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

Class Economy: Grade 4-7 Math, Financial Literacy and SS
Life Studies, Social Studies, Business, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Money, Subtraction, Economics, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
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).

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 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!

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 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

Cold War Overview: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
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!

French Revolution: Complete Graphic Organizer

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!

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.

About: Learning is a Passion Store - I have taught 6th-12th grade during my 20 year teaching career. I prefer to use lessons in my teaching practice that allow my students to become facilitators and active participants in their own learning rather than merely an audience of "my show". I love to create hands- on, interactive activities that really engage my students in the learning process.
