LBJ's Great Society: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The Great Society program was a set of domestic policies and initiatives introduced by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s. It aimed to address various social issues and create a more equitable society in the United States. The Great Society encompassed a wide range of programs and legislation focused on areas such as civil rights, poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, and urban renewal. The Great Society program had a significant impact on American society, particularly in terms of civil rights, poverty reduction, and access to education and healthcare. However, its implementation faced challenges, and its long-term effects have been the subject of ongoing debate and evaluation. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). These notes begin by giving students an overview into the events that led to LBJ's presidency. The notes then broadly categorize the two major goals of The Great Society and provide four legislative achievements for each one. This graphic organizer will work great as an introduction to the Great Society! Comes with a student fill-in-the-blanks sheet. Ready to use! Thumbnail clipart credit: By PrincePadania

Truman and the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, played a pivotal role in the development and use of atomic bombs during World War II. Truman assumed the presidency on April 12, 1945, following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At that time, the Manhattan Project , a secret research program focused on developing atomic weapons, was already underway. As President, Truman was faced with a difficult decision regarding the use of atomic bombs against Japan. The Manhattan Project had successfully created two atomic bombs, and Truman had to decide whether to deploy them as a means to end the war. After the war, Truman focused on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. He supported the creation of the United Nations and played a key role in establishing the Baruch Plan, which proposed international control of atomic energy to prevent further proliferation. Truman's decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains one of the most consequential actions of his presidency. It ushered in the nuclear age, shaped the course of history, and sparked ongoing discussions about the use and ethics of atomic weapons. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). This graphic organizer gives students two primary source quotes regarding Truman's use of the bomb. The notes then explain some pro/con arguments about the use of the bomb. Lastly, the notes give students a chance to look at the six immediate effects of the bomb. Comes with a fill-in-the-blank version. Clipart Credit: By PrincePadania

WORLDLE Country of the Day: An Easy Routine for World Geography
Social Studies, Geography, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Here's an easy way to incorporate world geography into your classroom routine! How to Use: Play WORLDLE with your class: https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ It's a game inspired by WORDLE but using images of countries instead. It's a great way to also practice, percentages, compass directions and distances, as incorrect guesses are given information about how far they are from the actual country, in what direction, and what percentage accuracy your guess had. After you have determined the country of the day, students can spend a few minutes learning about it and recording basic facts on the handout (you can print it double-sided, so 12 countries fit on a sheet). Students need to identify which continent the country is part of, find its current population, the capital city, countries that are neighbours, the official language or languages, and two fun facts. This website is a great resource for learning about each country: https://www.kids-world-travel-guide.com/ If you play for a whole school year, you should have time to learn about most of the countries in the world! You could also let students choose different countries from the game to research more in depth and present to one another. Grades to Use With: This is an easy routine to use in your grades 4-9 classrooms. It could be a morning homeroom activity as kids arrive each day or something to help the class settle after lunch. You could also use it during social studies or geography lessons as a quick break or reward.

Marbury v. Madison 1803: Case Brief
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Government, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Marbury v. Madison was a landmark case in United States Supreme Court history, decided in 1803. It established the principle of judicial review, which is the power of the federal courts to declare a law or government action unconstitutional. The case arose when William Marbury, a Federalist, sued Secretary of State James Madison for not delivering his commission as a justice of the peace. Marbury argued that the Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court the power to issue writs of mandamus compelling executive officials to perform their duties, and that he was entitled to such a writ. However, Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional, because it attempted to give the Supreme Court powers that were not granted to it by the Constitution. Marshall reasoned that the Constitution established a system of checks and balances between the three branches of government, and that the power of judicial review was inherent in the Constitution. Marshall's ruling established the principle of judicial review, which has since become a fundamental principle of American constitutional law. The ruling also strengthened the power of the federal judiciary relative to the other branches of government, and established the Supreme Court as the final arbiter of the Constitution. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). These teacher-created notes will help your students grasp the major impact of the Marbury v. Madison 1803 case. These notes come with a student version and a completed teacher version. These notes work well as a supplement to class readings! Product clipart credit: byPrince Padania

Introduction to FDR's New Deal: Reading & Processing Activity
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
During the 1930s, the United States was facing a lot of problems. Many people were out of work and didn't have enough money to take care of their families. The country was in a very difficult time called the Great Depression. To help the country recover, President Franklin D. Roosevelt came up with a plan called the New Deal. The New Deal had a lot of different parts, but the main idea was to create jobs and help people who were struggling. One of the ways the New Deal created jobs was by starting programs that hired people to do important work, like building roads and bridges. The New Deal also helped farmers by giving them money and tools to improve their farms. The New Deal also created programs to help people who were having a hard time. One program was called Social Security, which gave money to people who were retired or couldn't work because of an injury or disability. Another program was called the Civilian Conservation Corps, which helped young men get jobs and learn new skills. Overall, the New Deal was a plan to help the country recover from a very difficult time. It created jobs, helped people who were struggling, and set up programs that are still helping Americans today. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). This product comes with an introductory reading into FDR's New Deal. The product then has students process the three R's: Relief, Recovery, and Reform (comes with an example). Ready to use.

Brown v. Board of Education 1954: Case Brief
Social Studies, Government, History, History: USA, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Brown v. Board of Education is a landmark United States Supreme Court case that was decided in 1954. The case involved the issue of racial segregation in public schools and had a profound impact on the civil rights movement. The case originated from several lawsuits filed by African American families challenging the segregation of public schools based on race. At the time, racial segregation was widespread in many areas of the United States, and public schools were often segregated, with African American students attending separate schools that were unequal in terms of resources and quality of education. In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, which guarantees equal treatment under the law. The Court concluded that separate educational facilities for white and African American students were inherently unequal and that racial segregation in public education had a detrimental impact on African American children, damaging their self-esteem and denying them equal educational opportunities. The decision in Brown v. Board of Education overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson, which had allowed for racial segregation as long as the separate facilities were equal in quality. The Brown decision declared that separate educational facilities were inherently unequal and ordered the desegregation of public schools. However, the implementation of the Brown decision faced significant resistance in many printables /parts-of-and-anatomy-of">parts of the country. Some states and localities resisted desegregation efforts, leading to years of legal battles and social upheaval. It wasn't until years later, through further court rulings, federal legislation, and the efforts of civil rights activists, that significant progress was made in desegregating schools and advancing equal educational opportunities for all students. Overall, Brown v. Board of Education was a pivotal case in the civil rights movement, challenging the legal foundation of segregation and setting the stage for subsequent efforts to end racial discrimination in various aspects of American society. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). These teacher-created notes will help your students grasp the major impact of the Brown v. Board of Education 1954 case. These notes come with a student version and a completed teacher version.

Class Economy: Grade 4-7 Math, Financial Literacy and SS

Do you want to teach your middle grades students in grades 4-7 about simple economics? Do you want help around the classroom with chores such as tidying up and putting away chairs? Then implement this class economy routine and teach your students about basic financial literacy, banking, and economics! Teacher Instructions: Set-Up: • This classroom economy is completely editable: leave it as it is or change it for your specific needs! • Review the jobs on page 3 and change them as necessary. Then print one copy of that page to sign up your students for one term (12 weeks), or you can type the names straight into the chart each week. • Review page 4. Add your class name at the top. Change the rewards to suit your class. Then print a double-sided page 4 & 5 for each of your students to keep in their binders. This is also enough for one term (12 weeks). Each week: • On the first Friday, give your students the handout and assign 2-3 students to each job. Explain what they must do to successfully complete their job next week. For example, the floor inspectors must check the floor before lunch and at the end of each day and clean up any paper or garbage. • Show your students the sample bank balance on page 6. Walk through how to complete the math and find the two missing balances ($20 and $30) together. • Discuss what fines and bonuses you might use. For example, students might earn $5 for being a great friend to someone who needs it, and they might incur a $5 fine for speaking out of turn repeatedly. • Each week, take 20 minutes on Friday to assign the jobs for next week. Students fill out their bank account balance and get it checked by the teacher. •Students can use their excess money to shop for rewards (and they may combine money together to get a large reward like a class movie). Inflation: • If you want to teach your students an extra lesson, incorporate some inflation into your economy. • After 8-10 weeks, let your students know that the desk rental price is increasing to $35. • Add $5 to each job salary. • Talk about how this will decrease their purchasing power, much like rising prices and stagnating salaries do in the real world. What's Included: 6 Pages in and EDITABLE Powerpoint - Step-by-step teacher instructions for this simple class routine: once started, it should take only 20 minutes every week! - Digital or printable weekly sign-up sheet with 8 class jobs - Student handout with instructions and 8 reward options - Student bank balance worksheet - Sample bank balance sheet: show your class and practice adding up deposits and withdrawals Grades to Use With: This classroom economy is specifically designed for students in the middle grades (4-7).

New Deal Alphabet Agencies: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The New Deal was a series of economic programs and reforms implemented in the United States during the 1930s by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). It was a response to the severe economic crisis of the Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in 1929. The New Deal aimed to address the widespread unemployment, poverty, and economic instability that plagued the country. Its primary goals were relief for the unemployed and those in need, economic recovery, and reform to prevent future economic crises. The New Deal consisted of three main components, often referred to as the "Three Rs": Relief, Recovery, and Reform. Overall, FDR's New Deal represented a significant expansion of the federal government's role in the economy and social welfare, aiming to provide relief to those in need, stimulate economic recovery, and establish long-term reforms to prevent future economic crises. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). This fill-in-the-blank graphic organizer is perfect for your student's interactive notebook. It looks at the 3 R's of the New Deal (Relief, Recovery, and Reform), and provides examples of agencies that aimed to fulfill those goals. Ready to use - no prep.

The Great Awakening: Reading and Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The First Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that occurred in the American colonies in the 18th century, particularly between the 1730s and 1740s. It marked a significant shift in the religious landscape of the time and had a profound impact on American society, culture, and politics. The First Great Awakening emerged as a response to the growing secularism, complacency, and spiritual apathy that had developed within the established Protestant churches. It sought to reignite religious fervor and bring individuals to a more personal and heartfelt relationship with God. The First Great Awakening had several significant consequences. It led to the growth and diversification of Protestant denominations, as new churches and sects emerged, challenging the authority of established churches. The revival also fostered a greater emphasis on individualism, as people were encouraged to seek their own personal relationship with God, rather than relying solely on religious institutions. Furthermore, the First Great Awakening played a role in shaping American identity and promoting the ideals of religious freedom and personal liberty. It inspired a sense of unity among diverse groups of colonists, as people from different social and economic backgrounds came together in religious gatherings. This shared experience helped lay the groundwork for a common American identity and contributed to the development of democratic ideals in the colonies. Students begin by reading about the causes and effects of the Great Awakening. The students are introduced to the two major preachers: Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield. Then, the students complete a graphic overview of the Great Awakening (included). Lastly, students answer two "Big Questions." Ready to print and use! Works great with the interactive notebook!

J. Robert Oppenheimer: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, History: World, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
This J. Robert Oppenheimer: Graphic Organizer resource is focused on J. Robert Oppenheimer, a pivotal figure in 20th-century science and the development of the atomic bomb. Julius Robert Oppenheimer was not only an exceptional physicist but also a key player in shaping the course of history during World War II through his involvement with the Manhattan Project. Born in New York City in 1904, Oppenheimer's early years were marked by outstanding academic achievements. He pursued studies at esteemed institutions such as Harvard University and later secured his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Göttingen, Germany. His contributions spanned various facets of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. However, his paramount influence emerged during the turbulent years of World War II. In 1942, Oppenheimer assumed the role of scientific director for the Manhattan Project, an initiative that bore heavy consequences with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His expertise and leadership were invaluable to the project's culmination. Post-war, Oppenheimer's journey continued in both academic circles and governmental sectors. He chaired the General Advisory Committee of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, advocating for judicious control over atomic energy. Regrettably, the McCarthy-era cast shadows over his accomplishments, leading to the revocation of his security clearance in 1954, a decision that was later revised, albeit not entirely overturned. Oppenheimer's passing in 1967 left behind a legacy characterized by brilliance, innovation, and moments of controversy. To aid in bringing this influential figure's narrative to our students, I've prepared a c omprehensive overview of Oppenheimer's life , both preceding and following the Manhattan Project. This resource is complemented by 10 reading comprehension questions, alongside a detailed teacher key , ensuring a holistic teaching experience. It's formatted to be effortlessly integrated into our curriculum. Product Clipart: Prince Padania
