help us responding to folks in the chat box uh we do want to make the session interactive um so if you would you can go ahead and open up that chat box feel free to uh you know say hello tell us where you teach at um and again if you have questions as we're going through today's session please drop those questions in there all of our presenters will be responding to those um you also have the option of using the reaction buttons and you can locate those um towards the bottom of your zoom screen we're not doing any polling today but we do that occasionally in some of our sessions because we try to make these as interactive as possible um and we do have a padlet uh for this entire series and so you can find all of the resources that we've been sharing um in this discover tennessee history a webinar series on this palette page you can either use the link here or the qr code that's there will both take you um to that padlet so today's session is featuring the our partners at the east tennessee historical society um i'm going to turn things over to lisa oakley to get us started well thank you and i want to thank kira and everyone else that's part of our partnership across the state with the discover tennessee history consortium and this has been i think a really beneficial partnership and but the most important thing is that we're here for you all so when we first started thinking about this series of webinars we were at home like everyone else and thinking about well what can we do to still remain connected still be relevant and we thought well maybe this is one way that we can throughout the school year continue to be connected with with you and share the resources that we have but at that time in all honesty um here at the east tennessee historical society we weren't really sure what we would be offering to students um and what teachers would need at that time so we kind of just had a plug out there that we'll be doing something in the gallery about content related to the gallery somehow but we've actually gotten a little bit more um maybe inspired ideas from things that you all have been doing and things that our partners have been doing during the fall and looking towards the spring and so we're going to give you a highlight of not only some of the things we have online that are there consistently but that we continue to try to improve on and that we will be as we develop some of our student segments that layla smallwood's going to be talking to you about later on in the session wave to everybody layla she is in our gallery and she's going to be talking to you a little bit about what we're beginning to play ideas with how to work with students in the classroom but also that we're going to be producing some small brief segments with partners throughout east tennessee in the state so that we can start with an object or a story or a document here at the east tennessee historical society in east tennessee history center that would relate to your curriculum be of interest to you and your students and then not only talk about it here but also then um visit the place where it happens so to speak we know how that goes um that gets everybody excited and helps make a connection and tries to make things a little bit more active than just doing a tour through the gallery so we're we haven't done a lot of this yet it's pilot ideas so we will welcome your questions and your observations and suggestions so we'll be working with dave hearns and michael jordan here in just a minute and they're going to introduce you to blunt mansion as well as talk to you about what resources they have at blunt mansion and then we'll kind of conclude that segment talking about how we might partner together um it's just a concept right now but layla is busy already thinking about how this is going to come together certainly over the spring and we will be bringing things online and they will go on our website the website i will introduce you to is where all this will live um so anyway the east tennessee historical society many of you all are from other parts of the state i see familiar names and faces but we have new friends we are in downtown knoxville at the east tennessee history center which is right on gay street on the main thoroughfare in downtown knoxville and we're only about four blocks from blunt mansion so we share student groups during the school year and so we're great partners to begin with but at any rate um we're really glad that you're here with us virtually today and this is really nice because we can introduce who we are to folks across the state and we're able to do this through the support of humanities tennessee the website is supported by that we have a teacher in residence during the summer that is all sponsored by humanities tennessee as well and i encourage you to check them out they have all kinds of grant projects that you can apply for um they have teacher awards that they have um grant funds for and so um we're just really privileged to work with them and to work with everyone else that's part of discover tennessee history so again the east tennessee historical society is part of a history center with all kinds of primary sources and our museum of east tennessee history covers basically the frontier period all the way through to um world war ii fairly thoroughly and well and so that's what we'll be kind of referring to today but particularly in the frontier section so we're all about early statehood um frontier with a lot of what we're going to be featuring today but just think that even though we might be featuring one piece of content one partnership this is kind of directing towards what we're thinking about doing in the future so make suggestions on that too if there's something that you really wonder you know i'm having a hard time doing this in my classroom do you have anything that would relate to this aspect of tennessee history so please share that as well um so welcome we're thrilled to have you with us today and look forward to the day that you can come and visit us with your student groups or you know if you want to take a trip across the state and come to the history center we are open to the public right now um we have you know all the um safety measures in place so of course we can't have laws you know student groups aren't traveling here but if you do come through the region and want to stop we would love to have you and you're welcome to make image you know photographs video that sort of thing just let me know if you want to come to the museum and capture some stories yourself we welcome that and we'd be glad to facilitate some of that so use this as your inspiration as well as working with some of the museums in your own neighborhood i'm going to shut up now i'll have another opportunity to introduce some things again we're going to be working with layla smallwood she and i here at the east tennessee historical society are ready to work with you and your students virtually and then michael jordan and dave hearns are just right down the street at blount mansion the um basically where the state began that's territorial capital and i think i'll turn it to dave first and let him kind of conduct it from there between he and michael and we'll find out what blunt mansion's doing right now what they have to offer and then i'll kind of tie it together with how we might work together in the future dave thank you so much for joining us today it's my pleasure forgive me for not being super dressed up it's freezing cold here at the moment you know it's these 18th century houses um well blood mansion is the home of our first and only territorial governor william blunt from an education standpoint you know blunt is features uh in the tennessee history standards for the whole state and so on here from across you know across the state and we started video virtual tours was um was on the menu for us to um uh to help teachers um talk about blunt and talk about the the founding of the state of tennessee so at the moment i'm in our uh in our kitchen here on site and just to kind of give you an idea of some of the things that we're working on um are a series of videos and lesson plans to talk about the um well a wide variety of topics but specifically one of them one of the more more recent things we've been doing are specific offerings having to do with the enslaved peoples of the mansion so it's a very timely topic and i'm very proud to say lisa had a lot to do with uh doing a lot of the research that we had and was very groundbreaking research in the late 90s but we're trying to expand on that and expand on the way that we talk about the enslaved peoples of the mansion and the way that we are um uh including them in in the day-to-day story um so um at the uh uh recently we actually the thing that we're focusing on are physical reminders um and i don't know if anybody saw um the um the article that was done recently but we found fingerprints in some of the bricks here uh on site and that gives us a perfect physical reminder to base our um um and michael's put it up there for you to see um a perfect physical indication of the enslaved peoples that were here on site and so um we are using this as a catalyst to create video content to create content for teachers to use in the in the classroom and also to spark more um research which will drive more content down the road so um lisa can you hear me yes i sure can um you know i think that this is an area that we're really excited and partnering in because as you can see the scene right now on the screen that's eths education some of y'all might be able to say that see that i know we have it on speaker view but you can go out to your gallery if you need to find it but we do have objects in the gallery that come from the archaeological investigation you see the small pieces that are in the exhibit case those archaeological artifacts came from the excavation of the slave quarters at blunt mansion and so this example where we'll start with um you know artifacts that are in our collection or in our exhibit and then be able to go out to michael and dave and let them talk about where those things came from and how it fits to the story there um and dave anything you want to follow up on that well um you know the the amount of artifacts that were were taken out of the ground not 15 20 feet behind me on the other side of this chimney um really were a window into the lives of the enslaved peoples of the mansion so there's a lot that we can say about those that show um basically we can talk about day-to-day life and so um you know there's pottery there's beads there's there's a lot of different items that we can talk about that really put a human face on some on people who you know probably died sometime in the early 19th century so it's um it makes it relevant to the students and it might not be that it's it ties clearly and directly to something that you're you know to the wording and standard but just to place something in context and show the students and do a little bit of artifact reading but just getting a sense in a context through you know seeing a place if they can't if we can't physically get there which we would love for you to physically get here but if that can't we're going to try to make it come to life as much as possible yeah but any kind of connection that you can make between for your students that is between the the life they the students lead today and the lives of people in the you know in whatever time period you're studying always is going to make it stick you know and make the subject stick that much more so and i know that you michael was wanting to kind of one of the other things but you know let me just say that one of the things that we at the east tennessee historical society feel that's one of our goals and one of our missions is to connect people not only that they come to the museum but connect them to historical sites organizations family groups museums across the region so they can start here and go wherever in the region that will help make that personal that story and so we hope to be able to continue that mission through the things we do virtually so this is just kind of a snippet um you know we don't know yet what this will look like but it'll have both components what we have at the east tennessee historical society and center and layla's going to talk to you a little bit more here towards the end of our visit together and she'll be talking to you how we've already started pulling some lessons together and so just imagine that it'll be a twofer and we'll have a segment up that'll be both at the museum and at blunt mansion featuring the story of the enslaved peoples um and how we've documented that story and maybe even about the constitution and about the other things that you all have and offer at blunt mansion and um dave i didn't know if you and michael wanted to highlight some of the things that you are michael michael let me share a screen with you here my name is michael i am the director of marketing and public relations at blind mansion so blunt mansion as dave said it's a circa 1792 house museum in downtown knoxville was built for william blount he was a signer of the us constitution from north carolina and this is from his instagram feed on the day that they signed the constitution just kidding there's a signature on the signature page of the constitution so blot was appointed by george washington to manage the federal territory that became tennessee and he had to make peace with all the native american tribes that were there so native americans could come in so we're able to tell a story about the uh negotiations that happened between the settlers and native americans but uh the thing that really sets splunk mansion apart is it's its place as the birthplace of tennessee and this wooden desk that we have in governor blunt's office is the actual desk that the tennessee constitution was signed on in 1796 and bear in mind that tennessee will be 225 years old this june 1st that's the 225th anniversary of the admission of the state into the union and so that's why we're a national historic landmark what you would see if you were to come is beautiful spaces like this and we tried to do virtual tours and you know the technology just fails this and there's nothing like a zoom tour to board the heck out of a student so we quickly realized that we needed to up our game and create online offerings that would allow teachers to build their own experiences and by the way too we have the only garden in downtown knoxville so blunt mansion is a beautiful place to be at any time of year but what we have added virtually let me share this with you sorry i've got too many screens open here we go this is our website and it's just bluntmansion.org and i will put that in the chat in just a minute if you go over to the education tab and click on resources we've started doing our own video presentations that didn't give you uh here's a 20 minute virtual guided tour but we're also building artifact videos and uh lisa and layla we'll be glad to work with you all to create partner videos that are professionally produced that talk about things you can see at the eths and you can see the something that's related to it at blunt mansion and how they come together so here's a video about a reverse glass painting of george washington or a fascinating jug that's really rare but if you uh look above it here it says constitution onnection and this ties specifically to our our relevance to the constitution as the only home of a constitutional signer in tennessee or anywhere outside the original 13 states and just today we added a video where uh stuart harris who's a constitutional law professor in knoxville does a four minute talk about the constitution for students fourth grade and up so we're working hard to build content that is uh accessible to students and one last point that i'll make is if you go to the history tab there's in family members and enslaved persons and if you click on enslaved persons this is something we're really proud of this is based on lisa oakley's early 1990s research on the enslaved people who lived and worked at block mansion so we've had an artist create conjectural silhouettes uh kind of modeled after what mount vernon has done and you can learn about each of the people that lisa's research uncovered and we're going to work this into our exhibits and our programming too so uh there are you know this is a way that we can connect documents and the research that lisa did to the actual place and then the artifacts that are at eths and we also have uh brand new high definition scans of the original 18th century documents that the research was based on so we envisioned maybe even being able to create virtual activities where students can look at source documents and learn how they lead historians to write things like this and understand what they see at the site and you know i think what's really important for all of us to realize is that um there are a lot of museums and historical sites state parks organizations across state and in your own community who have resources that perhaps um they might not have staff that's developed the materials that that they have at blunt mansion blood mansion is an important and significant state level site and national level site but um you know think about reaching out and again you've seen some of the things that black mansion's been able to develop not everybody has those already on their sites or they might not have the staff to be able to do that but perhaps there's a way that you can go and capture you know a story through even with your iphone or with making photographs share it back with that organization and with that museum and see how you can grow something so i think you all done an incredible job how many staff full-time staff do you have now you got two yeah we had we had one and a half up until january first and now we have two full-time staff yeah and so congratulations i mean great resources and um let's just give a second to see if if you have a question because they might not be able to stay on for the whole program but if anybody has a question for dave or for michael or for blunt mansion go ahead and place it in the chat and we'll make sure that we get that question answered or we can forward questions on as well and we do have the website put up michael got that put up and again we look forward to in the future kind of telling the that extending that story about the um enslaved peoples to where we have primary source material from the history center paired with the visit to blunt mansion so that the kids can study an artifact study some documents and then pairing that with actually going and seeing the kitchen and you know introducing the story of isabel isabella and you know nan and and cupid and you know the the folks that lived there and made blunt mansion work and function so um anyway anything else that y'all want to share with us before we go on to looking at some website stuff well we're always we're always interested in feedback from teachers so anything anything that teachers have to um that want us to know would like us to create would like us to do um we're always listening and so feedback is very very important to us and we um um it's we're not idle on it we when somebody has something to say we generally try to incorporate it or create it and the other point to make is that this blunt mansion is where tennessee starts so our story is part of your standards it's fifth grade second semester in particular but the whole story of tennessee relates to blind mansion so it's it's relevant to everything you teach statewide it's not just for knox county students exactly yeah and i dave's in the kitchen we actually shot another video uh just a couple months ago how to cook a historic dish in the kitchen and we have a recipe that we can share with teachers in an easy set of ingredients you can actually cook it with your students or in the case of a school down the street from us they sent it home with the kids for thanksgiving so the kids uh got to eat it at school and then they went home and cooked it with their parents so we're excited about ways that we can make history accessible and you know tangible for kids too well i thank you all both so much um and i think it's really interesting because a lot of us in historic homes and in museums you know kept thinking oh well one day we'll do this and one day we'll do this video and one day we'll do this virtual whatever well that one day hit real soon and so i think y'all been able to pull together some really creative ideas and thank you all for your hard work so um any questions i didn't see anything posted but we'll relay questions if there are any and um folks i'm sure will be interested in seeing what we pulled together so thank you all so much no worries thanks for the opportunity lisa all right y'all take care you too okay so um this is just an example of one of our partners um that we work with through the historical society and now i'm going to just take a minute to show you some of our online materials one of the i think one of the last sessions or the state museum session that was just incredibly done about teaching heart history in the classroom which i just want to you know i think all the sessions have been incredible that we've offered but i really appreciate the hard work and the teacher's input on that session if you didn't have a chance to see it we have recorded them um but one of the teachers mentioned actually i was tickled she mentioned our website as having information on tennessee history if you're looking for content if you're looking for resources for your for your students so what i'm going to do is i'm going to share my screen hopefully everything functions okay and i'm going to go out i have to clear that out and i'm pulling up the padlet so i hope everybody can see that and what i'm going to be doing is we have under our session here um just about everything we're going to be referring to is on the padlet and so you'll see me kind of navigating through the padlet because i just want everybody to get familiar with it but just to begin with i wanted to show you um the teach tennessee history education web page and so i'm going to click on that and this is a web page that we have been developing it actually started many years ago in the early 2000s as a grant project the teaching american history grants that we were able to work with school districts here in east tennessee we had teachers developing materials in fact that's where kyra and i first worked together she worked with us on our first teaching american history grant and so teachers were starting to put materials up on a website for that and then about 2014 we took that website and really made it user friendly for all teachers across the state to use and rebecca byrd from sevier county is kind of the webmaster on that she's the person that kind of keeps it up to date and functioning and so every summer she works on it and two summers ago we had we developed and she worked on what we call our tennessee history text and i'll just open that up it's in two sections and it's not real pretty it's basically a pdf um we have some introductory pages to it and this is through the support of humanities tennessee we're very grateful to them we have a table of contents and then it just starts out volume one prehistoric tennessee it's got footnotes so you can go find more information from museums from the student blue book that the tennessee state library and archives has also developed which rebecca edited for them um and it's like i said it's not real attractive but this this is a source that you can use to go and find get your bearings with tennessee history and it's all coordinated she spent time on the things that are in the standards so it might seem like it jumps around a little bit or it might be abbreviated on one thing but that's because there's less time spent on that in the standards so just wanted to make sure that everybody realized um that this great source is there um and we're thankful for it and thankful for her her hard work on that i'm gonna have to move this down so i can actually see where i am and so you have two sections of that and simply on our website it's just tennessee history text we always try to figure out well what should we name things and we all can always come down to the fact that you know what we should just name it what it obviously is um and also our artifact lessons we're going to find out more about our artifact cards when layla works with you all here in a little bit and they're found on this link artifact lessons you just click on it and go down the page and we have artifact cards for you and she also has a link on the padlet that goes directly to these and she's going to tell you some more about these shortly but they can be done used again they cover a lot of different content the artifacts are objects the images on each card are objects from our gallery space so some of these things will have these little videos that we're developing to go with but they can be good for center work for extension activities any number of things you can probably imagine things beyond what i could on how they work and as you look there are they go all the way up to the 1960s so that's also on our website just under artifact lessons the workshop materials is kind of a hodgepodge because this is the landing page i use when i do teacher workshops to go back and forth with lessons activities so they might we've got them divided out um by era and as you can see they're kind of random and that's because you know it'll be a lesson i'm doing for a workshop for someone else that is kind of a random piece but go through and take a look at some of these lessons rebecca has done a great job of watching me do something in a session and then she'll develop a lesson plan for it um she said you know what they can't all take you to the class with them so it's got to be able to be replicated so she's done a good job and also created some things and i know that i don't know if she'll have a chance to talk about it right now but layla um has was looking at the frontier figures bell ringer for some of our lessons so that we're going to be doing virtually so anyway the teacher workshop is just something to explore and take a look at you can look here on the left we also have things about buying historic objects teaching history with children's books so it is random the last thing that i will mention here before we talk about gap lessons are our curriculum materials so they are by era and let me just click on american revolution we develop there is an essay for all of the items that actually in the prior standards that were much even more detailed than these on tennessee topics and people we developed an essay that addressed most of the main people and places and events that are mentioned in the tennessee history standards or the i should say in the social studies standards that relate to tennessee so we also kind of let these essays inspire the teacher text these are just broken out into an essay format so browse through those and we also pulled some of the lesson activities from that workshop page um to the different areas that they relate to so each one of these landing pages for any one of these eras should have some interesting things to be you know to think of to throw into a lesson you're doing or we had to actually develop a map that we could use sometimes we have to create something because we can't figure out how to do it you know can't find it somewhere else or having a challenge in the classroom i'm sure that you understand that so just take a look at these when you're coming up to a new era that you're working with or a new topic need background information go to our teacher text if you want to see if there's something more specific or a lesson on it or a new idea then go out to the curriculum materials into the appropriate era and then um we also were thinking during the spring that there's going to be a challenge at the beginning of school year with gaps with the students that were out of the classroom in the spring you know what maybe did they not catch up to coming into a new year especially with some of the curriculum changes so rebecca made it kind of pull some materials together here by topic that will again pull material from other places on our website and plus she has provided an answer key so you can kind of use the materials here on this gap lessons gap learning and gap lessons these are things that aren't like to inspire you and you figure out how to do it she's tried to make these into activities you can actually immediately use in your classroom um and as you can see it goes through all the different eras so that's our website there's also some information about national history day because we sponsor the east tennessee regional competition so if you want any more information on any of that you can let me know i want to take just a couple more minutes let me go up to the and again the navigation is all just right here on the left um if you have questions about any of that we can answer those for you at the end um or just put it in the chat box and we'll get back to it um towards the bottom here we have more information on history day but also we link out to the historical societies web website for information about our upcoming workshops that we sponsor as well as have links to partner workshops that we're involved in and um that link will actually show you there's a whole other website for the east tennessee historical society that shows you events and programs information about our museum education is only a very small part of that but this link is where you find our student program information as well so we have a lot online to offer and i know that that's kind of confusing but just to go back to the padlet you can see again that both those websites this is the historical society's website that has our student program information and then this is our teach tn tnhistory.org website that i just showed you the last thing that i want to mention and then layla will talk to you about our facebook page the other thing that we did when we were all working from home remotely trying to figure out number one how are we going to connect as a staff and work well we all got introduced to zoom and so we thought well this zoom thing is kind of interesting will it help us connect with our members and correct and connect with the public and again like i said earlier one of our main missions is to um open people up to all the historical resources in east tennessee not just come to the museum not just become a member and get our publications but actually go visit and go learn about the stories in east tennessee where they happen and so we decided to zoom through east tennessee so we did these little virtual visits i don't know if you all know how many people it takes to put on a zoom program but at least three so we have at that time there were about four of us as a senior staff that were doing things so we all got on the computers and we all had different jobs they were also facebook live at the same time and we just started visiting sites and museums across the region and um they're not you know high art but they're a lot of fun sometimes the sound quality is kind of off but um you can see that we have quite a number of them whoops they don't need to go all the way out but you can see we've been to the birthplace of country music we've been to we did our marching to victory suffrage exhibit that's here we did the craighead jackson house which is part of what man ion's campus there we've been to a lot of different places we also did our black and white exhibit and i don't know if we have it posted yet but we just have a lot of fun stuff i was trying to see if i can get back out well i lost it but at any rate um we have a lot of other things there too and there's actually a couple of very good national history day documentaries that have won um national medals um and so we have those on there it's just some random stuff but we got all this random stuff that we had stored away and we thought well we'll put that up on the youtube channel and we'll also um create and put our zoom our zoom visits um out there as well so those might be fun in your classroom most of those are about as you can see they're about 40 minutes but some of that's introduction so you can kind of zoom past it if you will and then the end is usually question answer so the actual heart to the visit is usually about 30 minutes so i wanted to make you aware of those um and again going back to the padlet everything is right there for you and i think what i will do from there is kind of get reoriented a little bit i'm going to stop my share for just a second um and i'm going to introduce layla smallwood layla is our education program manager and she has been here all of has it been two weeks now a little over a week i started on the fourth so he already has developed a program that will be done tomorrow um a virtual program with one of our elementary schools so she's going to talk to you a little bit about that process so i just want to say congratulations and thank you you've done an incredible job with that is there anything you want to um clarify that i have talked about or anything that you want to refer to that we've already talked about before you get started and then i'll show you here in a minute to show the things that you want to share yeah i think we're just going to go straight into what we're doing i do want to warn you guys that i'm working off of two computers because i'm reading the chat on my own computer and then working off of the ipad so i can move you around so if you see me looking down it's because i'm reading your chat messages so just kind of hang with me on that can everybody hear me okay awesome okay so um like lisa said my name is layla smallwood i'll be working with the school programming here i'm super excited to be with you all today thanks for powering through the afternoon and being with us um so we're focusing on what i'm talking about today is um school programming that's standard specific at first so we're going to look at standard specific programming and then some stuff that we're going to offer virtually that's um going to be aligned to standards you can pick and choose what you want so our main goals in this like lisa said earlier we want to make virtual learning fun engaging and accessible that's what we're looking for how can we make this work for students and for teachers in the virtual world and in the in-person world so the activity i'm sharing with you today like lisa said we're gonna do this tomorrow so we'll see how it goes um we're gonna be working with fourth grade students they're so much fun um so the activity i'm sharing with you guys today is for a fourth grade classroom a local fourth grade classroom so just we're gonna go through this activity um not all the way but i will show you some of the strategies and we're just going to kind of talk through it and then move on to a few virtual programming ideas um so the standards we're working with we they gave us two we're just kind of picking from the two what we're going to talk about based on our museum stuff and based on the tennessee connection so we're working with a standard that asks students to identify the major causes of the war of 1812. we're also working with a standard that asks students to know about the significance or point to the significant parts of jackson's presidency like indian removal like the trail of tears and um keeping the union together so those are the three pieces that we're kind of looking at with this um the standards as you guys know they usually have like 19 different bullet points under one standard um but we're just going to focus on like the broader piece here so um with these standards we're going to start with these students and ask them to look at two images so lisa's gonna share two images with you guys this is on the padlet linked as well it's a canva document so you can look at it you can print it whatever you need to do you have access to it without logging in um so what i want you guys to do we're going to do just a basic i always do this a see no wonder activity because i say this every time it's something everybody can come to the table and do so your students may not know who these people are but they can tell us what they see right they can come no matter what their ability level is no matter what grade level we're teaching they can tell you what they see on the screen i'm sorry guys i'm a hand talker i'm struggling um so on this screen here in the chat box let's focus on this first top picture here what do you think your students would notice first he's very thin no smile the hat are we looking at the first or the second picture a very serious man yeah he's very stoic right almost yeah he has a long skinny face good fancy dress yeah good so these are all things that students can kind of pick out immediately now let's look at that second picture the picture on the bottom what do you think your students would notice first the hat yeah good awesome hat i know his clothes right he has some kind of native american clothing like a frontiersman clothing animals the dogs good so these are all things that our students would notice first right the rifle and the gun yes good eye it's a color image versus the black and white yeah there might have been a color jpeg for the top one i didn't find it um good so we have sideburns good high school students would definitely notice that good so we see a uniform up top all right good so we obviously know who these two men are i'm sure you guys are familiar with these two men but your students might not know right so we did the c part of this we've observed the picture we haven't brought in any background knowledge but no now you know who these men are put in the chat box for me jackson and crockett correct we're talking about two men who have tennessee connections today so our students may not know this we may have if you guys have done this before which i'm sure you have that no column might be pretty slim we may not have much there yet but we can always go back and edit at the end of the lesson that's the great thing about checking for understanding activities good so what questions because we have to see know and wonder what questions do you think your students might have about either one of these pictures didn't these guys not like each other okay your students may not know that but that's a good question we're going to kind of get into that why is he dressed in buckskin good let's see anything else any other questions we can think of somebody mentioned the military garb and the top like that fancy garb up the outfit why are they important good why are we talking about these two men um good so yeah this is an activity that i'm going to use with these fourth grade students to kind of get them into this topic we're going to talk about andrew jackson and david crockett and how they are both intertwined starting with the war of 1812 all the way up through indian removal we see their lives kind of intertwined in their political decisions and the way they butt heads and disagree good so we'd go all the way through this chart um this you know wonder chart on the second page there and this is linked on the padlet as well this is something you can tell your students to draw you can give them a version of this on the whiteboard tell them to write it down or you can print this off whatever is easiest for you um so after we do that um we might use some probing questions for that wonder um what jobs do you think these two men have based on their clothing why do you think they're important um stuff like that so we'll be trying to use similar questions to gauge that prior knowledge engage that ability level and grade level understanding so we can kind of guide the rest of the lesson throughout these activities we've also created this venn diagram here um i'm a crazy organized notetaker i have to have every single thing like written down so if my students need that i like to provide that for them so while we're talking you know andrew jackson we know he was a president maybe your students say that we can write president there i said they're both significant to tennessee they could write that in the middle david crockett was a frontiersman we can kind of go through the lesson and they can add what they need throughout if they need to go back to it later on for studying for talking about another topic things like that so um just something for them to organize their thoughts because i'm always that organization so um after analyzing the two images using the c no wonder and the venn diagram if your students feel like they need it um we would briefly go into the um their roles during the war of 1812 we discussed how andrew jackson was a general david crockett was a soldier they're both fighting in these battles um and their relationship also after the war regarding policies on indian removal so we'd go into that whole relationship and how it intertwines um so during this relationship when we talk about the war of 1812 we would feature a few artifacts um so here's a piece that you might see when we did this you can al we'll get closer to it we do our lessons and stuff like that but that is actually a flag from the battle of horseshoe horseshoe bend that was um flown by the uh 39th tennessee regiment so we'd show artifacts like that to connect that these people were fighting alongside david crockett and alongside andrew jackson to make those connections to people and have them see an artifact that they can pull from um so we also after kind of talking about their relationships their connections um or while we're doing that excuse me we've created a bingo card so this bingo card i have four different variations it's linked on the padlet that's just so you don't have 50 kids to get no bingo at once you can have a little bit of variety within but as we're doing this activity tomorrow with students and talking about andrew jackson and talking about david crockett and how they're important from the war of 1812 up until the end of jackson's presidency up until removal when david david crockett goes to texas right so they're going to have this bingo sheet that they can stay actively engaged with and mark off things as they're going and just kind of organize their thoughts a little bit more um just so they know keywords as we're going through so all these bingo cards have the same words on them it's just like i said a different variation so you're not hearing bingo a hundred times in one minute um so this is something that we're going to be doing tomorrow um just kind of to keep up with engagement as we're doing this lesson uh we're planning to introduce the trail of tears um as a result of indian removal but we're not this is only a 45 minute lesson we have with fourth graders so anybody who teaches understands 45 minutes has gone so quickly you can blink and it's gone right so um we're planning to introduce that but uh the trail appears as a result of the indian removal act um but we're not going to go into that we're going to leave that to teachers and that's up to you too if you want to do programming with with us we're happy to tailor it to your standards and what you would like us to teach and focus on so um like i said during that programming we'll be sharing images of crockett and jackson and encouraging students to like analyze those images and ask and answer their own questions throughout the charts and note catchers are just there to organize their thoughts maybe go back to them if they have a test or to study or to review things like that and the bingo sheet is just there to keep them engaged but these are all linked on our padlets um in addition to all these activities like i said we'll be featuring the artifacts of this over here we also i'm going to turn you guys have david crockett's rifle betsy right here that will be featuring in the activity tomorrow so there are always ways to work in artifacts in these lessons let's see so we're happy like i said to offer these virtual programmings for you teachers um using our artifacts in the museum using documents primary sources things like that if you have a question about a specific standard you want taught or a cost or if we have this in our gallery if we have it in any of these exhibitions just send us an email i'm going to put our emails in the chat box after i finish up here okay so another thing that we're going to do and lisa talked about this a lot already so i won't go too much into it but we're going to do virtual field trips and partner with um local institutions and sites and kind of investigate whether it's an artifact or um a site here kind of investigate that local history piece um we're going to be offering teachers and students virtual field trip programming to explore sites and artifacts throughout um we're hoping to create investigative short five to ten minute videos for you guys because who can watch a 40-minute video every i can't i can't stay focused for that long and i know our students can't either so something quick and short you can show your students that fits to your standards um we would like to make these as interactive as possible uh we're going to use artifacts in our gallery and kind of will you around go behind the scenes and show you these pieces lincoln primary source documents um lincoln physical sites so material culture like landscapes things like that we can bring in for you and your students to make this virtual all this is going to be those virtual field trips are going to be free on our website i'm going to do it on facebook live a lot of times and then we'll put it on our youtube page and also on our tennessee htn history.org page so that's something you can use um as you need in your class whether well when it fits to your curriculum things like that see so we would love to know what artifacts and standards you'd like us to feature um as we pilot this new program so please give us some feedback in that survey at the end and let us know what will work for your curriculum so the final thing i want to share with you guys is i'll be sharing a few fun posts each week like i said those artifact posts it'll all kind of revolve around those virtual field trips and those artifacts posts and we'll have like a post at the end of the week to bring it all together so last week we didn't we're not starting this program until next monday so last week we decided to do something kind of fun and talk about the battle of new orleans it was january 8th we were commemorating that day so we did a handout here and this is what i'm thinking a lot of our friday pull it all together for the artifact and virtual field trip investigations will look like we'll have some context here a fun fact or a did you know or way students can interact with sources and then on the next page we have an activity so this activity involves students looking at the lyrics and listening to the music to the song the battle of new orleans and considering a few questions as they go through so something you can just add in to um kind of engage students a little bit more allow them to have some um autonomy in the classroom by listening to these lyrics and looking at excuse me listening to the music and reading the lyrics um things like that so i think these are going to be kind of our posts on fridays are going to be kind of similar to that and they're going to all revolve around those artifact posts those virtual field trip posts so be looking for those on our eths facebook page starting next week let's see so if you have suggestions or topics like i said please send us um suggestions please let us know what will work for you in your curriculum nd how we can better serve you and your students throughout this spring semester all right guys thank you so much for being with us today uh like i said i'll drop my email and lisa's email in the chat box for you all if you want to contact us and please be sure to complete the survey give us some feedback about your programming once and needs so we can know how to better serve you and your students this spring thanks and thank you laila you did an incredible job with that and i mean she basically did that in a week pulling together the ideas but that's what um bringing together educators that you all have been having to do this you've been having to figure out how do i best bridge this um screen gap this screen barrier between my students and myself and with them with each other and so we're really trying to kind of mix it up we did work with teachers um at the elementary school that is going to be visiting with us and so the one of the keys to this is that they're going to be active while we're doing what we're doing they have the outline they have the materials so that they're helping to facilitate things in the classroom so please realize that if you want something to be successful working with one of us as an institution or anyone else that you're inviting into your classroom to do a virtual program see how you might be able to work together be aware of what it is that they're doing and maybe you can think of a graphic organizer or something that the students can be doing the teachers are actually going to work with their students with white boards because they they have hybrid classrooms so they have some of the kids sitting in the room and then some of the kids virtual so they're having the kids that are virtual to actually you know they'll do their work aware and hold it up so the other kid or if they have a question or an answer or something they use whiteboards individual whiteboards to share so you know think about how you can make this one you know one effort on the part of everyone so the venn diagram was actually the teacher's suggestion and they're going to have we we are providing i mean we provided the graphic and the kids will have individual ones and the teachers also going to have a master at the front of the class so um the teacher role i mean we we depend on you all to help us make it the best we can be and we also know that this is a pilot most of us are just trying things for the first time but obviously we are here to respond to the things that you may need and for us as a partner in this consortium we have museum and primary source materials we also have connections to the region and we're happy to complement what you might have offered through another institution as well but everyone um that's a part of the discover tennessee history i hope that you've gotten a sense that we all have a lot to offer and we're just interested in helping you however we can and on the website she mentioned the some of the artifacts like the flag and like the rifle she gave you a link on the padlet as well as on our website on those artifact cards each of those there's a card for we have a card for the flag we have a card for the rifle um so you know that might be something you can immediately do is go and see how you can best use those we have hard copies of those um if you're in the region and want to pick up a set of hard copies i need to get a couple of cases of them or if you would like for us to get them to you um we do have some hard hard copy sets of those thanks to a grant from comcast that we're able to work with so i think that kind of gets at the main things we wanted to share please if you have questions for us or anything that you want to suggest for the good of the group please include it in the chat we've talked a lot we've shared a lot of perhaps ideas she also layla just posted our email addresses she also posted the link for the teach tnhistory.org website going directly to the artifact cards the padlet is up for all the institutions that we've been having our webinar series we all have a date with our links there but please when you find something you like off of the padlet from any of us bookmark it so that you don't have to always go back to the padlet and it can be something that you can go to easily from your home page that you work from um any questions from anyone or kyra anything you can think to add to it and we all want to thank kira duke she's our she's
