  18. Kids can read on @countable and learn about political process and be able to discuss what they have read @drfurman #AMLE2017

  55. Use google slides to crop an image into 4 quadrants and give each of 4 groups a different part of the photo to analyze #AMLE2017
  56. Take a photo and “crop” what caught your eye first, the main idea, clues for where and when, tension or a problem, then discuss #AMLE2017
  57. Use a program to annotate over the #primarysource photo with suggestions on what the photo subject is thinking #AMLE2017

  75. Hashtag annotations help students to demonstrate their “conversation” with the text. Limit annotations to 5 words or less. #AMLE2017
