"Dunkirk" is a 2017 war movie directed by Christopher Nolan, which tells the story of the evacuation of British and Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. The movie is divided into three overlapping stories: one following a young British soldier named Tommy, played by Fionn Whitehead, as he tries to escape Dunkirk; another following a civilian mariner named Mr. Dawson, played by Mark Rylance, as he sails to Dunkirk to help rescue soldiers; and a third following Royal Air Force pilot Farrier, played by Tom Hardy, as he tries to protect the evacuating ships from German fighter planes. As the German army advances on Dunkirk, the British army, along with French and Belgian troops, find themselves trapped on the beaches, with the only hope of survival being a massive evacuation by sea. The movie depicts the brutal and chaotic nature of war, as well as the bravery and determination of soldiers and civilians alike. "Dunkirk" was praised for its stunning visuals and immersive sound design, which captured the intense and harrowing nature of war. The movie was also applauded for its unique storytelling structure, which created a sense of urgency and tension throughout the film. "Dunkirk" was a critical and commercial success, earning numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards. This product comes with a worksheet detailing the background of Dunkirk. The student worksheet comes with reading comprehension questions and a plotting activity. (I highly encourage you to complete the worksheet prior to watching the film).

Plotting Polygons on 4 Quadrant Grids: Make a Logo: 6th Grade Geometry
Math, Geometry, Graphing, Common Core, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities
Plotting polygons on a 4 quadrant grid? Seems like a tough standard to make interesting... I've got you covered! This comprehensive math lesson gets students to plot different polygons on a Cartesian plane, identify the kinds of polygons, think about symmetry, and discuss how to measure side lengths using the ordered pairs of the vertices: all while applying these skills to a real-life situation: making a logo! Here's how it works: First, students plot ordered pairs on a four quadrant grid (using integers). This will create 5 different polygons in a simple logo shape. Next, students answer questions that will get them thinking deeply about the math they are using and looking for relationships. Questions include: How many quadrilaterals did you draw ? Explain how you can figure out the length of shape 4 just by looking at its coordinates. What are two lines of symmetry for shape 5? After that, students have a fresh grid on which they can design their own logo. They carefully write out the ordered pairs in the correct order to create their logo. Finally, they trade their new instructions with a friend to see if they can re-create each other's logos! Grades to Use With: This lesson is specifically designed to address 6th grade geometry Common Core State Standard 6.G.A.3, but it can also be used for enrichment in 5th grade classrooms, or as a review in 7th and 8th grade classes. It could also be used in high school special education settings.

This project is unique as it encourages students to think creatively and research less common options for careers, instead of only the stereotypes we always talk about. So, instead of doctor in the healthcare field, what about a phlebotomist, a heart valve specialist, or a paediatric nurse? Instead of a president in the field of government, what about a speech writer, a social media expert, or a municipal clerk? There are so many varied jobs out there- and many of them students don't even know exist. Each student will be assigned one career sector. You can pick yourself, or let your students choose what they are most interested in. They will think of three of the common stereotypical jobs in that sector. Then, they will do research to discover four more unique or less common options. For each new career they think of, they must find out the education required to get that job the skills needed before you can be hired the daily activities that you will do the pay range At the end, students can pick their favourite option from the four new careers they have researched and present what they have discovered to the class. Grades to Use With: This project is great to use with high school students (in grades 8-12) in regular or special education classes. It would work well for a career and personal planning course!
