Cesar Chavez (2014): Movie Guide and Graphic Organizer
ELA, Social Studies, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Graphic Organizers, Teacher Tools
The movie follows Chavez's early life as a migrant farm worker and his subsequent rise to prominence as a leader of the United Farm Workers (UFW) union. Throughout the film, Chavez and his colleagues fight for the rights of migrant workers, organizing strikes and boycotts to improve their working conditions and wages. The film highlights some of the key moments in Chavez's life, including his participation in the Delano grape strike of 1965, which became a significant turning point in the struggle for labor rights in the United States. Chavez and his colleagues faced many obstacles in their fight for justice, including resistance from powerful growers and opposition from some members of the community who did not understand or support their cause. Despite these challenges, Chavez remained committed to his principles of nonviolent protest and social justice. His efforts eventually led to the creation of the UFW, which became a powerful force for change in the labor movement and inspired other marginalized groups to fight for their rights. The film portrays Chavez as a humble and dedicated leader, who was willing to make personal sacrifices for the sake of his cause. It also highlights the important role played by Chavez's wife, Helen (Rosario Dawson), and the many other activists and supporters who worked alongside him. The movie concludes with a message of hope and inspiration, as it shows the impact of Chavez's legacy on subsequent generations of activists and the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality. These 25 teacher-generated questions are designed to help students focus in on key information during this powerful movie. This movie guide comes with some additional background information about the Bracero program and it also comes with a Cesar Chavez character map. Ready to print and use! Comes with a completed answer key! Thumbnail Clipart Credit: Prince Padania

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.

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.

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

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.

The New Deal consisted of three main components, often referred to as the "Three Rs": Relief, Recovery, and Reform.

The Scientific Revolution: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The Scientific Revolution refers to a period of profound scientific advancements and changes in the way people viewed and understood the natural world. It took place roughly between the 16th and 18th centuries, starting with the Copernican Revolution and ending with the Enlightenment. During this period, several significant scientific discoveries and advancements were made, leading to a fundamental shift in scientific thinking. Some key figures associated with the Scientific Revolution include Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and Francis Bacon. One of the central developments of the Scientific Revolution was the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus. He argued that the Earth revolves around the Sun, challenging the prevailing geocentric model that placed the Earth at the center of the universe. Galileo's observations with his improved telescope supported Copernicus' heliocentric model and further contributed to the understanding of planetary motion. Galileo also conducted experiments on motion, discovering the principle of inertia and making significant contributions to the field of mechanics. Johannes Kepler formulated three laws of planetary motion, providing mathematical descriptions of how planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun. His laws helped establish a more accurate understanding of celestial mechanics. Perhaps the most influential figure of the Scientific Revolution was Sir Isaac Newton. His groundbreaking work in physics, laid out in his book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" (often referred to as "Principia"), presented the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. Newton's laws provided a unified framework for understanding the motion of celestial bodies and objects on Earth. The Scientific Revolution also saw advancements in other fields, including anatomy, biology, chemistry, and optics. It led to the development of new experimental methods and the establishment of scientific institutions, such as the Royal Society in England. The impact of the Scientific Revolution extended beyond the scientific realm. It challenged long-held beliefs and traditional authorities, particularly those of the Catholic Church. The new scientific knowledge and methods encouraged critical thinking and the pursuit of empirical evidence, laying the groundwork for the Enlightenment—an intellectual and philosophical movement that emphasized reason, individualism, and progress. Overall, the Scientific Revolution marked a significant turning point in human history, ushering in a new era of scientific inquiry, experimentation, and a more systematic approach to understanding the natural world. It paved the way for subsequent scientific advancements and continues to shape our understanding of the universe 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). These notes come with a completed teacher version and a student fill-in-the-blank version. Ready to print and ready to use! Works great with the interactive notebook!

The Gettysburg Address: Primary Source Analysis
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
In November of 1863, a ceremony was held to dedicate a cemetery in Gettysburg to honor the great battle. The first speaker was Edward Everett, who gave an impassioned two-hour speech. After Everett, Abraham Lincoln rose and spoke for little more than two minutes. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was, in many ways, a summation of why the war was being fought and the meaning of the sacrifices made by the men who fought in the battle. At the end of Lincoln’s speech, Edward Everett, the man who had spoken prior to Lincoln, said, “I wish I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes." This product will help bring the speech alive to your students. This product is aligned to excerpts read directly from the speech. Excellent for struggling readers and audio learners. This product breaks down the speech into chunked text for students. After each section, students are asked some simple processing questions that will help them comprehend what they have read.

French Revolution: Complete Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France from 1789 to 1799. It began with the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on July 14, 1789, and ended with the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as Emperor in 1799. The French Revolution was sparked by a combination of economic, social, and political factors. France was facing a financial crisis due to its involvement in the American Revolution and the extravagant spending of King Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette. Meanwhile, the majority of the French population, particularly the lower classes, were suffering from poverty, starvation, and inequality. The revolution began with the Estates-General, a meeting of representatives from the three social classes in France, which had not been convened since 1614. The Third Estate, which represented the common people, demanded more representation and greater political power. When the king refused, the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly and began drafting a new constitution. The revolution quickly turned violent, as crowds of angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and other symbols of the monarchy. In August 1789, the National Assembly abolished feudalism and established the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which asserted the equality of all citizens before the law and guaranteed individual rights such as freedom of speech, press, and religion. The revolution continued with the Reign of Terror, a period of mass executions and political repression led by radical Jacobin leader Maximilien Robespierre. The Reign of Terror was brought to an end with the execution of Robespierre in 1794. In 1795, a new constitution was established, creating a Directory government. However, the Directory was plagued by corruption and instability, leading to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, who seized power in a coup d'état in 1799. The French Revolution had a profound impact on world history, inspiring political and social revolutions in Europe and beyond. Its legacy includes the spread of revolutionary ideals such as liberty, equality, and fraternity, the emergence of nationalism, and the transformation of Europe's political and social order. 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 helps students understand the underlining causes and effects of the French Revolution. The notes go over The Tennis Court Oath, the Bastille, and The Great Fear. These notes also cover the start and end of the Reign of Terror, and conclude with an overview of the rise and fall of Napoleon. Ready to print and ready to use!

Brown v. Board of Education 1954: Case Brief

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).

The Cold War was a time of tension and rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until 1991. The two superpowers never fought a direct war against each other, but they were involved in many proxy wars, such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Cold War started because the United States and the Soviet Union had different ideas about how countries should be run. The United States believed in democracy, where the people elect their leaders and have individual freedoms. The Soviet Union believed in communism, where the government controls everything and everyone is equal. The United States and the Soviet Union both wanted to spread their ideas and influence around the world, which led to a lot of tension between them. They also built up huge military forces, including nuclear weapons, to try to scare each other into backing down. The most dangerous time during the Cold War was in 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviet Union had secretly put nuclear missiles in Cuba, which is very close to the United States. The United States demanded that the missiles be removed, and there was a tense standoff between the two superpowers. Eventually, the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles, and the crisis was over. The Cold War ended in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. The United States emerged as the world's only superpower, and there was a lot of hope for peace and cooperation between countries. While there are still tensions between countries today, the world is much more peaceful than it was during the Cold War. 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 events of the Cold War era. These notes work well as a supplement to class readings!
