If your curriculum includes teaching about the U.S. Presidents and/or voting, then this is the product for you. If you are teaching about one, but not the other, then you get a bonus set of worksheets and activities. Either way, it’s a big win, especially for your 8th graders, 8th graders, and 9th graders. Learners in those grades will be fully engaged in several U.S. History, Civics, ELA, and research assignments. Concepts presented meet the requirements of current state standards. But the best part is that learners will not simply memorize facts for a test and quickly forget them. Instead, they will research, create, and use reasoning skills while learning about topics which they can use throughout their lives. They will be introduced to the requirements of being U.S. President, fun facts about previous presidents and First Ladies, and the history of our country’s two major political parties. Then, learners will move on to learn about campaigning with slogans and political ads. Finally, they’ll focus on the timeline of voting, crucial issues, and whether voting is a right, privilege, or responsibility. In all of these activities, learners will research, design and draw, poll/interview peers and adults, as well as effectively use three different types of writing. The product is rounded out with a set of task cards in which learners will answer questions regarding U.S. Presidents. You simply cannot go wrong with this product. Use it in November while teaching about voting. Then, in February, use it again for Presidents’ Day. Many of the activities can be used in large or small group settings. They also work well for individual or homework assignments. Many pages are available in a color version, while all are available in black & white. This product also contains a set of full color Power Point slides to correspond with the political party assignment. Below are the details of each activity found within this product. PAGE 1: learners will read the requirements to be U.S. President and answer questions about their eligibility and reasons for wanting to hold this office.

Then, they will research whether the information is true or false. PAGE 7: learners will choose to write a newspaper article on the resignation of Richard Nixon or the assassination of John F. Kennedy. PAGE 8: learners will read unique campaign slogans from former U.S. Presidents. Then, they will create their own slogan. PAGE 9: learners will create a television commercial, social media feed video, or campaign flyer to get their message out about running for office. PAGE 10: learners will fill-in the blanks of the last names of 10 former U.S. Presidents and then find said names in the wordsearch. PAGE 11: learners will complete a crossword puzzle using clues about former U.S. Presidents. PAGE 12: learners will use the Power Point slides to learn about our country’s two major political parties. They will use the information to answer 8 questions. PAGES 13-14: lists of U.S. Presidents and their political party to be used with various activities. PAGES 15-19: learners will research and list the pros and cons of three given topics to focus on becoming a responsible voter. They will also complete reflection questions about the assignment. PAGE 20: learners will complete a WebQuest about presidential fun facts. PAGE 21: learners will read the names of three people on a ballot. They will cross out the name of the person who was not an actual nominee and circle the name of the candidate who won that particular voting year. PAGES 22-33: learners will work with a partner to research and present information on “hot topics” during specific election campaigns. They will choose from 4 types of final presentations. PAGES 34-40: learners will complete a voting timeline by researching significant points in the process to vote in our country. Then, they will interview peers and adults to gain perspective on whether voting is a right, privilege, or responsibility. Finally, learners will write a persuasion essay about the necessity to vote, using the information learned from the voting timeline and interview assignment. PAGES 41-46: learners will use information learned throughout the various activities to answer questions about U.S. Presidents presented in a set of 20 task cards.

The Magna Carta - the Great Charter, a classroom play
Social Studies, Government, History, History: British, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities
Having my students involved in the learning process in my room is so much fun. Here is a 10-15 minute play to help bring alive history in your classroom! I use the Magna Carta play to help introduce the important topic of the Magna Carta. The overall theme, of course, is that no king (or government) is above the law. Three of the "rights" claimed by the unhappy barons are mentioned in the play, too. Currently, I am using this as part of an American History classroom. We are learning about the Roots of Representative Government. However, this resource can be used in many ways when learning about democracy, rights, the English Bill or Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and more. All have been influenced by Magna Carta. Students love being active while learning, and this gives them the chance. Every student can be involved if you choose. There are non-speaking parts like the "Knights of the King." Enjoy!

This Atlantis reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Atlantis Genre: Nonfiction (informational passage about a myth/story’s origins and meaning) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies (Myths & ancient world references) Primary Topic: Atlantis in writing, details, and “lesson” meaning Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): T What This Lesson Teaches Best Identifying where an idea “first appears in writings” and tracking its source (the passage names Plato and two dialogues). Visualizing and describing setting details from informational text (rings of water, bridges, gates, canals, temples, palace). Cause/effect in a legend: how pride and disrespect lead to destruction (earthquakes, floods, island vanishes; travel becomes hard). Distinguishing story-meaning vs scientific proof: stories can warn; science looks for “rocks, ruins, and dates.” Understanding how a name becomes a symbol for “anything lost and longed for” and why mysteries keep people thinking. Learning Goals Students will identify where the Atlantis story first appears and name the two dialogues the passage lists. Students will describe Atlantis’s “circles of water” using details from the passage (moats, bridges, gates, canals). Students will explain what events cause the island to vanish and how the water changes afterward. Students will summarize why people keep hunting for a real location and what “most scholars” think instead. Students will compare what the passage says stories do versus what science asks for. Students will explain how the passage describes Atlantis as a “shortcut” for things that are lost. Key Vocabulary From the Text dialogues — written conversations between speakers. moats — water ditches around a place. canals — water paths that boats can travel on. clogged — blocked so movement becomes difficult. scholars — people who study a topic deeply.

Social Scenarios – Perspective-Taking Activities
Special Resources, Life Skills, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Activities
Perspective Taking is a very important and complex social skill for children to learn. These 4 differentiated Social Scenario activities will help children who struggle to understand the importance of considering other's perspectives. With these activities, children will practice perspective taking using a wide variety of social scenarios which will help them to be more thoughtful and make better decisions in real life social situations. This activity leads to great discussions and really encourages children to think about others in a wide variety of social situations. Great to use in social groups, friendship groups and lunch bunches. Can be used as a whole class lesson too. I created these activities because my students were struggling to understand a variety of everyday social situations and how to handle them. The practice and discussion is very helpful for them. I hope it can be helpful for your students as well!
