Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 , This sounds like a trip of a lifetime. I am fascinated by anything to do with other cultures. I am a Social Studies teacher for the first time this year, and we will be studying India soon. We were just talking about Mexico City being one of the most populated cities in the world, when a kid whipped out a table he had in his binder that was more up-to-date than our textbook. It said Mumbai was the #1 most populated city in the world, with Mexico City now in #10. I followed the link you gave and looked at the pink hats. I will show that link to my 6th grade students when we get there. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi Elisa, So glad you enjoyed his blog. I quit teaching ( 8th grade Language Arts) when I was first diagnosed but my favorite website for lesson plans , especially for Social Studies was the New York Times Learning Connection. It is a free service for teachers and has great current events to suppliment your textbook. Have you ever tried it? Take care- R.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 , Thanks for that site! I also taught Language Arts for 9 years, and am finding this so less stressful. World Cultures.......what could be better? I am just praying to get through this school year healthy. I can retire with full benefits (such as that is) mid semester of next school year. Take care of you!
