I am so-o-o-o glad I can help. It is not often that a middle school history teacher from deep south Louisiana gets to hear this. I may have been a Teacher of the Year once, a middle school teacher for more than 25 years, and a tech junkie forever, but it is still nice to here such wonderful things at least once or twice. Glad I could help! - Greg

I wish you could have used more of the paper. Not enough room for the students to write in the cell phone spaces. However, the idea is so clever and I can't wait for my students to use it when they do their biography reports.

I saw this and thought it would be a good cover idea for my students' interactive notebooks. I'll have to change the idea for Texas, but I thought this would be a good way to personalize it and still stay within the scope of the content area. I can't wait to see what they do with it.
August 10, 2012

If you need one for Texas just let me know and I will send you one. I grew up there (years ago)!

I am at an AVID campus, and I'm always looking for things like this to get my students to personalize and show what they learn in a creative way. Love the idea and I'll definitely use it. (I teach Texas history--we're neighbors)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Ed DeHoratius (TpT Seller) re: Learning Archeology thru Clay Pots
Downloaded the free version of this and suspect that's why I can't rate it, but I loved it. Did it with a high school archaeology class (we were in a bit of the doldrums and this was perfect to get them going again). If you can, feel free to post an enthusiastic four stars for it. I also blogged about it with pictures and a video if you want to check it out (and feel free to link to the blog in the description): https://whsipadpilot.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/technology-free-good-to-shake-it-up-literally/. And, if you're interested.
Not sure how much ancient history you do, but I have a number of images and maps here at TPT (and hundreds more at home, if you're looking for something specific): http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Ed-Dehoratius. And I've published Choose Your Own Adventure versions of Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid: http://followyourfates.weebly.com/.
Thanks again for the great activity.

I teach Louisiana history to 8th graders and I have done this project many times in the past as we begin the discussion of Louisiana Native Americans. I love watching them break their pots afetr all their work THEN I collect them and give them out to another calss the next day. I also mix up a few peices in each bag so they do not get a "whole" pot. They have loved the project over the years.

Hello-
Are there examples or something else that go along with this WS? I'm just wondering because of the price.
Thank you

tchrmommy1 re: Save a State - Research and Ad Campaign
I just bought this, but see that it's just an overview of the lesson plan and the student packet is not included. Where do I get the student packet? It's the most important part of the lesson, especially since the student packet contains the descriptions of the activities.

I just checked the blog and the link is up there. It is www.Louisiana101.com and I have been doing the site for more than 20 years - well before the internet because a "big deal". If you see anything you like take it. Let me know what I can change and/or make better. The "Louisiana 101" is the old college class and I wanted it to be the first place 'new' teachers go to for material that has been 'tried and true and class tested', just what teachers have found over the years. - Greg

Hi there! I saw your forum post. When I went to your blog (that I joined long ago) I clicked on your TpT buttons at very bottom. They take you to the main TpT home page and not your store...thought you may wanna know in case you intended for them to go to your store.. Also, not sure if i want to admit it or not, but my grandmother's family streams from the Long's....interesting since I saw the Huey Long: Truth of the Matter! lol....just thought I'd stop by! Have a good one!

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Learning Archeology thru Clay Pots
I saw your posting on the Seller's Forum; so, I downloaded your freebie and rated it. I have just a couple of suggestions to help it sell. First, center your title and add a graphic. You might even make an eye catching title page which then becomes a thumbnail for your product. Also put the grade levels it is appropriate for somewhere on the product.
Here is my freebie. I trust you will take some time and rate mine. If you have any suggestions, I would love some input.
