an essential, active skill. It's foundational to embracing differences, building relationships, gaining a global perspective, conducting richer and deeper analysis, and communicating more effectively. This skill is about as "21st century" as it gets.” - EdutopiaComplete mini-lesson with activities for conducting an independe

Inference Higher Order Thinking Lesson
Thank you for your consideration in purchasing the lesson on inference. We are pushed to incorporate higher order thinking skills in all classes regardless of the level at which we teach. What many school officials do not consider is that when we have younger or lower level classes, these skills have to be taught explicitly. Therefore, I have put together a whole lesson from top to bottom that teaches the skill of inference thoroughly.
