Cesar Chavez (2014): Movie Guide and Graphic Organizer
ELA, Social Studies, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Graphic Organizers, Teacher Tools
The movie follows Chavez's early life as a migrant farm worker and his subsequent rise to prominence as a leader of the United Farm Workers (UFW) union. Throughout the film, Chavez and his colleagues fight for the rights of migrant workers, organizing strikes and boycotts to improve their working conditions and wages. The film highlights some of the key moments in Chavez's life, including his participation in the Delano grape strike of 1965, which became a significant turning point in the struggle for labor rights in the United States. Chavez and his colleagues faced many obstacles in their fight for justice, including resistance from powerful growers and opposition from some members of the community who did not understand or support their cause. Despite these challenges, Chavez remained committed to his principles of nonviolent protest and social justice. His efforts eventually led to the creation of the UFW, which became a powerful force for change in the labor movement and inspired other marginalized groups to fight for their rights. The film portrays Chavez as a humble and dedicated leader, who was willing to make personal sacrifices for the sake of his cause. It also highlights the important role played by Chavez's wife, Helen (Rosario Dawson), and the many other activists and supporters who worked alongside him. The movie concludes with a message of hope and inspiration, as it shows the impact of Chavez's legacy on subsequent generations of activists and the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality. These 25 teacher-generated questions are designed to help students focus in on key information during this powerful movie. This movie guide comes with some additional background information about the Bracero program and it also comes with a Cesar Chavez character map. Ready to print and use! Comes with a completed answer key! Thumbnail Clipart Credit: Prince Padania

The Cuban Missile Crisis: Graphic Organizer
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day political and military standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union in October 1962. The crisis was sparked when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union had secretly installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the US coastline. The US saw this as a direct threat to their national security. On October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy announced the discovery of the missiles and imposed a naval quarantine on Cuba, blocking Soviet ships from delivering more missiles. The Soviet Union responded by stating that the quarantine was an act of aggression and refused to remove the missiles. For the next 13 days, the world was on the brink of nuclear war. The US military was put on high alert, and Kennedy established the Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM) to advise him on the crisis. Kennedy and his advisors considered several options, including a military strike on Cuba, a full-scale invasion, and a naval blockade. They also communicated with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev through diplomatic channels to try to find a peaceful solution. On October 28, Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for a US promise not to invade Cuba and to remove US missiles from Turkey. The crisis was over, and nuclear war had been avoided. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a defining moment in the Cold War, demonstrating the danger of nuclear weapons and the need for international diplomacy and cooperation. It also led to improved communication and a "hotline" between the US and the Soviet Union to prevent future crises. 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 notes give students an overview of Cuban Missile Crisis, the main players in the crisis, and the 13-days where the world stood at the brink of nuclear war. These notes also come complete with a fill-in-the-blank student version. Clipart Credit: Dandy Doodles

Daily Temperature Checks: Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
P.E. & Health, Life Studies, Physical Education, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Graphic Organizers
Understanding our students' emotions and feelings is crucial in today's teaching environment. It's clear from current research that Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs are not just a "nice-to-have" but an integral component of contemporary education. Beyond enhancing academic performance, SEL programs directly contribute to improved interpersonal skills, a reduction in behavioral challenges, and overall better student well-being. Regardless of where you're teaching, be it a conventional classroom or over digital platforms like Zoom, tuning into our students' emotional states is indispensable. Those regular moments when we check in with them, asking "How are you feeling today?", provide us with valuable insights. It goes beyond just grades and test scores. It's our way of telling them, "Your emotions matter, and we're here to listen." To aid in this process, I'd like to introduce a straightforward yet effective tool: a collection of 90 slides crafted for daily emotional check-ins. These aren’t mere slides ; think of them as the start of meaningful conversations, as thermometers for the day's mood, and as channels for students to share their innermost feelings. And the practical aspect? It's straightforward. If you're teaching online, students can simply type out their responses in the chat. In a face-to-face scenario? A student can just raise fingers indicating their emotional state. It’s a method that's swift and tells you the pulse of your class in a jiffy. In a nutshell, these slides aren’t just another resource. They’re connectors, bridges to deeper understanding. By weaving them into your daily lessons, you're subtly, yet powerfully, communicating that their emotional health is just as paramount as their academic achievements. In the realm of 21st-century education, such affirmation is priceless.

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.
