In the past week, my 11th Grade US History classes have been studying Thomas Paine. Two simple reflective exercises we did were to create memes and hashtags about what was learned about Thomas Paine. This was the first time these students have done these activities. Both activities are can be done synchronously on Zoom or as an asynchronous assignment.
With the memes, students reflected on their lesson notes on how Thomas Paine's Common Sense helped inspire the American colonists' split from England. With the hashtags, students reflected on what in their life experience Thomas Paine's life and ideas remind them of.
