French Revolution (2005) – Complete Video Guide
Social Studies, History, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Activities
Video overview: On July 14, 1789, a mob of angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and seized the King's military stores. A decade of idealism, war, murder, and carnage followed, bringing about the end of feudalism and the rise of equality and a new world order. The French Revolution is a definitive feature-length documentary that encapsulates this heady (and often headless) period in Western civilization. With dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus revealing accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians, The French Revolution vividly unfurls in a maelstrom of violence, discontent, and fundamental change. King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Maximilien Robespierre, and Napoleon Bonaparte lead a cast of thousands in this essential program from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator, Gilmore Girls), The French Revolution explores the legacy that--now more than ever--stands as both a warning and a guidepost to a new millennium. These 56 teacher-generated questions are designed to help students focus in on key information during the video. The video is titled "The French Revolution" and can be found here: French Revolution History Channel Documentary (2005). This video guide is ready to print and use! Comes with a completed answer key and main character chart ! Enjoy! Clipart Credit (French Revolution Title): By Cartoon Ed, Lovely Jubblies Teach, and by Prince Padania

Distributive Property-Greatest Common Factor Card Game
Algebra, Grade 6, Activities, Games, Worksheets
Distributive Property-Greatest Common Factor Card Game This resource is a card game for students to practice using the greatest common factor to write a distributive property expression. Included in this resource are 24 cards in PDF format. That is 6 on each page. Game Directions for this Distributive Property-Greatest Common Factor Card Game: Students should play 2 or 3 to a group. Shuffle the cards and then pass out all cards. Each person should look at his/her own cards and match a factored form to a sum. Don’t let your opponents see your cards. After confirming that your matches are correct with your opponents, place them to the side. Use two books to prop up your cards so that you can see them but your opponents can’t. Taking turns, draw a card from the opponent to your right. If it matches one of your cards then put that match aside. Continue until all cards are matched. The winner is the person with the most matches. This Distributive Property-Greatest Common Factor Card Game game allows students to practice the Common Core Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.B.4 Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2). This Distributive Property-Greatest Common Factor Card Game was designed for students in 6th grade. However, any group of student who needs to review this topic would benefit from playing this game! This resource comes in a PDF with simple directions ready to print!

Class/Group Activity - Write Inequalities from Conceptual Problems
Algebra, Grade 7, Activities
This is a group/class activity for students to practice writing multi-step in inequalities. There are 4 problems with 5 possible answers each. More than one inequality may be correct. Students will discuss their choices and then must be ready to defend their answers. This activity corresponds to the Common Core math standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.4.B Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. Teacher Directions Before Lesson: Divide students into 6 groups. Assign each group a letter A – F. Cut apart inequalities. Make a “yes” box and a “no” box. If you don’t have a document camera, then copy the questions to a Power Point to display to class. (or copy to overhead sheet to display) Lesson: Have students move their desks to groups so they are able to discuss and hear everyone in their group. Give each group their corresponding inequality for #1 while placing question #1 where the class can read. Each group will decide if their inequality is correct or not and then place the inequality in the correct yes or no box. When everyone is ready, go over each inequality by having each group explain their decision. Continue in the same way for the remaining questions. You might want to make it a game and keep score.

Compound Probability NOTES & PRACTICE
Math, Statistics, Grade 7, Activities
This resource was developed to meet the requirements of the 7th Grade Statistics & Probability Standard below: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.C.8 Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams , and simulation. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.C.8.A Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.C.8.B Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams . For an event described in everyday language (e.g., "rolling double sixes"), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.

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.
