This 36-page lesson plan, Tecumseh's Speech to the Osage- Primary Source Analysis, Questions, Discussion, and Assessment, provides teachers with all the materials and strategies they need to help their 6th through 9th grade students navigate a difficult and important speech in American History. Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader, was a masterful orator who used his skills to convince other tribes to join him in resisting white settler encroachment on indigenous land. As your students navigate the text, through 4 different readings, they will build an understanding of the context and origin (reading 1), the Big Idea (reading 2), the purpose and argument (reading 3) and will draw important conclusions as they think like a historian. (reading 4). Besides the 4-Reads lesson plan, there is a lesson plan in which teachers can introduce or review what primary source documents are and why they are important. The lesson includes Tecumseh's speech and a paraphrased version so you can differentiate for your ELL, RSP, 504, and struggling students. The standards- aligned lesson includes the following: objectives and learning targets an Essential Question: What strategies for resistance and unity emerge from indigenous voices in the face of colonial expansion? 3 Guiding Questions: 1. How does Tecumseh appeal to a sense of shared identity and purpose among indigenous peoples in his speech? 2.

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?

As a homeschool mom, guiding my own 9th-grade daughter through high school history has shown me firsthand just how crucial it is to find resources that do not just relay facts, but truly spark critical thinking through a biblical lens. That is why I'm so excited about the Russo-Ukrainian War: A Christian Call For Justice and Peace resource! It really tackles a current event that's deeply impacted our world, offering a unique chance for our high schoolers/homeschoolers to thoughtfully engage with challenging global issues from a distinctly Christian worldview. I truly designed this passage, Q&A, and those helpful note-taking sheets specifically to help your student/homeschooler understand the conflict's origins, its profound humanitarian impact, and the intricate ethical dilemmas it presents, all while grounding their learning in timeless Christian principles of justice, compassion, and peace. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: A detailed reading passage exploring the Russo-Ukrainian War from a Christian Worldview. 20 thought-provoking, complex passage questions designed for deep critical thinking. A detailed, guided answer key to facilitate understanding and for easy grading. 5 note-taking sheets to encourage students/homeschoolers to take notes. TOPICS COVERED: Historical Roots and Geopolitical Context of the Conflict. Christian Ethical Evaluation of War ( The Humanitarian Crisis and Christian Mandates for Compassion. The Intersection of Faith, Nationalism, and the Church's Prophetic Role. As a homeschool mom, I truly believe the Russo-Ukrainian War: A Christian Call For Justice and Peace resource is so much more than just a reading passage. Honestly, it is a meticulously crafted tool for both spiritual and intellectual growth, designed with your high schooler/homeschooler in mind. My goal was to equip them to navigate complex global events, not just with facts, but with true wisdom and heartfelt compassion. The rigorous questions, in-depth analysis, and practical note-taking aids are not just busywork; they are there to prepare your student/homeschooler not only for robust discussions right now in your homeschool but also for the critical thinking and nuanced understanding required for college-level studies in history, political science, and even theology.

This no-prep short fantasy story with analysis activities is perfect for a 1-2 day sub plan or as an introduction to a larger unit on story-genre or creative writing. Richard Post’s “The Lost Room” will appropriately introduce the elements of fantasy storytelling to your students, and the included analysis questions and response essay assignment are designed to build strong analysis and writing skills. Planning a week-long unit around this resource could not be easier! Start by handing out the story and analysis questions to your students and let them read the story and answer the questions (or read the story aloud and answer the questions as a discussion - your choice!). Once you feel your students are ready for their understanding of the story to be assessed, hand out the literary analysis essay assignment. The essay's prompt is based upon response questions and the worksheet also includes literary analysis writing tips, a peer review checklist, and Common Core-aligned rubric for straightforward grading. Your download includes the following: - The short fantasy narrative "The Lost Room," by Richard Post (written exclusively for The Language of Educational Art) - NINE accompanying response questions (w/ answer key) designed to further your students' understanding of the structure and thematic concepts found in fantasy stories - A self-checking Easel activity version of the analysis questions - A literary analysis essay assignment that builds on students' understanding of "The Lost Room" and how fantasy narratives are structured (40 points - tied to FOUR Common Core Standards) SYNOPSIS OF ‘THE LOST ROOM’: "In Benjamin’s childhood home there was a small room and in that small room was a small door and beyond that small door was the Lost Room." Thus begins Richard Post's allegory about the child Benjamin and the tall wizard Appa Drepa, who guides Benjamin on his journey from the Lost Room to the Tree of Knowledge, the evil Determinator, and the Gold Key to the One Room. Appropriate for all ages, middle and high school students will be challenged by the "The Lost Room's" symbolism and themes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Post came late to writing YA literature, but he has been a storyteller and raconteur his entire life. When he’s not writing short stories for The Language of Educational Art, he enjoys fishing for rock bass on Higgins Lake, hunting pheasants on the farms of mid-Michigan, bottling sun pickles (here's his famous recipe ), hosting “whoopie” parties for his grandchildren, and playing cribbage. He lives with his wife Beverly in St. Louis, Michigan and Orange Beach, Alabama. Although this resource can be fitted for any secondary Language Arts classroom, it has been carefully designed to work best in grades 9 through 12. The included activities and rubric are subtly but specifically tied to Common Core ELA Standards for Language (1 and 2), Reading Literature (2), and Writing (2). This resource is provided as a print-ready, bookmarked, and adjustable PDF file. This resource contains 13 pages.

The product aligns with New York State Regents examination format in United States History and Government, part II.

Structure & Content World War II No. 1 features Stimulus-Based Short-Essay Questions modeled after the new New York State Regents exam format in United States History and Government (Framework). The structure comprises two sets of paired documents with accompanying prompts mirroring the prototype examination provided by NYSED in June 2019.

The focus lies on establishing connections between events or ideas within those document pairs through understanding cause/effect, noting similarities/differences or pinpointing significant turning points. A key approach includes analyzing audience perspective, understanding purpose bias indication or point-of-view affecting whether the document could be considered as a reliable piece of evidence from history's vantage point. Educational Strategy & Grading Rubric Routinely assigning tasks followed by constructive feedback sessions where learners can assess peer work anonymously setting the stage for learning enhancement through collective inputs. Each question follows a strict rubric based on five clear grading points, aimed at developing deeper student understanding and evoking stronger responses.

Civic Literacy Essay for Week 10, Regents US History The Challenge of Creating a Stable Representative Government. This Civic Literacy essay is based on a set of primary source documents. The question is designed to test a student's ability to work with historical documents. In analyzing the documents, students consider the source of each document and any point of view that may be presented. The language and images used in a document may reflect the historical context of the time in which it was created.

Teachers preparing students for the New York State Regents will find it difficult to train students to write these well if they wait until the end of the year! Each of the civic literacy essays authored by Innovation Assessments LLC are designed for different points in the year such that documents come from historical context usually under study. Here is a blog article about teaching document-based essays that will be helpful. Historical Context of this essay prompt: The Challenge of Creating a Stable Representative Government. Throughout United States history, many constitutional and civic issues have been debated by Americans. These debates have resulted in efforts by individuals, groups, and governments to address these issues. These efforts have achieved varying degrees of success. One of these constitutional and civic issues is the challenge of creating a stable representative Government. The product also includes passcodes to my own virtual classroom at Innovation. Give students the passcodes for access to review videos with embedded, auto-corrected questions.

Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 11, Teacher Tools, Assessments
US History Regents Short Essay "Jeffersonian Revolution" + Video Lessons 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.

"Development of Civilization": Regents Global 9 CRQ + Video Lessons
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments
Regents Global 9 CRQ "Development of Civilization" + 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.
