"My AP Gov classes are working through a Harvard Case Study on James Madison's Federal Negative proposal. My original plan for today was to have a discussion about the reading they have completed thus far.
After Saturday, I collaborated with Chat GPT on which map to best use for my purpose. I went with a multi flow cause and effect map. I forgot to take pictures while students were working on it, but I have attached the student template and the exemplar.
I cut out the exemplars and gave them as sentence strips to groups of 4 and they had to decide if it was a cause or an effect and then I showed them the completed exemplar. Since it was our first try at thinking maps, so I scaffolded it this go round. Later this week we will use another map for two Supreme Court cases.
Yes, the kids liked it. It helped get their ideas organized and it was specific to what they had read. I also plan to share with teachers that I work with as Instructional Coach as another way to get kids thinking and an opportunity to respond."

American Revolution Tea | Hyson Green Tea Information
Water Temperature: 175°F
Brewing Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients: Premium Green Tea
Origin: China
Elmwood Inn Fine Teas received a commission from the National Archives in Washington to produce a private-label tea commemorating one of the pivotal events in the colonists' struggle for independence, the 1773 Boston Tea Party.
We now offer this historically-correct Chinese hyson green tea to all our customers. There were five Chinese teas aboard the three ships in Boston Harbor; three of those teas were black, and two were green. All 340 chests of loose tea went overboard on December 16.
You will find this tea in all the National Park Gift Stores across New England and in the gift shop at the Boston Tea Party Ships Museum, where our owner Bruce Richardson is the tea history consultant.
Read more about the history of tea in A Social History of Tea by Jane Pettigrew and Elmwood Inn Tea owner Bruce Richardson.
