The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27)
Social Studies, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Crosswords Puzzles, Tests, Worksheets & Printables
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 ?

Turn your classroom into an environmental science lab with the help of this awesome 41-page Zero Waste Lifestyle Tracking and Habit Builder Journal! This is a project-based learning resource for grades 4–8 that is aligned to the standards! Looking for a real world environmentally focused way to teach environmental science to your students that isn't just a bunch of recycling posters? A complete curriculum journal combining current neuroscience research, ecology theory and hands-on data collection will give your students everything they need to consider themselves true environmental scientists - and it begins with measuring their own lives! This resource is not just one big stack of worksheets but rather, it is a fully scaffolded 3-phase academic journal developed with university seminar style rigor and middle school classroom style accessibility. Your students won’t just learn about the environment; they’ll measure it, analyze it and make changes to it! CONTENTS (41 Pages, Print & Digital Ready): Phase 1 — Core Content & Theory (4 chapters): 1. The Anatomy of Waste explains what happens throughout the lifespan of waste items, including Lifecycle Assessment (LCA), the impact of microplastics in our world today, which items go in the landfill, which items can be incinerated, and how long it takes for a plastic fork to travel 450 years into our future 2. The Neuroscience of Habit Building discusses how our brains form habits based on the basal ganglia of the brain, how we can rebuild/rewire our habits scientifically through neuroplasticity, and the three parts of the habit loop (cue-routine-reward) 3. The Zero-Waste Hierarchy introduces the four elements of a zero-waste lifestyle: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Rot (Composting) and Recycle. This chapter includes a real-world example of how one school significantly reduced their waste by over 90% using these four proven methods 4. Data-Driven Stewardship teaches your students to think like a marine biologist and meteorologist by showing them how to track and analyze their own local environmental data. After each chapter is a fill-in-the-blank review of the chapter, called the Scholar's Review. Phase 2: 10Worksheet Workbook for Students (Research Lab Style) Personal Waste Audit 24-Hour (Data Collection Protocols: Empirical) Material Lifecycle Analysis of Material (From Raw Extraction To Disposal) Biochemistry of Composting (Green And Brown Materials, Aerobic And Anaerobic Decomposition) Single Use Plastic Substitution Matrix (Cost/Benefit Analysis) Water and Energy Footprint Calculation (Embedded Energy And Water Load Calculation; Shower Each Year; Cost Of Water To Make Cotton Shirt) Redesign Challenge For Circular Economy (Planned Volatility, Upcycling, Extended Producer Responsibility) Food Waste Economics (FIFO Pantry System, Estimate Of $780 Of Food Waste Per Year, What Is A Food Standard For A Non-Food Waste Item?) Fast Fashion Footprint (Cost To Wear, Use Of Micro-Plastics, Philosophy Of Wardrobe) Supermarket Packaging Detective (Identifying Greenwashing, Multi-Layered Packages, Bulk Purchasing) Zero-Waste Habit Builder (Keystone Priming, 30-Day Tracking Plan, Write Manifesto For A Zero Waste Life) PHASE 3—Teacher Resources and Visuals: Three professionally designed SVG diagrams (Zero Waste Hierarchy, Linear vs. Circular Economy, Sustainability Habit Loop) Complete Answer Key with example answers and teacher rubric notes 4 week pacing guide with weekly objectives, activities, teacher roles and homework 100-point assessments rubric across four categories of data collection, behavioural design, critical thinking and communication Five extension activities (Trash Jar Challenge, Community Waste Mapping, Letter Writing Campaign to Corporations, Do-It-Yourself Repairs Workshop, Composting Science Experiment; if possible please use a separate document per activity) Strategies for differentiating instruction for Grades 4-5, Grade 8/Gifted, IEP/504 and ELL students CONNECTING TO CURRICULUM: This journal ties into Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core English Language Arts (informational text analysis, evidence based writing) and Common Core Mathematics (percentages, projections, data analysis). This journal combines many subjects — environmental science, behavioral psychology, economics and persuasive writing — into one connected whole. USAGE IDEAS: Great as a 4-week stand-alone unit or as part of an after-school environmental club, summer enrichment program or reinforcement through integration into existing science, health or social studies curricula. Assign user digitally (fillable PDF) or in print. DIGITAL DOWNLOAD — PRINT & GO! REASONS PARENTS/SCHOOLS LOVE THE RESOURCE: Merging Science, Psychology, and Real-World Mathematics – Instead of merely reading about the environment, kids actually conduct real waste audits, calculate their water footprints, and use their own personal data to perform real-world food waste economics analysis – helping them to take abstract concepts and move towards making those concepts their own, and thus, real. Tremendous Support For Teachers From Day One – Each of the resources, including a complete 4-Week Pacing Guide, example responses in the Answer Key, a 100-point Assessment Rubric, and a variety of differentiation strategies to accommodate ALL learners (IEP/504, ELL, Gifted) provides teachers with no-prep stress! Building Lasting Habits, Not Just Raising Awareness – This journal is based on neuroscience principles, specifically the Habit Loop framework, which teaches kids HOW behavior changes within the brain — therefore they can establish long-term environmental habits to implement after the conclusion of the unit. No Eco-Anxiety – Only Eco-Empowerment – Constructivist pedagogy does not endorse guilt-based teaching practices to educate/expose students to environmental issues. Instead, students are encouraged to view themselves as environmental scientists, thereby creating a sense of worth/empowerment as opposed to being seen as passive victims of "climate doom"; hence, all resources provided in this unit have been designed with both emotional safety and motivation in mind. Cross-Curricular and Standards-Aligned Value – When you purchase this journal as a single resource, you are actually replacing multiple separate resources. This one journal covers multiple areas of study related to environmental science, data analysis, persuasive writing, behavioral psychology, economics, and systems thinking — therefore you are maximizing the instructional value and curriculum alignment of numerous subject areas! TARGET GRADES/CLASSES: On evaluating for the content type's level of complexity, the level of language used, the level of math skill needed; and how to teach the content using scaffolding: Primary Target 6th, 7th, and 8th grades (Middle School, our primary audience) Science classes; Environmental Science/ Earth Science Health and Wellness Classes Social Studies/Civics (Circular economy, EPR Policy) ELA Classes (Persuasive writing, Informational text) Secondary Target 5th Grade (Upper Elementary, with teacher scaffolded materials to be used; will require the use of Phase 3 differentiation strategies). 4th Grade (Will require major support in accordance with Phase 3 differentiation, as mentioned in Section 2) 9th Grade (High School, Environmental Science as a remedial unit or an introductory unit) Special Programs Gifted/Honors programs (Students in 8th grade, extension Activities) IEP/504 Accommodations (explicitly provide support through IEP/504) ELL Programs (provide bilingual glossary strategies) Environmental clubs (5th through 9th grade) STEM/STEAM programs Best Audience Targets: Middle School Science teachers (6th to 8th grade) Environmental Science Teachers Parents of Students 10 - 14 taking homeschool classes School Librarians purchasing Sustainability books for their library collection After School Program Coordinators Eco-Conscious Parents with Interest in Supplement Learning Your use of this Resource Agreement: Copyright (or Terms of Use) Copyright is held by Syed Hammad Rizvi.
