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.

Describes how tracks work by spreading a tank’s heavy weight so it doesn’t sink as easily and can cross rough land and trenches. Introduces key tank parts and purposes, including armor plates for protection and a rotating turret that helps the tank aim. Shows how designs changed over time (stronger engines, tougher armor, radios, better sights) and how tanks became part of teams with special jobs.

Lesson Plan on Pablo Picasso
Art, Creative Arts, Art History, Fine Arts, Biographies, Social Studies, Not Grade Specific, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Pablo Picasso was among the most impactful artists of the 20th century. He is recognized for co-founding the Cubist movement, creating constructed sculpture, co-inventing collage, and for the diverse range of styles that he contributed to and examined. For approximately 80 of his 91 years, Picasso dedicated himself to creating art that played a crucial role in the overall progress of modern art during the 20th century, especially through the creation of Cubism (alongside artist Georges Braque) around 1907. Picasso is often regarded as THE genius of the twentieth century. Possibly more than any other artist, he transformed the course of art, initiating the modernist movement. He was an innovator of Cubism, subsequently of collage art, and eventually neo-classicism. This lesson plan centers around the artwork of Pablo Picasso. Numerous activities are provided, arranged in two worksheets. Their answers are provided in the end. Six of his most famous works are also included.

As a homeschool mom teaching a 9th grader, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find academic resources that challenge our teens intellectually and strengthen their biblical worldview. That is exactly why I created High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle — a faith-based resource designed to dig beneath the surface of what’s often considered just a “fun holiday.” This reading passage goes beyond costumes and candy to uncover the deeper history of Halloween—its ancient origins, its transformation through the church, and how it is viewed today. But more importantly, it helps students/homeschoolers explore how Christians can think critically about culture, tradition, and spiritual truth. Each section invites deep reflection on what it means to live faithfully in a world that often celebrates darkness. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: 1 in-depth Christian worldview reading passage 20 higher-order critical thinking questions & guided answer key 10 printable note-taking sheets for information retention NO-PREP, ready-to-use resource TOPICS COVERED History and origins of Halloween Christian response to cultural traditions Symbolism and meaning from a biblical perspective Modern commercialization and gospel-centered engagement This High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle resource was born out of the same need many Christian homeschool parents share: the desire to teach our children to think deeply and biblically in a world that often blurs truth. High School ELA Halloween: History, Hope, and a Christian Response Reading Passage Bundle provides that bridge between rigorous learning and heartfelt discipleship. It encourages students/homeschoolers to confront cultural questions with confidence rooted in Scripture and helps parents facilitate meaningful, grace-filled conversations at home. Whether you use it during the fall season, as part of a worldview or apologetics course, or simply as a timely devotional study, it is a tool that can grow with your student/homeschooler year after year. This is not just a reading and worksheet set—it’s an investment in critical thinking, biblical literacy, and godly discernment. Equip your homeschool with resources that inspire—not just to learn history, but to see God’s truth woven through it.
