The material presented such as the Byzantine Generals Problem, Turing Completeness, Tokenomics, and Regulatory Arbitrage are all concepts that align with and can be understood by the cognitive level of high school students; thus this material fits perfectly within offerings of honors/ap economics, principles of computer science or as a course under the financial technology branch. - Secondary Target: for advanced/gifted students in 7-8 grades (middle school). 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.

Amistad (1997): Complete Movie Guide & Key Facts

Amistad (1997): Complete Movie Guide & Key Facts
Social Studies, History, History: African, History: USA, Grade 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

Amistad is a historical drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1997. Here are some facts about the movie: "Amistad" is based on the true story of the 1839 mutiny aboard the slave ship La Amistad and the subsequent legal battles that took place in the United States. The film follows the journey of the African captives who revolt against their captors, are captured by the American Navy, and eventually stand trial for their freedom. Historical Background: The real-life events portrayed in the film took place in 1839. The La Amistad, a Spanish ship, was transporting a group of Africans who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery. The slaves rebelled, taking control of the ship, but were later captured by the U.S. Navy off the coast of Long Island, New York. Cast: The film features a star-studded cast, including Djimon Hounsou as Sengbe Pieh (known as Joseph Cinqué), Morgan Freeman as Theodore Joadson, Matthew McConaughey as Roger Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams, and Nigel Hawthorne as President Martin Van Buren. Legal Battle: Following the capture of the Amistad slaves, a legal battle ensued over their status. The case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where former President John Quincy Adams argued on behalf of the Africans. The court's ruling declared that the Africans were illegally enslaved and should be returned to Africa. Critical Reception: "Amistad" received generally positive reviews from critics. The performances of the cast, particularly Djimon Hounsou, were widely praised. However, some critics felt that the film was overly long and focused too much on the legal proceedings rather than the personal stories of the characters. Historical Accuracy: While "Amistad" is based on true events, some liberties were taken for dramatic purposes. The film has been criticized for certain historical inaccuracies, including the portrayal of John Quincy Adams as the driving force behind the legal battle when, in reality, he played a more limited role. Cultural Impact: "Amistad" brought attention to the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and highlighted the resilience and bravery of the Africans who fought for their freedom. The film contributed to raising awareness about this dark chapter in history. Amistad remains an important film that explores themes of justice, human rights, and the enduring spirit of those who fought against the injustices of slavery. This 20-question movie guide will help your students stay focused during this amazing and powerful movie. This product comes with a completed teacher key. Ready to print and use - no prep needed.

Mindfulness for Exam Stress – Focused Attention Worksheets

Mindfulness for Exam Stress – Focused Attention Worksheets
Life Skills, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, STEM, Resources for Teachers, Classroom Management, Community Building, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Presentations, Quizzes and Tests, Tests

A complete 40-page workbook to promote the use of mindfulness and learn how to manage exam stress using neuroscience-based methods. This workbook includes clear theoretical concepts (e.g., "Amygdala Hijacking", "Working Memory Bottleneck", "Default Mode Network versus Task Positive Network") paired with a total of 10 student worksheets, 3 visually appealing colored models for use throughout the course, an answer key that shows all answers for the worksheets and a teacher guide to implementation. 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).
