Giant Human Skeleton Discovered on the Shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago
New Ulm Review, September 12, 1900
The skeleton of a giant, who, when he walked the shores of Lake Michigan, stood seven feet and four inches high in his moccasin feet, was discovered in Rogers Park the other day and upon the discovery hinged an afternoons wonderment. Joseph and Charles Everett, boys who live in Ridge Boulevard near Pratt Avenue, made the find and reported it at the Rogers Park police station. Dr. John Klein, one of the searching party, declared that the skeleton was that of an Indian chief. Further search, among other things, disclosed a copper knife, arrowheads, a quantity of gold and a moccasin. The skeleton was taken in the patrol wagon to the Rogers Park police station. Later it was given to Dr, Klein. The doctor will mount the skeleton and send it to Leipsic University.

Accessing Tumblr on the iPad
Tumblr is a blogging platform that is perfect in the classroom. Tumblr is a tool that allows students to reflect on their processes and to articulate the learning that has occurred in a lesson, within a unit or across the year.
I find blogging a particularly good activity for boys. Boys do not always reflect naturally and this is a good habit for them to develop. From my experiences many girls develop better language skills and an emotional intelligence at an earlier age and find blogging a natural extension of their work.
I have had students resist using tumblr and then within a month or two be using it daily - without any prompting from me. One in particular now posts so often that I struggle to keep up. I do love it when students get so passionate.
Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. You can post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your iPad, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, and change it as often as you like. I have never seen two of my students have the same theme.
So what apps are available to access Tumblr on the iPad:

8 Foot Giant Humans Uncovered on Virginias Shenandoah River
8 Foot Giant Humans Uncovered on Virginias Shenandoah River
Spoke burials or skeletons situated around a central figure is most prominent in the Ohio Valley burial mounds. The giant skeletons found in Virginia are a likely extension of the Ohio Valley giants
THE NEW YORK TIMES, JUNE 8, 1924
INDIAN GRAVES YIELD
SHENANDOAH RELICS
Flood waters near Berryville. Virginia unearth a 7 1/2 foot skeleton of an ancient human. Of course, when this human, to whom the bones belonged, was alive in the flesh he would have been more like 7 feet. 9 inches tall. Also, this skeleton like some others found in the same area had generally 2 to 3 times the mass as that of contemporary humans. The grave where the skeleton was found was centrally located amongst other graves, perhaps, testifying to the important position in society that the owner of these bones once held.
Another find, much larger than the first, was on the farm of Felix McManus, near Berryville,Virginia This is supposed to be an old Indian cemetery, and the unearthing was done by floods when the Shenandoah River was unusually high. Practically the same sort of relics were found, including a tomahawk. The graves were grouped around a center one in which the skeleton measured seven and one-half feet.

Video on running concept lIsts
Put simply, running concept lists are a set of lists, each list relating to a single concept, that you update continually as you learn more about each concept. They are easy to make and to maintain. And they are very handy tools for learning new concepts . . . or for reviewing old concepts.
But they are even more helpful for learning the connections between concepts . . . thus developing your critical thinking skills!
Concept lists are also called connection pages because they help you see connections.
Ive outlined this ongoing study technique several times before. You may want to review those previous articles.
As you grow your library of running concepts lists, youll find that you have constructed a personal encyclopedia of knowledge! One that you can build on (and refer back to) for a lifetime.
If you havent bothered to learn about running concept lists before, you may want to reconsider this powerful tool.
Recently, I added this video to my page on Concept Lists found in the Lion Den Study Tips & Tools.
