The Roman Empire Webquest
Social Studies, History, History: Ancient, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities, Projects
Seeking an engaging method to teach your 6-8 graders about ancient history? The Roman Empire: Web Quest might be your solution. This resource is designed to immerse students in the grandeur of Rome. Far from the traditional lecture-based approach, this hands-on, Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity encourages collaborative group work, making the learning process enticing, challenging, and enjoyable. Instead of the standard reading and answering routine, which can often disengage students, The Roman Empire: Web Quest allows students to actively travel back to Ancient Rome. Here, they delve into investigations about life during that era. Collaborative groups select one of seven focus areas, conducting research, taking notes, and later sharing their findings with the class. A unique component involves students writing diary entries, imagining a day in the life of a Roman. This assignment not only adds depth to their understanding but can also double up as both a Social Studies and English grade for those teaching both subjects. The program is exhaustive, featuring a mini-history book, graphic organizers, pre-writing pages, and a grading rubric. It's a well-acknowledged fact that students often forget lessons post-examination. However, I am confident that this hands-on approach will leave an indelible mark, creating memories that linger even after they move on from your classroom. Experts in the field frequently advocate for project-based learning. They believe that PBL not only enhances learning competencies required for academic and life successes but also combats the prevailing sentiment among students that education can be monotonous. PBL ensures students are active and engaged learners. With current educational standards, like the Common Core, emphasizing real-world applications of knowledge, PBL stands out as an approach that fosters problem-solving. Furthermore, the collaborative nature of PBL activities aids character development, and it's observed that students tend to understand and retain content more effectively through PBL than traditional teaching methods. ⎈ THIS IS WHAT’S INCLUDED: ⎈ ⎈ Complete Lesson Plans ⎈ Mini Ancient Rome History Booklet with Questions, Answers and Web Links ⎈ Assignment Sheets for Students with or without Costumes/Disguises ⎈ Images with Roman Dress ⎈ Information on Grading ⎈ Grading Rubric for Web Quest ⎈ Grading Rubric for Diary Entry Can Also be Used for ELA Grade if Desired ⎈ Assignment for Diary Entry ⎈ Graphic Organizers ⎈ Pre-Writing Pages ⎈ Handouts with Questions for Each Group ⎈ Pages for Notes ⎈ Handouts with Comprehensive Lists of Web Links ⎈ Diary Covers and Pages ⎈ Common Core Standards I REMEMBERsitting in history class, as a student, and being bored out of my mind.

Designed to print with no supports for easy printing. Include TinkerCAD tool guide! Has a content page. Great beginners’ tool for learning to make 3D models and learn TinkerCAD. TinkerCAD is a free online program that makes 3D model that work on 3D printers, laser etching machines, water jets, plasma cutters and many more!! Tinkercad is an easy-to-use, browser-based computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Autodesk. It is primarily used for creating and designing 3D models, particularly in the field of 3D printing. Tinkercad is popular among beginners and hobbyists due to its intuitive interface and simplified tools. Here are some key features and uses of Tinkercad: 1) 3D Modeling: Tinkercad allows users to create 3D models by combining basic shapes and manipulating them using tools such as scaling, rotating, and moving. It provides a wide range of primitive shapes like cubes, spheres, cylinders, and more, which can be customized to create complex designs. 2) Design Customization: Users can apply various modifications to their designs, including resizing, rounding edges, adding text, creating holes, and aligning objects. These tools help in refining the models and making them suitable for specific purposes or fitting them with other components. 3)Import and Export: Tinkercad supports the import of existing 3D models in STL and OBJ formats, allowing users to modify and incorporate them into their designs. It also offers export options to save the designs as STL files, which are widely used in 3D printing. 4) Collaboration and Sharing: Tinkercad provides features for collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. It enables real-time sharing and editing, making it convenient for team projects or educational purposes. 5) Electronics Integration: One notable aspect of Tinkercad is its integration with electronics.

Creative Arts, Art, Music, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with thecleanversion of Bruno Mars' smash hit"24k Magic" There are five all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated in groups of 3x and 1x). Then, apply it to drums! This version specifically targeted and tailored for beginning bucket drummers can be used for younger students who are not familiar with the sixteenth notes, may not have the coordination for alternating hands, or who just want to step right into the drumming circuit with a bit more ease! All notation in this arrangement are quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
