Space - Bell Ringers, Class Warm-Ups, and Exit Tickets
Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Space, Grade 9, 10, Activities
This Space unit comes with 23 days’ worth of materials that relate directly to your unit. This activity bundle is geared towards a grade 7-9 science class but will also work well for an advanced grade 5-6 or a lower-level grade 10-11 class. They can be used at the start of a class in the form of a bell ringer/class warm-up or at the end of class as an exit ticket This resource is set up for a space class and includes the topics listed below. Please have a look at the list of topics This resource covers the following topics - Space - An Introduction - Our Solar System - The Life and Death of Stars - The Seasons and Earth's Tilt - The Moon - Eclipse - Solar and Lunar - Galaxies, Other Objects and the Universe - The Immensity of the Universe - Life in outer space - how humans meet their needs These are meant to be used each day, however, the question periods are directly associated with topic lessons, so they are done on days that follow the completion of a lesson. For example, after you finish your lesson, you’d give your students the questions associated with the ecosystems lesson. Additional days will utilize the Quotes and Videos sections. There are two key reasons why this daily activity works: 1) It encourages your students to review their notes on a nightly basis so they’re ready for class. 2) It creates a routine in your classroom that encourages your student to arrive and get settled for class quickly and quietly. Once we’re done, the students are ready for class and have already gotten their brains working and thinking science. The Activities 1) Questions: Question types - Fill in the blanks - Short answer - Opinion - Drawing - Mix of above ● Everything will be included in your PowerPoint ● All questions relate directly to the previous lesson and work to test your students’ understanding ● If students are absent, they know they need to get caught up while away ● This process encourages students to keep up with the material and review their notes nightly 2) Quotes The quotes come from individuals and relate directly to the overarching topic. On these days, I have students read the quote and write down what they feel it means and/or the underlying message. 3) Videos The videos are an excellent way to settle your class down quickly and easily. Each video is selected specifically because it's interesting and relevant to students. Each video can be accessed directly from the slide. Simply click the video image while in slideshow mode and the video will automatically open in your browser. Process ● Each week, I hand out the week’s [Topic Name] - Student Worksheet ○ You can make this activity completely digital by making the sheet available online and have them submit it there as well ● As soon as the bell rings to start class, I hand the sheets out to my students. Once the sheets are out, I start the 4-minute timer. If students are late, they miss out on their time. ● Once the timer finishes, the students flip over their papers and pass them to the front. Structure Each day’s activities, unless otherwise stated, are to be done individually and without notes. However, depending on the ability level of your students, you may want to have them work in pairs and/or use their notes. Marking We all have enough marking already and the last thing we want to do is add to our pile. However, I’ve found that this process is so streamlined and efficient that I’m easily able to mark these while my students are working in class or copying down notes. Typically, I mark only the Questions section. However, if I’m busy or don’t have time in class, I won’t and that’s OK. The point of this isn’t to make your job harder but to help your students stay on track and keep focused. Additionally, I’ll mark one of the other sections (Quote or Video) at least every other week. Each day’s mark is out of 5 but since there aren’t always 5 questions (usually it’s somewhere between 1-3), I base my mark on their understanding of what I’ve asked them to complete. This can come across as subjective, but I’ve found it gives me an excellent indication of their knowledge and keeping it consistent makes things better for everyone. Keep in mind that the outline above describes how I use them in my class. Feel free to change it up however you like (including the questions as the entire thing is completely editable). Other teachers I’ve spoken to only utilize the questions following a lesson or only mark the questions following a lesson and for the other days, show the relevant videos but don’t require their students to submit anything. A few people only mark one submission per week while others mark everything. It’s completely up to you. Whether you use Questions, Quotes, or Videos in any given lesson, your goal is to create a routine, promote understanding, and get your students thinking about science as soon as they enter your class. If you have any questions, please send me an email - devon@teachwithfergy.com

The Southern Colonies in North America, a classroom skit
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities
This play complements the other plays I have on TeachSimple about the colonial era in American History. You can also find the Life in the Middle Colonies and Life in the New England Colonies plays here. My 7th graders have enjoyed these for years. However, these work well for all grades between 6th and 12th. History comes alive in the classroom when students are using plays and skits. Reader's Theater is a great way to enhance any lesson, including the southern colonies, either to introduce some of the characteristics of this region or reinforce what you have been teaching. There are four roles in this play. It will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Although the play was created by me it is based on an actual historical figure of that time - Henry Middleton and the Middleton family. The Middleton Plantation still exists in the Charleston area in South Carolina. The gardens he started are still there. All of my skits are written to engage students and get them thinking. This is what I call a "lesson enhancer". It will help add to any lesson on life in the southern English provinces.

"The Gettysburg Address, A Reenactment" - A History Play
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities
As a classroom teacher I love to get my students up and active in class! Here is another chance to do just that by reenacting Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. This play/reenactment is meant to enhance any lesson you may have about the Civil War (especially the importance of Gettysburg), government (the equality of all people), famous speeches, etc... It usually takes my class about 15-20 minutes to complete -have fun! The play/reenactment has three brief scenes: 1) the morning of the 19th of November at the David Wills house, 2) arrival of Lincoln to the dedication around noon, and 3) the Gettysburg Address. Everyone in your class can get involved from Lincoln to being in the crowd. I try to use many sources when writing my lessons, plays, etc...lf possible, I really like to use eyewitness accounts. This reenactment uses the memories of three different eyewitnesses there that day. One of the eyewitnesses, William Rathvon, was literally within about 15 feet of Lincoln. Seventy five years later, a much older William Rathvon will make the only known recording of an eyewitness to the Gettysburg Address. It's fascinating! You can easily find that recording online. Another eyewitness, Sarah A Cooke (Myers), was well-known to many in Pennsylvania to have recounted what she experienced at Gettysburg, including shaking the hand of the President. Finally, Joseph Goulden, later Congressman Goulden, was just 18 when he listened to Lincoln. Later, he said Lincoln's words were part of the inspiration for him to join the United States Marine Corps during the Civil War. I hope you enjoy this reenactment as much as my students do! It will help any of your lessons "come alive" in the classroom and should lead to some great classroom discussion, as well!
