Truman and the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, played a pivotal role in the development and use of atomic bombs during World War II. Truman assumed the presidency on April 12, 1945, following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At that time, the Manhattan Project , a secret research program focused on developing atomic weapons, was already underway. As President, Truman was faced with a difficult decision regarding the use of atomic bombs against Japan. The Manhattan Project had successfully created two atomic bombs, and Truman had to decide whether to deploy them as a means to end the war. After the war, Truman focused on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. He supported the creation of the United Nations and played a key role in establishing the Baruch Plan, which proposed international control of atomic energy to prevent further proliferation. Truman's decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains one of the most consequential actions of his presidency. It ushered in the nuclear age, shaped the course of history, and sparked ongoing discussions about the use and ethics of atomic weapons. 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). This graphic organizer gives students two primary source quotes regarding Truman's use of the bomb. The notes then explain some pro/con arguments about the use of the bomb. Lastly, the notes give students a chance to look at the six immediate effects of the bomb. Comes with a fill-in-the-blank version. Clipart Credit: By PrincePadania

Class Economy: Grade 4-7 Math, Financial Literacy and SS
Life Studies, Social Studies, Business, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Money, Subtraction, Economics, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
Do you want to teach your middle grades students in grades 4-7 about simple economics? Do you want help around the classroom with chores such as tidying up and putting away chairs? Then implement this class economy routine and teach your students about basic financial literacy, banking, and economics! Teacher Instructions: Set-Up: • This classroom economy is completely editable: leave it as it is or change it for your specific needs! • Review the jobs on page 3 and change them as necessary. Then print one copy of that page to sign up your students for one term (12 weeks), or you can type the names straight into the chart each week. • Review page 4. Add your class name at the top. Change the rewards to suit your class. Then print a double-sided page 4 & 5 for each of your students to keep in their binders. This is also enough for one term (12 weeks). Each week: • On the first Friday, give your students the handout and assign 2-3 students to each job. Explain what they must do to successfully complete their job next week. For example, the floor inspectors must check the floor before lunch and at the end of each day and clean up any paper or garbage. • Show your students the sample bank balance on page 6. Walk through how to complete the math and find the two missing balances ($20 and $30) together. • Discuss what fines and bonuses you might use. For example, students might earn $5 for being a great friend to someone who needs it, and they might incur a $5 fine for speaking out of turn repeatedly. • Each week, take 20 minutes on Friday to assign the jobs for next week. Students fill out their bank account balance and get it checked by the teacher. •Students can use their excess money to shop for rewards (and they may combine money together to get a large reward like a class movie). Inflation: • If you want to teach your students an extra lesson, incorporate some inflation into your economy. • After 8-10 weeks, let your students know that the desk rental price is increasing to $35. • Add $5 to each job salary. • Talk about how this will decrease their purchasing power, much like rising prices and stagnating salaries do in the real world. What's Included: 6 Pages in and EDITABLE Powerpoint - Step-by-step teacher instructions for this simple class routine: once started, it should take only 20 minutes every week! - Digital or printable weekly sign-up sheet with 8 class jobs - Student handout with instructions and 8 reward options - Student bank balance worksheet - Sample bank balance sheet: show your class and practice adding up deposits and withdrawals Grades to Use With: This classroom economy is specifically designed for students in the middle grades (4-7).
