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!

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).

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! Thumbnail and product clipart credit: By PrincePadania and byDandy Doodles This product provides students with an easy-to-understand overview of the major issues, leaders, and events associated with the Cold War.

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

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

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

The conservative tide can be seen as a reaction to the liberal or progressive movements that have made gains in areas such as civil rights, social justice, and environmental protection. The conservative tide has been evident in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Some examples of the conservative policies that have been implemented include tax cuts for the wealthy, reductions in public services, and a push towards more traditional values and social norms. The conservative tide has been fueled by various factors, such as economic insecurity, cultural anxiety, and a desire for a return to what some see as "traditional" values. Conservative politicians have been successful in mobilizing support by tapping into these concerns and promising to address them through policies that emphasize personal responsibility and free market solutions. However, the conservative tide has also been met with resistance from those who see it as a threat to progress and social justice. The tension between these opposing forces has become a defining feature of modern politics, with debates over issues such as immigration, climate change, and social inequality often at the center of the discourse. 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 looking at the four major goals of the conservative movement during the 1980s. Then, this graphic organizer looks at the causes and effects of the conservative tide that occurred during the 1980s. Comes with a student fill-in-the-blanks sheet. Ready to use!

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. I have also include time stamps so that students can listen to the speech while they follow along. Clipart and Product Clipart Credit: by Dandy Doodles
