Have you been looking for a SEL resource that events something new with your young students? Have you noticed that old worksheets do nothing to measure a child's emotional intelligence and only offer a chance to measure his literacy skills? Help your students discover their emotional world with the help of the Gratitude and Empathy Visual Journal, which is based in research and created especially for preschoolers and children in the first two grades. This unique program helps children get around the first difficulties that they experience during their literacy acquisition by focusing on what they do best - making sense of their surroundings through drawings. Following the principles of the Visual-Affective Mapping technology, the low-text high-art worksheets that this program offers allow children to safely explore complicated emotional states such as empathy, gratitude, perspectives, and compassion. Instead of trying to put their feeling into words, the students are guided to express their emotions through drawings. This is not simply an art project; this is a good pedagogical device suitable for teachers, social workers, and parents. The contents of the package include: Educator's guide (10 pages): This is a full introduction into psychological basis and methodology that includes "Visual Epistemology of Emotion", examples in case studies, and some educator's insights on what was done. 7 Student Workbooks (15 pages): These print-ready student workbooks are designed for making work more engaging while presenting simple prompts: Emotion Detective (Identifying Emotions) My Gratitude Backpack (Intangible Gratitude) Looking Through Another's Window (Perspective-Taking) "Ouch to Ahh" First Aid Kit (Compassion) Friendship Recipe (Prosocial Skills) Weather Report of My Heart (Emotional Granularity) Magic Magnifying Glass (Mindful Gratitude) Visuals & Teacher Resources (8 pages): CASEL Framework Map: For learners to see how this resource corresponds with the main competencies of SEL. Comprehensive Interpretative Answer Key: Outstanding material that allows to interpret student figures easily. Detailed Instruction Manual: Guide for using E.A.S.E. protocol. Trauma-Informed Exercise Guide: Advice on making environment emotionally comfortable and reacting to delicate cases. Motor Deficit Strategies: Useful advice on making sure every child can work on this task. Help your kids have the basic empathy and true gratitude. Download this impactful SEL resource now!

Several Reasons Why It Is Popular Among Parents/Schools: All Learners Welcome: The program makes it easy for everyone including pre-readers, struggling readers and even people with dyslexia or dysgraphia to take part in the learning process and share their understanding of emotions. Supported by Research and Designed to Work: The program is more than just a group of prompts based on drawing, it has been designed according to the principles of child psychology, CASEL, and other educational programs that follow a clear teaching methodology. Allows to Understand Children Better: Since it is based on drawing, it is able to give teachers and parents unique insights into the feelings and emotions of children which cannot be seized through their academic written answers. Complete and immediately available: It is a full program that already covers the areas of target audiences and has available teachers’ guides, answer keys, ideas about dealing with trauma and differentiation. Encourages More Intensive Understanding: The program contains not only self-awareness but many useful tools that allow improving kindness and collaboration in the class.

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!

A Political Machine in Practice Lesson
Social Studies, Government, Grade 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This is a lesson for A Political Machine in Practice. National Curriculum Standards: Learners will understand mechanisms by which governments meet the needs and wants of citizens, regulate territory, manage conflict, establish order and security, and balance competing conceptions of a just society. Specific Objective: Students will be able to understand how a political machine worked by actually becoming one and trying to resolve several cases for the people. Materials: Worksheet provided. Lesson: In this lesson, students get to understand how political machines worked by actually becoming one! (There is no better way to learn how crooks work than by being a crook yourself). Divide the class in pairs and tell them that they are the city boss of New York (Boss Tweed) sitting at the top of a political machine. Tell them that they’ll try to be as corrupt as possible in making certain decisions. When you go over the worksheet, you may want to mention that Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall paid $13 million for a construction job, when it actually cost $3. Where did the rest go to??? And there were all kinds of shady things going on. Political Machine Activity For this activity, students will be a city boss standing at the top of the pyramid of a political machine. They are therefore going to try to be as corrupt as possible in order for them to understand how political machines worked. These are their two main goals: 1. To remain in power by becoming reelected (they want to win the favor of many ignorant immigrants who don’t know much about what’s going on but have many needs) 2. Pocket as much money as possible whether it comes from a person or government funds.

12 Essential Election Terms for Middle & High-Vocabulary Strategies
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
The purpose of this 18-page, standards-aligned, easy prep lesson, 12 Essential Election Terms for Middle and High School-Vocabulary Strategies, is for students to explore essential vocabulary so that they can begin to build their knowledge as they delve more deeply into the election. Every four years, citizens of our nation get to choose our next president. Middle School and High School students are at the age where they begin to think of themselves as members of this country. Many of them witness their relatives voting, but many do not, either because their relatives are not citizens or because their relatives are disengaged from the electoral process. It is our duty as Social Studies teachers to engage our students in the electoral process so that they understand how our electoral system works and so that they see the value in participating in our democracy through voting. Students will start the lesson by identifying which terms they are familiar with and how familiar they are with them in Road Signs to Understanding.. From there, they will complete a K.I.M. Vocabulary activity: (Knowledge, Information, Memory) and write an original sentence for each word.
