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.

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.

Writers falsely assume that readers share an identical understanding and that just giving readers all the argument pieces will persuade them. Cognitive biases can fool the writer, but remedies exist to help writers break the curse and really reach their readers by avoiding jargon, by giving examples and explanations, and by chunking and super-chunking the information in bite-sized thoughts, etc.This animated GIF includes the academic explanation as well as a cartoon example.
