29. As any teacher knows, just because a
student failed a paper doesn’t mean they
didn’t “learn” anything, and a passing
paper doesn’t guarantee mastery either.
This is one of the more persuading
reasons to leverage the technology in
your classroom to allow your students to
demonstrate their learning.

44. December 1, 1955; what a great day to be alive.
Rosa Parks got on the bus; that’s what started all the fuss.
She sat down in the middle section , black and white intersection
White gets on and pays his money ; there was no seat, not too
funny
Do dah dippity black , Do dah dippity white
Take your side, what is right? Take your side, start the fight.
Bus driver yells, get outta that seat ; Stand up colored, get on
your feet
Rosa refused to even move ; the bus driver’s not with that groove
Rosa is arrested and thrown in jail , but that’s not the end of this
here tale !

45. The King of England made a rule ~ The pilgrims thought it wasn’t cool
The King said to worship his own way ~ So the pilgrims went away
Break…………………………………..
Off to Holland they did go ~ Got no jobs, they were po’
Their children started speaking Dutch ~ Their parents didn’t like it much
Break…………………………………..
Back to England on a ship ~ Started on a risky trip
The Mayflower was a small boat ~ They hoped that it would stay a float
Break…………………………………..
Six – ty -six days at sea ~ Sick, cold and hungry
They got to land, made a compact ~ Yes, they did, that’s a fact
Break…………………………………..
Off the ship and on to land ~ Prayed to God, knelt in the sand
