Cold War Overview: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The Cold War was a time of tension and rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until 1991. The two superpowers never fought a direct war against each other, but they were involved in many proxy wars, such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Cold War started because the United States and the Soviet Union had different ideas about how countries should be run. The United States believed in democracy, where the people elect their leaders and have individual freedoms. The Soviet Union believed in communism, where the government controls everything and everyone is equal. The United States and the Soviet Union both wanted to spread their ideas and influence around the world, which led to a lot of tension between them. They also built up huge military forces, including nuclear weapons, to try to scare each other into backing down. The most dangerous time during the Cold War was in 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviet Union had secretly put nuclear missiles in Cuba, which is very close to the United States. The United States demanded that the missiles be removed, and there was a tense standoff between the two superpowers. Eventually, the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles, and the crisis was over. The Cold War ended in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. The United States emerged as the world's only superpower, and there was a lot of hope for peace and cooperation between countries. While there are still tensions between countries today, the world is much more peaceful than it was during the Cold War. Teacher-prepared notes show students what is important and how ideas relate, and offer a model for how students should take notes themselves (Marzano et al., 2001). These teacher-created notes will help your students grasp the major events of the Cold War era. These notes work well as a supplement to class readings! Thumbnail and product clipart credit: By PrincePadania and byDandy Doodles This product provides students with an easy-to-understand overview of the major issues, leaders, and events associated with the Cold War.

This is our THEME section of our Graphic Organizers Series: The FIVE Elements of a Story. In this set, you can enjoy 10 custom graphic organizers for Theme. These graphic organizers can be used in any classroom, for any grade, and with any student. Use these graphic organizers to help students gain an understanding of Theme in a story. Each graphic organizer comes with instructions on how to use them. Theme Graphic Organizers: Inference Clues – Infer the theme and its meaning from the story by using clues the author gives you. Write down clues to the theme in the circles. Then, find the theme based on these clues and write it in the Inference box. Discuss how you were able to come to that conclusion based on the clues from the story. Theme Prediction – Predict what you think the theme of the story will be based only on the cover art, title, and back cover description. Then, support your prediction. Follow this by writing down evidence from the story as you read along. Finally, write down the actual theme and compare this to your prediction. Theme Chart – First identify the main characters, main conflict, and theme of the story. Then, breakdown the theme of the story by first writing down the beginning of the theme. Follow this by writing the development of the theme, then the climax of the theme. Finish off with the resolution of the theme. Theme Comparison – First, write down a list of themes from the story in the first box. Then, compare these themes by writing their differences in the outside circles, and their similarities in the area where the circles overlap. Finally, write down your conclusions based on this information. Theme Tree – Complete the Theme Tree by first writing the theme on the trunk of the tree. Then, include evidence from the story to support the theme on the branches of the tree. Evidence can be in the form of quotes, paraphrasing, descriptions, and drawings. Theme Contrast – This graphic organizer helps with identifying the Theme and not getting it confused with the Plot or Main Idea of the story. Contrast the theme with the plot or main idea by comparing them and listing ONLY their differences in the two columns. Theme Connection – Connect the Theme of the story with Real Life. First, identify the theme of the story and write it in the center triangle. Then, write down examples of the theme from the story in the circles. Finally, write down examples of the theme as they appear in real life in the rectangles. Changes in Theme – Identify how the Theme changes throughout the story. In the first column, write down the theme in the beginning of the story. In the second column, write down the theme at the end of the story. Compare the two to show how the theme changes. Do this for every theme in the story. Theme Identifier – Get help identifying the Theme of a story by answering the questions. Start off by describing what happens in the story. Then, identify the most important event in the story. Explore the characters by identifying how they change and what they learn. Finally, determine what the author is trying to tell you. Theme Analysis – Identify the Theme, analyze its development, and summarize key supporting details. First, write down what you think the author wants you to understand in the triangle.

Animal Classification | Vertebrates & Invertebrates
Science, Life Sciences, Insects, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Grade 5, 6, 7, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
This resource was designed as an introductory lesson for any animal unit. Understanding the similarities and differences between different types of animals will allow students to classify animals as they study them. Included: Color and black & white version Vertebrates and invertebrates diagram Animal classification chart, can be used as a content review tool or taken for a grade. Answer key Animals, the diverse living organisms that inhabit our planet, can be broadly categorized into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. This classification is primarily based on the presence or absence of a backbone or spinal column. Vertebrates possess a well-developed internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage, while invertebrates lack a backbone and often have an exoskeleton or no skeletal structure at all. Let's delve deeper into these two groups and explore their characteristics. This animal classification into vertebrates and invertebrates provides a broad framework for understanding the vast diversity of animals on Earth. Vertebrates, with their well-developed backbone and complex nervous systems, represent a smaller but highly diverse group. In contrast, invertebrates, lacking a backbone, dominate the animal kingdom in terms of species richness and ecological adaptations. Both groups play crucial roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems and offer fascinating insights into the wonders of the animal world. Examples: Invertebrates include insects (such as ants, bees, and butterflies), arachnids (such as spiders and scorpions), mollusks (such as snails and octopuses), annelids (such as earthworms and leeches), echinoderms (such as starfish and sea urchins), and many others. It is important to note that the division between vertebrates and invertebrates is not the only way to classify animals. There are further subdivisions and classifications within each group based on various factors, such as body symmetry, habitat, reproductive strategies, and evolutionary relationships.
