SCHEDULE AND GRADES Ms. Gibson, I did my homework. I can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about indentured servants and the contracts they signed. I’ve got just one question for you: why should I care about all of this political contract stuff? Because, Raulie, you signed a contract too! You were born into a society. By remaining a member of this society, you have tacitly agreed to a contract. Add this to your Vocabulary sheet: Social Contract: A voluntary agreement you enter into with other members of the society by which you give up some freedoms in order to enjoy certain protections.
Living Circumstances for Serfs and Indentured Servants Compare & Contrast Categories Comparing Serfs and Indentured Servants Indentured Servants Serfs Obligation to work Features For period of three to six years, 10 to 15 yr olds had to work until they were 21. Borrowed cost of his passage by signing a contract to work for a master. Bound to work for lord for life. Had to support manor. Living conditions Had to give fruits of labor to lord, little education, never left manor. Voyage to colonies was terrible, contracts could be bought and sold, servants whipped, little food, for both men and women. Accepted situation because some were working off debts from home. Employers When wealthy land owners contacted servant labor to grow tobacco they received additional land (50 acres) for each person whose passage they paid. Lords dependent on labor of serfs. Oversaw all aspects of their lives.
Ask students to bring pictures of found-math and grammar mistakes Pineapples are examples of Fibonacci numbers! See the clockwise and counterclockwise spirals? There are 13 spirals that turn clockwise and 21 curving counterclockwise. I also saw this on some sunflowers, where the petals were always consecutive Fibonacci numbers like 21 and 34 or 55 and 34.
Found Grammar (Mistakes) On many a garment bag: To avoid suffocation, keep away from children. On a California freeway: Fine For Littering. In a restaurant: Half baked chicken Sign in a shop window: OPEN SOON / DEATH IN FAMILY / PROBABLY MONDAY. In the window of a Kentucky appliance store: Don 't kill your wife. Let our washing machines do the dirty work. Taped to a cash register in a convenience store:No Checks Excepted!No Acceptions! Can it be a mistake that stressed is desserts spelled backwards?
Ask students to bring you images to inspire their free-write and journal responses

Why we don’t chew gum in Ms. Gibson’s class…. Chewing chewing chewing doesn’t make you look very smart…. …It also wears down your teeth and often “appears” under desks…. …and you’ll earn a detention every time you chew gum during class….
Respect other’s creativity. Have zero tolerance for rude people or time-wasters. Be itive!

Picture of students modeling reflective reading • Vocabulary • Acknowledging when you’re distracted reading and not thinking, reading but multi-thinking, (thinking about something else) affective filter-emotions • Background • Camera • Vary your reading speed-in order to comprehend-too slow=less comprehension don’t be afraid to read faster but don’t forget to slow down for new concepts, ideas, vocab. • Questions clarification or rhetorical • Predictions • Expressing opinions • Epiphanies • Rereading • Summarizing/backtracking while reading • Define relevance to whole or parts of story (make connections)
Imagine you need to teach a comparison Federalists (Hamilton) • Favored strong, centralized government • Horrified by bloodiness and excesses of the French Revolution • Created a national bank • Promoted industry and manufacturing Republicans (Jefferson) • Favored limited federal government • Refused to abandon the cause of liberty and stayed sympathetic to France • Supported states’ rights • Emphasized agricultural society
Can you imagine what Congress might look like as they work together to pass a bill?
You see, cane-wielding Roger Griswold, a Federalist from Connecticut (and future chairman of Ways and Means) attacked Matthew Lyons of Vermont on the House floor. Is this what you were expecting?
Remember how our revolution inspired theFrench to have one of their own too? W ell let’s just say theirs got a little out of control.Congress was debating how to respond toFrench impressment ofAmerican ships.
Enlightenment Thinking And if God isn’t causing each thing to happen…then he didn’t pick the king! There isn’t any “divine right” ! We just agreed (through a social contact) that the king could rule us. That means…if we don’t like the king…we don’t have to do what he says. We can rebel against unfair laws!
An insulting remark from Griswold drew retaliation from Lyon: He spit a stream of tobacco juice in Griswold's face! Congress was debating how to respond to French impressment of American ships.
A month later, denied legal redress, a frustrated Griswold walked up behind Lyon and began beating him with a cane. Lyon grabbed fire tons and flailed back. The brawl threw the House into an uproar, vividly exposing the emotional pitch of partisan feeling in Congress in the 1790's.
The people can be trusted! Each state should be free to make laws that reflect the values of its’ citizens! France is an example of what could happen without strong central government guiding us! Now it’s your turn to make them talk!

Tools you’ll need • A basic understanding of PowerPoint • A digital camera • A trial membership for Unitedstreaming.com (email (Who?) if you’d like the district to subscribe to this service.) • PowerPoint functional on your students’ laptops • An LCD projector • Appropriate music and visual aids
PowerPoint Can Be More Brain-Compatible • The Macintosh interface revolutionized computers as a more user-friendly format • PowerPoint need not be a lecture format. • Instead, it can be non-linear, interest-based and self-directed. • Hyperlinks create an interactive table of contents.
Students can Interact with the Show • Use student photos to re-enact conversations and “Ah-ha!” moments • Ask students to share prior knowledge by writing “through a slide” on the dry erase board
Use Multiple Intelligences Draw: During a show, click ctrl “p” to write on slides Logical/Spatial: Remind students of multiple perspectives through looking at images together or let students guide themselves through a photographic table of contents Visual: Not only can PowerPoint be a self-teaching unit, but students can also create their own units. (See CD student samples) Kinesthetic: Dance to act out moods or create frozen tableaus in front of images. Auditory: Listen to lyrics and mood of songs to place them historically
You can make the simplest classroom rules memorable • Insert humor into basic rules to make them memorable • Combine found images from Google and animation. • Time your presentations to let the reader take in information in a relaxed manner. • Use visual cues to enforce ideas.
Jeopardy and Interactive Games • Show templates are easy to create and update • Let students make-up questions and games to play against each other for review
