"The Coercive Acts and the First Continental Congress" - A History Play
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
I love using this when we are in our Road to Revolution unit . It is a fun way to learn about the punishments of the Coercive Acts and the emergency meeting of the Continental Congress. I organize a table in the middle of the room with a Union Jack flag sitting somewhere on it. I make the table look official with some other props, too. Off to the side I put a chair for my "throne". The King and Baines stay in that area. The Members of Parliament sit around the table first. They change places with the Colonists later in the play. Afterwards, we debrief and I ask them questions about what the Coercive Acts (each one) and then what was accomplished at the First Continental Congress.

Glory Road (2006) – Complete Movie Guide
P.E. & Health, ELA, Sports, Physical Education, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities
"Glory Road" is a sports drama film based on the true story of the 1965-66 Texas Western College basketball team, which made history by becoming the first team with an all-Black starting lineup to win the NCAA national championship. The movie follows coach Don Haskins, played by Josh Lucas, as he recruits talented but overlooked Black players from across the country to join his team. The players face discrimination and racism both on and off the court, but with Haskins' guidance and leadership, they learn to work together and overcome the odds. The team's success attracts national attention, and they face intense pressure and scrutiny as they compete in the NCAA tournament. The climactic championship game against the heavily favored University of Kentucky becomes a watershed moment in the history of college basketball and a symbol of progress in the struggle for civil rights. The movie was praised for its inspiring message of perseverance and unity in the face of adversity, as well as its depiction of the challenges and sacrifices made by athletes and activists fighting for racial equality. This 16-question movie guide will help keep the students during the movie! Teacher created and student approved! Enjoy! Ready to use - no prep! The video is available on iTuens and Amazon Prime.
