Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech- = Analysis, Questions, Assessment

Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech- = Analysis, Questions, Assessment
Social Studies, First Peoples (Native), History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Assessments, Teacher Tools

History comes alive in your 6th to 9th grade classrooms when you introduce compelling primary source texts for analysis. But analyzing a primary source document can be challenging for your students to understand. This 33-page resource, Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech- Primary Source Analysis, Questions, Discussion, and Assessment offers teachers two lesson plans : an introduction or review of what primary sources are and how to analyze a primary source document by reading it 4 times for specific purposes. The 4-Reads approach has students reading, discussing, and answering questions to understand the context and origin of the document, discover the Big idea, establish the purpose or argument, and to read like a historian. Student discussions are engaging, lively, and collaborative as they delve deeply into understanding Tecumseh's speech, his reasoning and values as the indigenous tribes confronted encroaching land settlement and theft from white settlers. The lesson comes with 2 assessments : a multiple choice and short answer assessment and a creative "Say, Mean. Matter" assessment in which students choose a quote, passage, or paragraph from the speech, explain what it means, and analyzes why it matters. A copy of the primary source, Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech as well as a paraphrased version is included so you can provide differentiated instruction for your ELL, RSP, 504, and struggling readers. The standards- aligned lesson includes the following: objectives and learning targets an Essential Question: How do indigenous perspectives on land and nature challenge dominant narratives of ownership and exploitation? 3 Guiding Questions: 1. How does Tecumseh challenge the concept of land ownership in his speech? 2. What arguments does Tecumseh make regarding the interconnectedness of land and air? and 3. How does Tecumseh's speech reflect indigenous perspectives on the environment and natural resources? A convenient "About this Resource" orients teachers to everything included in the lesson A link to the force copy of the google doc, which you can edit. Lesson Plan 1: Primary and Secondary Sources Lesson Plan 2: Four Reads: Reading and Analyzing a Primary Source Document Primary Source Document Original and Paraphrase: 4 Reads Questions and Answer key Multiple choice and Short Answer Assessment and Answer Key Say, Mean, Matter Assessment

It’s great to do one of these each unit, so I have organized them by time period. For additional resources in US and Global history, please visit my store here! The first of the world wars had transformative effects on the society of the United States. Women achieved the right to vote. African Americans veterans demanded equality in exchange for wartime service. People sought freedom and greater democracy. Others feared communists and anarchists around every corner. Document set 1: describe the historical context; identify and explain the relationship between the events and/or ideas found in those documents (Cause/Effect or Similarity/Difference or Turning Point). Document set 2: describe the historical context; analyze the reliability of one source.

ELA, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Research, Resources for Teachers, Social Studies, History, History: World, High School, Homeschool Resources, Middle School, Worksheets & Printables, Activities, Crosswords Puzzles, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Assessments

Take your students on a mouthwatering journey around the globe with this resource - Cooking Around The World: A Culinary Exploration . I created this resource because I believe food isn't just about eating—it's about stories, heritage, and the beautiful ways people connect across cultures. Your students/homeschoolers will dive into rich descriptions of cooking traditions from Peru to Japan, discovering how each recipe tells a story of human creativity and adaptation. Through an engaging reading passage, thoughtful questions, and hands-on activities, they'll explore how something as everyday as cooking reveals our shared humanity. These materials do double duty: building essential reading skills while opening students'/homeschoolers' eyes to the diverse and delicious ways people around the world express their cultural identity through food. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: ✓High-quality reading passage about global cooking traditions and cultural significance ✓20 in-depth comprehension questions with complete answer key ✓Engaging crossword puzzle with solution key ✓10 versatile note-taking sheets for structured learning ✓Professionally formatted materials ready for immediate classroom use ✓Complete references list in MLA format for academic integrity TOPICS COVERED: ✓Cultural significance of food beyond basic nutrition ✓Unique cooking techniques from around the world ✓Historical food migrations and culinary exchanges ✓Indigenous food preparation methods ✓Mediterranean, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, and Peruvian culinary traditions ✓Relationship between geography and food development ✓Evolution of fusion cuisine in modern cooking ✓Cross-cultural food preservation techniques ✓Connection between cooking and human creativity What I love most about this Cooking Around The World: A Culinary Exploration resource is how it helps students/homeschoolers see beyond the classroom/homeschool walls. When kids discover why tandoor ovens create those distinctive smoky flavors in Indian breads or how Chinese wok cooking developed to conserve precious fuel, they're gaining insights that stick with them for life. The way food connects to geography, history, and cultural values becomes wonderfully clear. I have included a full set of academic references because I have found students/homeschoolers often want to dive deeper into specific cuisines that capture their imagination. fAt its heart, this resource turns something as familiar as food into a window through which students can better understand themselves and their place in our beautifully diverse world. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

CRQ: On Social Advancement, Regents Global 10 + Video Lessons
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments

CRQ: On Social Advancement, Regents Global 10 + Video Lessons This product is a constructed-response question (“CRQ”) in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in Global History and Geography. The CRQ calls upon the student to examine historical sources (I use exclusively primary sources) by providing historical or geographic context, identifying the point of view, intended audience, or purpose of a document and then using the two documents in either compare-contrast, cause-effect analysis, or turning point identification. I advocate a strategy of assigning one CRQ in each unit of study in grades nine and ten without access to notes. I used this as one of the tests at the end of a unit of study. I would tell students about what kinds of documents would appear and what historical context they should be able to recall in advance. It is a challenging task for them. The first challenge for novices is to understand what it means to provide context. Faced with the question “What is the historical context of this document?”, beginners will retell what the document says. The reason for this mistake is that, since they were little kids, teachers have asked them to relate what a text means to prove they understood it.

US History Regents Short Essay "Reconstruction No. 3" + Video Lessons The repeated and continuing challenge of the United States is to incorporate citizens in a multi-ethnic nation-state. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the challenge of integrating former slaves in the south was met. In the west in the late 19th century, in was addressing the presence of native peoples whose presence predated white Americans. This product is a short essay task in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in US History and Government. The updated New York State Regents examination in United States History and Government, part II, is a short essay task designed to measure students’ ability to work with historic documents. It is a mature version of the “CRQ” found on the tenth grade Global Regents. Students are called upon to understand text, engage it with historical context, and assess a text’s reliability. In document set 1, students describe the historical context surrounding two documents and identify and explain the relationship between the events and/or ideas found in those documents (Cause/Effect or Similarity/Difference or Turning Point). Document set 2 asks students to describe the historical context surrounding two documents and (for one identified document) analyze and explain how audience, or purpose, or bias, or point of view affects the document’s use as a reliable source of evidence. [Read more about teaching this at the Innovation blog ] If you are afraid to assign your students this as a test because they are not likely to do well at first and don’t want to bother their GPA, I recommend using standardized scoring. You can use the z-score calculator here at Innovation Assessments. Use 78 as your standard mean and 14.8 as your standardized standard deviation. Read more about standardized scoring here and where I got those figures. The beauty of this system is you can apply this to their grades every month and as the class improves, as the class average approaches the standardized mean (78 in this case), then the algorithm affects their scores less and less.

CRQ "Belief Systems No. 2" & Video Lessons: Regents Global 9
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments

CRQ "Belief Systems No. 2" & Video Lessons: Regents Global 9 This product is a constructed-response question (“CRQ”) in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in Global History and Geography. The CRQ calls upon the student to examine historical sources (I use exclusively primary sources) by providing historical or geographic context, identifying the point of view, intended audience, or purpose of a document and then using the two documents in either compare-contrast, cause-effect analysis, or turning point identification. I advocate a strategy of assigning one CRQ in each unit of study in grades nine and ten without access to notes. I used this as one of the tests at the end of a unit of study. I would tell students about what kinds of documents would appear and what historical context they should be able to recall in advance. It is a challenging task for them. The first challenge for novices is to understand what it means to provide context. Faced with the question “What is the historical context of this document?”, beginners will retell what the document says. The reason for this mistake is that, since they were little kids, teachers have asked them to relate what a text means to prove they understood it.
