Chemistry Class Guidelines – Editable in PowerPoint & KeyNote A clear and customizable set of rules to start your chemistry class off right 🧪📋 Whether you're starting with a new class, taking over a course mid-year, or simply want to reset expectations, having a set of clear, student-friendly guidelines can make a big difference. This editable resource gives you the flexibility to present your classroom rules in a structured, visually consistent format – while still adapting the content to your own teaching style. The rules cover core areas of classroom life: from behavior during experiments to notebook organization and grading criteria. You can choose between 12 calming "boho" color themes or two clean black-and-white versions – depending on whether you want something simple, customizable, or a bit more colorful for student binders or digital notebooks. What’s included: Editable PowerPoint and KeyNote files Non-editable PDF for quick printing 12 color themes + 2 black-and-white layouts Sections included: – Materials for class – Homework – Absences – Notebook organization – Classroom behavior – Experiments – Grading How I use it in class: I introduce these rules at the beginning of the term and give students a printed copy or add them to their digital notebooks (e.g. GoodNotes or Notability). Some even choose their favorite color version and use it as a cover page in their binder. We go over each rule together and I invite students to ask questions or offer suggestions, which helps build a shared understanding of expectations. This isn’t a rigid rule sheet – it’s a flexible tool you can shape to fit your classroom. Whether you're teaching in a lab or more theory-based setting, it gives your students something they can refer back to all year long. Just open, adjust, and you’re ready to go. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

The Butler (2013): Complete Movie Guide with Historical References
Social Studies, History, History: African, History: USA, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Forest Whitaker stars as Cecil Gaines, a fictional character inspired by Eugene Allen. Cecil grows up in the racially segregated South and witnesses his father's murder by a white plantation owner. He later finds work as a domestic servant in a hotel, where he hones his skills as a butler. Cecil's exceptional work ethic and dedication catch the attention of a White House representative, who offers him a job as a butler in the White House. Cecil accepts the position, and over the years, he becomes a trusted and respected member of the White House staff, serving various presidents. As Cecil carries out his duties, the film depicts the tumultuous events and social changes taking place in America. From the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Cecil observes and is indirectly affected by the shifting political and social landscape. "The Butler" also delves into Cecil's personal life, particularly his relationship with his wife, Gloria, played by Oprah Winfrey, and their two sons. Cecil's dedication to his work often comes at the cost of his relationships, causing strain within his family. Throughout the film, Cecil struggles with his role as a passive observer to the racial inequality and injustice surrounding him. As the civil rights movement gains momentum, his eldest son, Louis, played by David Oyelowo, becomes an activist, causing tension and ideological clashes between them. "The Butler" combines fictional elements with historical events, featuring an ensemble cast that includes notable actors portraying various U.S. presidents, such as Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan. The film aims to highlight the experiences of African-Americans during a transformative period in American history, emphasizing the personal journey of Cecil Gaines and the impact of his service in the White House. It touches on themes of race, identity, family, and the struggle for civil rights. "The Butler" serves as a poignant exploration of the African-American experience through the eyes of a butler who witnesses firsthand the complexities of power, politics, and social change in America. These 25 teacher-generated questions are designed to help students focus in on key information during this powerful movie. I have also included 4 historical reference points (short excerpts to help give students a historical reference point for the printables /parts-of-and-anatomy-of">parts of the movie). Ready to print and use! Comes with a completed answer key! The movie is available on iTunes and Amazon.
