Quinn Rollins @jedikermit Did a quick first day activity where we talked about "What Is History?" "Why Does History Matter?" and then had them name 3 people they consider historically significant, and 3 historic events. Wasn't expecting "When Britney Shaved Her Head" to make an appearance in 2023. https://twitter.com/jedikermit/status/1692697437922595036?s=20

Marcus Luther (@MarcusLuther6)  I've always been a fan of paper/highlighters when it comes to close-reading and annotating.
