Weekly History Syllabus Doodle Notes

Ever feel like your history lessons need a serious pick-me-up? After watching my teenager's eyes glaze over during one too many timeline activities, I knew I had to create something different! These Weekly History Syllabus Doodle Notes were born late one night at my kitchen table, surrounded by scattered history books and half-finished lesson plans that weren't working for either of us. As a fellow homeschool mom who's navigated the treacherous waters of teaching history to a teenager (who'd rather be doing ANYTHING else), I have poured all my real-world experience into these templates. Gone are the days of dry, boring history planning that puts both of us to sleep! Instead, I have created visual planning sheets that finally clicked for my visually-oriented teen. Now we're mapping out historical connections, documenting primary source readings, and planning research activities in a way that actually sticks! The magic happens when those historical concepts come alive through both organized planning AND creative visual elements. My daughter went from "Do we have to do history today?" to pointing out connections between historical periods on her own—I amnot kidding! These templates have completely transformed how history works in our homeschool, and I cannot wait for them to do the same for yours. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Comprehensive weekly history planning template with visually engaging design Designated spaces for historical learning objectives, content focus, and instructor information Daily sections for documenting classwork, discussions, quizzes, and attendance Specialized reading assignment sections for historical texts and primary sources Homework planning areas with website research recommendations and writing prompts Visual note-taking spaces that connect historical concepts with creative representation Structured organization that accommodates the unique narrative nature of history instruction Look, I am not going to pretend I'm some super-organized homeschool mom with color-coded bookshelves (my laundry pile would quickly disprove that myth!). But after years of history lessons that felt like pulling teeth, these doodle notes have honestly saved our homeschool history curriculum. Sunday afternoons used to find me stressed and overwhelmed, staring at history books and wondering how to make centuries-old events relevant to my tech-obsessed teen. Now? I actually look forward to mapping out our history week! The combination of chronological organization with visual creativity means concepts stick in a way they never did before. My daughter has gone from glazed-over eyes to making connections between historical periods on her own. No joke—last week she compared political patterns from ancient Rome to something in today's news WITHOUT PROMPTING! Grab these templates today, and in a few weeks, you will be texting your homeschool friends about how your kid suddenly loves history. (And they'll demand to know your secret!) If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resources, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom Please subscribe: tidewindacademyhomeschool.com

Truman and the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb: Graphic Organizer

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

Introduction to FDR's New Deal: Reading & Processing Activity

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. Excellent for review. Product clipart credit: By PrincePadania and By Clip Guy Graphics

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.

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.

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 comprehensive 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

The Great Awakening: Reading and Graphic Organizer

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!

The Cuban Missile Crisis: Graphic Organizer

The Cuban Missile Crisis: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day political and military standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union in October 1962. The crisis was sparked when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union had secretly installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US coastline. The US saw this as a direct threat to their national security. On October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy announced the discovery of the missiles and imposed a naval quarantine on Cuba, blocking Soviet ships from delivering more missiles. The Soviet Union responded by stating that the quarantine was an act of aggression and refused to remove the missiles. For the next 13 days, the world was on the brink of nuclear war. The US military was put on high alert, and Kennedy established the Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM) to advise him on the crisis. Kennedy and his advisors considered several options, including a military strike on Cuba, a full-scale invasion, and a naval blockade. They also communicated with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev through diplomatic channels to try to find a peaceful solution. On October 28, Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for a US promise not to invade Cuba and to remove US missiles from Turkey. The crisis was over, and nuclear war had been avoided. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a defining moment in the Cold War, demonstrating the danger of nuclear weapons and the need for international diplomacy and cooperation. It also led to improved communication and a "hotline" between the US and the Soviet Union to prevent future 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). These notes give students an overview of Cuban Missile Crisis, the main players in the crisis, and the 13-days where the world stood at the brink of nuclear war. These notes also come complete with a fill-in-the-blank student version. Clipart Credit: Dandy Doodles

Teaching about the monumental moments in history isn't just part of our job—it's a calling. One of those watershed moments, without a doubt, is the 9/11 attacks of 2001. Orchestrated by al-Qaeda, this day didn't just change the skyline of New York; it changed the fabric of the United States and shifted its trajectory on the global front. While many of us can still feel the weight of the smoke-filled air as we watched the World Trade Center towers fall, or the heartbreak hearing the tales of heroism from Flight 93, we must recognize that for a good number of our students, this day is a story from before their time. Our challenge—and indeed, our responsibility—is to bridge that gap, making the stories of that day both tangible and understandable. One way to navigate this is with clear, structured notes. Think of it as connecting the dots: breaking down complex events and pairing them with firsthand accounts, like President George W. Bush's immediate reactions, helps paint a fuller picture for our students. In our shared goal to enlighten and inform, I've put together a resource that walks through 9/11. For us educators, there's a comprehensive version, and for our students, an interactive one designed to pique their curiosity and encourage active participation. Ready to use, these tools are designed to make our task a tad easier while ensuring our students gain a thorough understanding. By weaving this resource into our lessons, we're taking our students by the hand and guiding them through one of the most consequential days in recent history. It's so vital they grasp the magnitude and nuances of such events, and I truly think this tool will be a cornerstone in that effort. This product comes with a completed teacher version and a fill-in-the-blanks version. Ready to print and ready to use. Great format to help students learn.
