It's Okay To Ask For Help | Social Skills Story and Activities | K-2nd Grade
Special Resources, Social Skills, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Activities
Stories are a great way to teach children important social skills that they may be struggling with. Social Skills Stories & Activities use clear, explicit language to break down information into small, manageable steps so that children can more easily understand what theyshouldandshould notdo in a particular social situation. This Social Skills Story is similar to the 3rd-5th grade version but with fewer words and a more simple sentence structure. The story discusses when one may need to ask for help and how to do it. As with all of my products, I am more than happy to modify this story for you. Perhaps you would like a child's name in the story, or a photo, the name of the child's school, or teacher? Just contact me in the Q and A section and let me know what you would like!

The Social Dilemma" is a 2020 docudrama movie directed by Jeff Orlowski and written by Orlowski and Davis Coombe. The movie explores the negative impact of social media on society, particularly on mental health, democracy, and privacy. The movie combines documentary footage with fictionalized scenes to illustrate the inner workings of social media companies and the algorithms they use to manipulate user behavior. It features interviews with former executives and engineers from major tech companies, including Facebook, Google, and Twitter, who discuss the ways in which social media platforms are designed to keep users engaged and addicted. The movie argues that the profit-driven business models of social media companies prioritize the maximization of engagement and user attention over ethical considerations, such as privacy and mental health. It also raises concerns about the impact of social media on democracy and political polarization, as well as the role of social media in spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. This product comes with 23-questions that will help your students get the most out of this powerful film. This product comes in PDF and Google Doc form.

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.

Cathedrals of the Middle Ages
Social Studies, History, History: British, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities
Teach your students about the cathedrals of the Middle Ages with this engaging activity. LESSON GOAL Students understand the role that cathedrals played in the religious life of people during the Middle Ages. Sections in the reading texts include information on pilgrimages, the architecture of cathedrals, religious art, and relics. TEXT EXAMPLE "During the Middle Ages, local churches played a very important role not only in people’s religious, but also their daily lives. In most places people were actually required to go to church on Sundays by law. Those who refused could be fined or even imprisoned. Churches also provided baptism for newborn babies, marriages, and funerals. Merchants and traders often held markets around churches, paying a fee to do so. Christians during the Middle Ages were also encouraged to go on pilgrimages – religious journeys – to famous holy places. Many people travelled as far as the Holy Land to visit Jerusalem – the place where they believed Jesus had been crucified and then had risen from the dead. Other popular pilgrimage destinations included Rome – where many early Christian leaders had lived and died – and the Spanish city of Compostela." PROJECTS After completing their research, students are asked to create a poster advertising a cathedral and the different attractions it would have for visitors. Project sheets are provided in a variety of different formats for you to pick from. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS The file also contains image and crossword sheets as well as information sheets with more details about five of Europe's most famous cathedrals; Chartres, Canterbury, Lincoln, Westminster Abbey, and Durham
