French II Unit "La mode"
This board game is a great activity to review the material and prepare for the quiz or test. The game encourages students to ask and answer questions related to clothing and shopping in a collaborative manner.

This Power Point reviews French irregular verbs that are typically taught in French 1.

Students will create a three day travel itinerary for a city in France. They can choose from a variety of project options.

French Vocabulary: Clothing

The resource contains a long list of words to help teachers and students master French clothing vocabulary.

French Vocabulary - Family (detailed)

The article first introduces an overview of close and extended family members in French, then clarifies some of the common misconceptions and differences between the English and French expressions. Finally, it presents a sample dialogue on the topic of family.

This document has fun conjugation charts for the verbs être, avoir, faire, aller, prendre, and boire.

This activity reviews French subject pronouns and how to replace nouns with subject pronouns. The students will cut out of the subjects from page 2. They will glue them onto page 1 under the correct subject pronouns that would replace the noun. 

This tool is a simple way to collect some data on the frequency of a desired or undesired behavior prior to a lesson or intervention. For example, if a teacher shares that calling out is a major concern you could observe a lesson for 30 minutes and record the number of times students call out during that time (by putting a check mark in a circle). Then after delivering instruction on the importance of being respectful and not interupting instruction do an observation for the same time period and see if there was improvement!NOTE: You could also as a teacher to collect the data for you!

This is a learning module that uses data to demonstrate why basic frequency tables are important and how they are read and interpreted.

After experiencing this module, students should understand that friction is a force that opposes motion (SOL 5.3e). This lesson was written with an inclusive fifth grade classroom in mind, but can be adapted for a smaller pull-out group if necessary. This module was developed by Karin Kaerweras part of a Virginia Commonwealth University STEM initiative sponsered by the Virginia Department of Education.

Learn how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. Rub two objects together and they heat up. When one reaches the melting temperature, particles break free as the material melts away. Arabic Language.

Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this lesson, students will experience the force of friction as they use block-based coding to program a Sphero Bot through a maze made up of materials with varying amounts of friction.

Students will examine the bust, "Portrait of Nadine Dumas", and create a portrait bust of a friend to give to the friend as a gift. Students will then discuss the modeling techniques used to communicate likeness and expression in a three-dimensional bust portrait.

The student will understand the importance of friendship and be able to relate this in a narrative piece of writing. ** This performance assessment was developed by a collaborative team of teachers and division staff from Middlesex, Poquoson, and West Point school divisions.

Teachers will implement matching letter sounds to letters.  The teacher will have picture cards for each letter sound in a stack in a basket.  Students will get a random card, identify the picture and corresponding letter sound, and then hop like a frog to return the picture card to its letter.

This remixed lesson from Illustrative Mathematics models how to get the same sum with different addends. It is also introduces students to the use of number lines in addition. https://goopenva.org/courses/2-md-frog-and-toad-on-the-number-line

This resource is a remix from Illustrative Mathematics https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1081. Suggested Modifications: It is imperative that students in their early ages of mathematics education be introduced to the idea of the number line that makes sense. In other words, they usually count the tick marks on the number line which leads to an inaccuracy in the algorithm. To help them better understand number lines, the suggestion is to introduce the idea number paths which is another way of looking at a number line. To help better facilitate the lesson, I have added a downloadable document student activity that can be used in cooperative learning groups to facilitate mathematical discourse. This activity also encourages literacy in the curriculum.   

To combat the common misconception that all mutations have large effects on proteins, students experiment with the Protein Synthesis Simulation to learn about the relationship among DNA, codons, amino acids, and proteins. At first, students investigate a strand of DNA that includes all 20 amino acids. Then, they make guided changes to discover that sometimes a single change can stop most of the protein from being formed, while another change produces no noticeable affect at all. Next, they complete challenges to mutate a DNA strand, and conclude with a mini-research project on mutations.
