 Today, you want to discuss how artists can help bring awareness of environmental changes through art. Introduce a few artists that use environmental change as their theme. It is a good idea to have several artists that use different kinds of mediums. Examples: Nils-Udo, Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Shilling, Agnes Denes, Chris Jordan, Benjamin Von Wong, Olafur Eliasson, Amanda Schachter, Rachel Sussman, and Mathilde Roussel. These are some environmental artists of different backgrounds and diversity that work in different medians.  Discuss how posters have been used to educate others on environmental changes. Show your teacher’s example of an educational and artistic environmental poster. Talk about your poster and the environmental concept that you chose as an example of not only the artwork but on a presentation as well.

This inquiry focuses on the rights of citizenship that African Americans were denied following Reconstruction. Though the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed in order to guarantee citizenship rights to freedmen, many states passed laws that limited these rights. In this inquiry, students will examine ways rights of citizenship were denied by many states and how citizens attempted to secure those rights. The tasks completed for each supporting question will help students to consider who grants citizenship rights and how they are expanded. The first task will help students to understand that the U.S. Constitution guarantees rights of citizenship, while the second task will help students to understand how states can limit those rights. The final task will help students to investigate the way citizenship can be change agents in the fight to ensure equal rights for all.

 This activity is designed to review similes and metaphors. This can be used during instruction with these terms, or as a test-prep review before benchmark or SOL tests. To begin the activity, the teacher will review the simile and metaphor terms. The teacher will model how to identify similes and metaphors. The teacher will instruct the students to open the Google Slide presentation from Google Classroom. 

Students will use an Edpuzzle video to label their own map of the United States. The video is structured so students have to pause and label ten states at a time, in alphabetical order. The outcome of this activity is a completed US map for students' later reference. The second activity is a drag and drop game in which students drag labeled states into the appropriate spot on a map of the US. (Note: The state names in the activity have been color-coded according to geographic region. Students and teachers could use this later in the year to discuss regions and state locations.)

This is an interpretive reading activity for level 1 Spanish students. It uses a familiar topic with basic vocabulary and grammar structures. There are comprehension questions in English after each section.

How to use this activity:Students can create a paper album, a power point presentation, google slides, with their chosen clothing pieces. They describe each piece including size, price, availability, colors, and fit.   You can add more requirements as the rubric is general and allows for many modifications.

Students are expected to know the location of the latitudinal climate zones on the SOL assessment.  This is a simple Google Form you can use as a bell ringer, review, or quiz for students on low, middle and high climate zones.  The form is collecting email addresses, but you can unclick that box on settings (top right of the form) and it will work like a survey.  You can then go over how the entire class answered without revealing anyone's answers. There are other settings you can change to suit yourself including locking the quiz so that it can only be used on chromebooks.  

 OVERVIEWThe purpose of this lab activity is to help students develop a better understanding of  the layers  of Earth’s atmosphere.  Earth’s atmosphere is composed of  thin layers of gases that protect the planet and its life forms.   The students will work in small groups and combine different liquids that will stay separated because each liquid has a different density and therefore relates the concept back to the layers of the Earth’s atmosphere.

This is a choice board focusing on the layers of the atmosphere. Students will have an opportuity to choose from 6 different projects to share their understanding of the layers of the atmosphere. All projects contain a description as well as a grading rubric.
