Start the Year . . . (#start-the-year)
Fast forward two and a half months . . . your students are heading back into the classroom. Their summer has been filled with what they want – likely media, friends, relaxation
You now have to compete with that. While there is some excitement to be back among friends, don’t fool yourself . . . they don’t want to be back in your classroom.
Performance Education, with your help, is going to make a splash at the beginning of the new school year!
We’ve got some things we’re working on that we will be announcing over the weeks of the summer, but for now we need your help.
We want to collect articles from over the summer that may help pique the interest of your students at the beginning of the year.
For example . . .
What really happened to Amelia Earhart? http://www.freep.com/videonetwork/1674526812001?odyssey=mod|tvideo2|article
Also, share with us your ideas on how to start the year with a bang!

For my US History and Government classes, I love starting the year with an Inaugural Address.
