Making Curriculum Pop

Sept. 7, 2018 WIR: Reading Graphs, Lego Walls, 'America &Me' study guides, Mayo Clinic doc & more

Happy Friday Everyone!

As mentioned earlier, (for now) the whole site is now wide open to the public. That said, signing up allows you to receive these weekly updates. With this new format, I'm trying to drop a WIR tweet (see below) before this resource broadcast. That way I can highlight contributors on Twitter and you can RT our WIR if you think other educators will dig it.

As a quick sidebar, I'm thinking about doing an entire Trump/Russia WIR at some point. For now, I'll just highlight that one of John McCain's last-long form interviews is in the new, stunning documentary Active Measures. The film is not in wide theatrical release yet, but is available on iTunes. To date, this film gives us the best sense of the shape of what will likely be - a very big iceberg. Check it out ASAP if you get a chance.
