The Great Awakening – Reading & 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!

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

While students/homeschoolers are having fun reflecting on what they loved about the year's learning journey, they are actually reviewing crucial material without the stress of test prep. The visual-verbal connection helps cement those concepts in their minds one last time.

Worldle Country of the Day – Geography Routine
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.

If you do the genre study component of this resource, the book report offers a high-quality culminating project. In addition, if you teach a Language Arts/History Core or plan with a History/Social Studies partner-teacher, this is an excellent resource for both classes and provides students with a different way to engage with history.

Students gain a deeper appreciation for historical periods and how they relate to the present day, It also improves critical thinking skills by giving students opportunities tothink critically about the events and people from the past, analyze and interpret historical events, understand different perspectives,and it encourages empathy, tolerance, and respect because students learn to see history through the eyes of characters from different time periods and cultures Historical Fiction Genre Study Book Report includes the following: 2 comprehensive and interactive lesson plans: Book Browse lesson plan Historical Fiction Genre lesson plan with common core standards, objectives, and learning targets easy-to-follow student directions Note taking Guide Note taking Guide Chart Spoke Diagram Plot Diagram Character Chart Sensory Description Chart Other Elements in Historical Fiction Chart Storyboard Presentation in Small Groups Directions Self-Evaluation of Historical Fiction Book Report Check-Off and Grading Sheet Other Resources You Might Be Interested In: Book Reports: Autobiography/Biography Genre Study Book Report and Speech Book into Movie Project: Compare and Contrast Book Report and Essay Book Jacket Book Report Character Analysis Essay, Gift for a Character Book Report, and Oral Presentation Historical Fiction Genre Study Book Report Historical Fiction Genre Study Literature Circle Project Poetry Book Report Mini-Reviews Book Report Mystery, Thriller, Horror, and Suspense Genre Study Book Report Narrative Nonfiction Genre Study Book Report Project Poetry Book Report Dystopian.

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).

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).

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

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.

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

September 11th, 2001: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
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.
