High School Famous People in History Reading Passage and Q & A

High School Famous People in History Reading Passage and Q & A
ELA, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts

You know that moment when your teenager gives you that look after you hand them another boring history book? My 9th grader practically perfected the eye-roll when it came to learning about "dead people from way back when" (her words, not mine!). I finally got fed up with watching her zone out during history time—these are not just random names and dates, these are the people who literally changed everything! After way too many late nights researching and writing (and lots of coffee), I put together these High School Famous People in History Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets that actually tell their stories in a way that makes sense to teenagers. The best part? My daughter actually started asking questions and voluntarily bringing up history during dinner conversation—when that happens, you know you've found something that works, and I'm hoping it'll do the same thing for your family's history studies. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: In-depth exploration of historical figures in history 20 thought-provoking questions about historical impact Detailed guided responses to help parents facilitate meaningful discussions 5 Note-Taking Sheets to help students organize information and develop analytical thinking skills TOPICS COVERED: Scientific and Mathematical Pioneers Literary and Artistic Luminaries Political Visionaries and Social Reformers Technological and Medical Breakthroughs Okay, so here's the deal—I spent forever putting together this High School Famous People in History Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets because I was tired of my kid thinking history was just a bunch of boring old stuff. These readings aren't fluff—they really dive into what made these people tick and how they managed to shake up the entire world. What I love is that the questions actually make kids think instead of just spitting back whatever they memorized five minutes ago, and the note-taking part keeps everything organized without making their brain hurt. My daughter went from literally groaning every time I mentioned history to actually telling her friends about some of the crazy things these historical figures did. Trust me, you are going to find yourself pulling this out over and over because there's always something new your kid will pick up on that they totally missed before. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

RESTART Comprehension/Vocabulary/Summative Assessment Book Unit

RESTART Comprehension/Vocabulary/Summative Assessment Book Unit
ELA, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Novel Studies, Worksheets, Writing Prompts

RESTART is a fantastic book for 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. I wanted to create a unit so teachers can use it at ease and for teachers to see their students grow. They grow because of the 30 chapter lessons. These lessons have core standards in them and are 1-16 or 1-10. Most of the questions consist of comprehension, homophones, vocabulary context clues, art, evidence, and figurative language. The 1-16 lessons have a 5-point multiple choice exit quiz for them. There is also a summary packet the kids can use for the shorter chapters. The comprehension and vocabulary worksheets allow the student to follow and learn the plot very well in a rigorous but fun way. There are also 10 vocabulary 1-12 fill-in-the-blank tests, too. The vocabulary words are challenging, but words that will help them during the story reading. There is also a 1-30 multiple choice final test. There is a research paper prompt and 5 RACES rigorous writing prompts. Finally, the students have a Student Reading Reference Page to help them with the figurative language in the book and assessments.
