Alpha vs Beta

This is a really great activity.  It is a good way to remind students that everyone is different. It lets everyone know that just because someone does not act "normal" to their perspective, they are. Some people show their emotions, respect, and all social aspects differently. We all need to try to be more understanding about someone elses culture and norms.

I really loved the 'no taxation without representation' activity we did in class on Monday. I think incorporating strategies like these in the classroom are great ways in making learning Social Studies exciting. Students will have more fun and will probably remember the materials taught. I hope to learn a lot of fun hands-on ways to incorporate Social Studies in the classroom.
