"Colonial Foundations" Online Unit Access, US History
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 10, 11, 12, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
US History "Colonial Foundations" Online Unit Access Unit 1, US History and Government This product consists of passcodes to a unit in most of my online US History classroom at InnovationAssessments.com . Give your students the passcodes to access the task at InnovationAssessments.com/TestDrive . All tasks, including short answer, are auto-corrected. The site's AI grading assistant has a high level of proficiency in scoring short answer tasks. The course is United States History and Government for the New York State Frameworks curriculum. This was taught to eleventh graders, but if your state teaches US history at other levels, the lessons would surely work for grades 7-12. Elements not included but posted separately: PowerPoint slide shows, stimulus-based multiple-choice, Regents exam-style short essay -- Look for these in my Teach Simple contributor site. When students have completed one of these tasks, the app yields a score and any other information you would need to assess their work (such as a copy of their short-answer responses). It's easy to have students take a screenshot of the results screen or to print out and submit to you. Some teachers just watch over students in class and record their results as they finish. Subscribers to Innovation Assessments can use the passcodes to import the task into their own course playlist and test question bank. This has some advantages over just the passcode access. Unit Opening 11.1 Pretest -- Pre- and post-tests are made from questions from old New York State US History Regents exams. 11.1 Vocabulary -- The vocabulary app has three functions: a "tutor", flashcards, and a quiz. Video Etudes An "Etude" is an app that displays media to the right and questions on the left. Questions can be multiple-choice or short answer. Students answer as they progress through the media and the answers are auto-corrected. An AI grading assistant offers assessments of any short answer responses which you can verify later. these are "video" etudes made from my own video lesson collection.

Thinking Like a Historian: Observing and Sourcing a Personal Document or Artifact
ELA, Social Studies, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Writing, History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
Thinking Like a Historian: Observing and Sourcing a Personal Document or Artifact is a highly engaging and interactive mini-unit of 4 or 5 days for 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. It is designed to have your students work collaboratively as historians to look at primary source documents and artifacts as evidence from their lives. In the process, they will learn the kinds of questions to ask about historical artifacts and documents to help them interpret their meaning and importance. The purpose of this lesson is to help them understand how historians interpret evidence, especially from primary source documents as well as artifacts. The lesson introduces or reviews key concepts and terms: primary source and secondary source documents, artifacts, evidence, and interpretation. It also provides teachers with an opportunity to introduce or review what it means to work collaboratively in small groups to make meaning of documents or artifacts. Finally, students will reflect on their experience and what they learned. The mini-unit includes objectives and learning targets aligned with Common Core Standards of Literacy in History, a detailed lesson plan, student worksheets for analyzing personal documents/ and artifacts, a sample chart for group work collaboration, and a student reflection worksheet for them to reflect on their experience as a historian. In addition, I include a parent/guardian letter in English and Spanish explaining the unit. Objectives Students will define key historical concepts and terms: primary source, secondary source, artifacts, evidence, and interpretation. Students will give examples of what primary source and secondary source documents are. Students will give examples of artifacts. Students will examine personal primary source documents and artifacts and will ask questions about the documents to help them understand the historical significance of it or its meaning. Students will do a close read or close examination for evidence about the document or artifact and interpret what it means and what it reveals about their family, culture, the person or people involved, etc. Students will “source” a document or artifact to evaluate its credibility and point of view by asking questions about who wrote or created it, when, why, and for what purpose or audience. Students will explain how to work collaboratively with their classmates. Students will identify the key historical descriptors (tools and skills) they most connected with and why. Students will reflect on their experience of thinking like a historian. Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.2: Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.

This quarters reading comprehension includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Quarters Genre: Nonfiction (informational reading passage) Subject: Social Studies (U.S. history) / Math (money) Primary Topic: How U.S. quarters changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best Understanding money value and fractions (a quarter is 25 cents; one fourth of a dollar; “two bits”). How coin materials and features affected trust and prevented cheating (silver, weight, and ridged edges called “reeding”). Timeline thinking using key dates and changes (1796, 1932, 1965, 1999, 2022–2025, 2026). How symbols/designs on coins reflect history and what a country honors (states, national parks, historical places, notable American women, 250th anniversary themes). Reading informational text with headings and main ideas (three titled sections explain different eras/changes). Learning Goals I can explain why a quarter is worth 25 cents and how it relates to a dollar. I can describe what “two bits” means and where the nickname came from. I can explain how “reeding” (the ridged edge) helped stop people from shaving off metal. I can describe one major change quarters went through over time (design or materials) using details from the passage. I can identify the main idea of the section about changing quarter designs. Key Vocabulary From the Text reeding — tiny ridges on a coin’s edge precious — very valuable recognize — know something by its look or feel coating — a covering layer on something honoring — showing respect by featuring someone or something FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE

Culture Lesson and Barnga Game
Social Studies, History, Psychology, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Culture and Barnga Lesson: Teacher Guide Thanks so much for purchasing this product. It takes many hours to create products like these, but it means a lot to know they may be helping create memorable lessons for students outside of my classroom, too! This lesson is meant to introduce students to some of the basics of culture and the difficulty of cultural exchange in our society with a memorable game . An adapted and simplified version of Barnga is included in this product. Barnga asks students to play a simple card game without talking to each other– the hitch is that each student has almost imperceptibly different instruction sheets that make facilitating the game incredibly frustrating (and funny!) Make sure to give students time to check over their individual instruction sheets in groups of 4 to 6 players. Ensure that each player has a different sheet. If you look at the instruction sheets they have a subtle page number indicator in the footer that lets you quickly ensure different variations of the instructions are spread throughout the activity. If anything else is complicated, feel free to reach out to me at tristanjbernhard@gmail.com and I would love to discuss the activity further! Happy Teaching!

Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Hot Air Balloons Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (flight/forces) Primary Topic: How hot air balloons rise and early ballooning history Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the key science idea that warm air rises and connects it to how a hot air balloon works. Builds historical understanding through a short timeline (1780s France experiments; June/September/November 1783 flights; return in the late 1950s–1960). Introduces main balloon parts and functions (envelope, basket, propane burner, valve) and how they affect rising/sinking. Clarifies how balloons travel (they can’t steer like airplanes; changing height helps catch winds moving different ways). Shows how improved materials/design (nylon fabric and powerful propane burners) helped ballooning become a sport and celebration again. Learning Goals Students will explain why warm air helps a hot air balloon rise using details from the passage. Students will identify the Montgolfier brothers and describe what the crowd in Annonay saw on June 4, 1783. Students will describe what happened at the Palace of Versailles on September 19, 1783. Students will describe the jobs of the envelope, propane burner, and valve in a modern balloon. Students will explain how a balloon can travel in different directions by changing height. Students will explain how Ed Yost helped ballooning return in the late 1950s and what happened in 1960. Key Vocabulary From the Text experiments — tests to find out if something works. envelope — big fabric balloon bag that fills with heated air. propane — fuel used to make the burner’s flame. valve — opening that lets hot air out. redesign — change how something is made to improve it.
