This comprehensive literature unit on scientific article analysis will turn your students from being passive readers into critical thinkers! True scientific literacy—being able to evaluate evidence critically—has become the most important skill of our time due to the overwhelming amount of information and misinformation in today’s society. This unit is a complete, no-prep 5-day lesson plan that will help students in middle and high school understand how to break down scientific articles. With this unit’s help, students will learn how to look at methodological procedures; how to find biases; how to tell the difference between correlation and causation; and how to develop evidence-based arguments—all of which are necessary for success in AP classes, as well as in college! This unit is appropriate for the following classes: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics and as a cross-curricular project with ELA. This resource also correlates with the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (Engaging in Argument Based on Evidence) and other Common Core Literacy standards. Included in this unit: 1. Educator & Student Master Guide (47 pgs) : Part 1 consists of an in-depth detailed core instructional guide for teachers on Scientific Reading Theory. Core principles and concepts included: IMRAD (scientific structure) ; Hierarchy of Evidence ; Identifying Fallacies Part 2 consists of constructing 10 scaffolded, grade level appropriate worksheets using High-Interest/Relevant scientific reading materials. Examples include: Anatomy of an Abstract Isolation of Variable and Control Critique Methodology Interpret Data & Statistical Literacy Correlation vs. Causation Identify Bias/Conflict of Interest Synthesize Competing Hypotheses Peer Review Simulation Part 3 consists of teacher support systems: 3 Visual Professional Anchor Charts/Posters (anatomy of a scientific argument, source credibility matrix, interrogating empirical graphics) Comprehensive Answer Key (all 10 worksheets) 5-Day Implementation/Teaching Plan: step-by-step plan to facilitate complete unit implementation successfully Will enable your students to read as scientists, question as reporters, and think as researchers; providing the necessary tools to assist in developing their confidence/skepticism towards the scientific world. How Parents and Schools Appreciate It: Teaches Skills for the 21st Century: Instead of teaching through rote memorization, this unit prepares students to learn to think critically. Students learn to use the problem-solving skills needed for success in college and their future career paths. Teaches Digital and Media Literacy: In this age of "fake news" and false claims, the unit provides students with tools to evaluate the credibility of scientific information they see online, including news headlines and social media posts. Prepares Students for Academic Challenge: The analytical skills that students develop (being able to analyze dense texts, understand research design, and base their opinion on credible evidence) give students a solid head-start into AP science classes and university studies. Comprehensive Teaching Tools for Teachers: The unit is a complete unit, and includes everything that teachers need to implement student learning. Each teacher will find all of the information and teaching materials necessary, along with a comprehensive teacher guide, ready-to-publish worksheets, visual aids, and answer key; which will save every teacher dozens of hours on the preparation and planning of each lesson.

It is an unfortunate reality that one single leak of your passwords can lead to the theft of thousands of dollars from your savings account. It is also a frightening truth that your Smart TV can watch everything you do, and that Deepfake technology exists that is able to imitate your voice with ease. The above facts alone leave an overwhelming amount of people in a vulnerable position in relation to their personal digital security. This is the purpose of the 278-page "Digital Fear is Real" guide. This guide was created with the sole purpose of providing an in-depth, complete, and easy-to-understand reference tool for every aspect of your digital life. This tool covers everything, from passwords and mobile devices to social media, smart home technology, child safety issues, financial fraud, AI-driven threats, and estate planning. This guide goes beyond the typical frightening articles that do not provide real answers or to the overly technical books that require a computer science degree to understand. This book provides you with a complete step-by-step system that will allow you to protect yourself without having to spend a lot of time to achieve this goal. You'll Learn: * How to use password managers and passkeys * How to set up two-factor authentication to effectively stop hackers * How to secure your router and home network with six easy steps * How to protect your children from predators, cyber-bullying, and "sharing" * What you need to do to recover from identity theft and create an actionable recovery plan * How to install and use safe communication channels such as Signal, VPNs, Tor, and encrypted email * A 30-day privacy transformation plan to secure your digital world In addition to all the information contained in the guide, there are also many charts comparing different items, checklists, infographics, and a comprehensive appendix that contains a list of tools that every computer user needs to have. Why Parents (And Schools) are all in: Chapters Addressing the Child Safety Issues that Affect Parents and Adults in General, Including… Cyberbullying, online predators, sharenting, and children's digital footprint – all described in clear, no-nonsense, actionable terms.

The Chapters Address Many of the Most Urgent Problems Facing Today's Children Including AI Voice Cloning, Deep Fakes, and TikTok Data Collection... so that they are prepared for whatever potential risk they may encounter this year. Create Lifelong Digital Citizens: Instead of merely providing a list of rules to abide by; through an ongoing mindset established throughout the children in their formative years/education process, parents will help their children learn to make thoughtful and responsible decisions independently of parents or other adults. Target Groups of Students: The book coversmost of the standard, foundational content and structure with both foundationaland advanced information.

This 43-page digital PDF contains a facilitator's guide, theory, student workbook, and teacher resources, all rolled into one. Developed with the principles of neuroscience, psychology, and the Seasonal Cyclicality Model (SCM), this social and emotional learning program for kids takes students on a series of fun, gamified, and micro-level missions aligned with Autumn (self-awareness), Winter (social observation), Spring (social skills), and Summer (responsible decision-making).

In addition to theory, there are practical tools to help the student manage their stress level and perform well on assessments. Practical tools include: Cognitive Defusion (to eliminate the "failure script" you tell yourself), using Somatic Mapping and micro-interventions (e.g., Physiological Sigh, 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding, Box Breathing), using the POP (Pause, Observe, Proceed) method to eliminate "blanks" on assessments, utilizing pre-test mental rehearsal and post-test decompression exercises. This workbook is perfect for use in the classroom, individual counseling sessions, study skills programs, or home schooling. It is available for immediate digital download, and can be printed from your computer or used in your digital course materials with no preparation needed. These strategies have been researched and proven to effectively lower levels of test anxiety and provide access to your working memory when under pressure to perform. Reasons Parents and Schools Love this Product: Science-based methods that help students calm themselves when they take exams through teaching them how to control their brains instead of just telling them to calm themselves down. No preparation required on the part of teachers with regard to having materials like worksheets, visuals, answer keys, and an implementation guide to use immediately in their classrooms or with students who need support. Helps develop true resilience by teaching students ways to cope with anxiety over a lifetime rather than relying on temporary motivation techniques. All micro-interventions available through this product can be done without being seen or heard, therefore making it more conducive to use during exam time. Very easy for both parents and counselors to understand how to use the micro-interventions in a way that they will get maximum benefit from doing so; great for SEL programs, study skills classes, or using at home. Intended Readers : The target audience for this resource is students who belong to the ages of 12-16 (Grades 7-10). The research case studies were conducted with 7th grade (ADHD/test anxiety), 8th grade, 9th grade and 10th grade (AP Biology) students. The resource sections of the Teacher Implementation Guide focus on the students themselves as they relate to their neurodevelopmental stage (middle and early high school). This resource is perfect for middle school (Grades 7-8) and early high school (Grades 9-10) students, who are preparing for any number of major exams, standardized exams and high stakes assessments (i.e., any subject). Not intended for elementary students (too difficult) or late high school/college students (the language and examples were written specifically for the adolescent population).

The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27)

The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27)
Social Studies, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

The purpose of this 49-page mini-unit is for students in grades 6-12 to develop a clear understanding of what their rights are under the Constitution, particularly our rights under the Bill of Rights. Increasingly, Americans, especially students, are not able to name many of the rights we are entitled to in the Bill of Rights. They are well aware of Amendment 2 and parts of Amendment 1, and the “I plead the fifth” clause of Amendment 5, but they are woefully uninformed of the other rights that protect us. This mini-unit is designed to give students not only a complete understanding of these rights but opportunities to put their knowledge into practice through the various worksheets and a culminating project at the end of the unit, which is available separately in my store,, “A Great Good Place for Teachers,” called The Bill of Rights: A Project to Assess Knowledge and Understanding. The ultimate goal is for them to have a healthy and complete understanding of why these basic rights are so necessary for our democracy. This mini-unit is part of my unit: “Our Living Consitution” which is designed using the Into, Through, and Beyond model of lesson planning. The lessons in the Our Living Constitution unit can be used independently or as a supplement to what you already teach or as a whole. Here is a summary of what is in the unit. Check out my store: A Great Good Place for Teachers Here are the links Into Lessons: Creating Schema Lesson 1: Overview of the Constitution of the United States of America Lesson 2: Origins of the Constitution and Essential Terms Lesson 3: The Seven Principles of the Constitution Through Lessons: Learning the Content Lesson 4: The Preamble: The Goals of the Constitution (not included in Our Living Constitution) Lesson 5: The Three Branches of Government: Articles 1, 2, and 3 Lesson 6: How a Bill Becomes a Law Lesson 7: Federalism, Separation of Powers, and Checks and Balances Lesson 8: Articles 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the United States Constitution Lesson 9: The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27) Extras (from the Unit: Every Four Years… The Presidential Election) Lesson 10: What Are Your Political Viewpoints ?

The use of this material in the standard/mainstream classroom curriculum may not be appropriate for 7th grade students; however, it would be beneficial in some cases (i.e. gifted program, after school technology club) where there is evidence of interest and ability toward this subject.
