This lesson includes activites at all stages of the 5E model.  When possible multiple options were provided at each stage. Cover Image: "solar system" by Philippe Put is licensed under CC BY 2.0

The purpose of this hypermedia is to provide Teachers and English Language Learners content based interactive tool to learn about the Solar System.  It can be used as a whole class lesson, in a small group or students can work on it individually.  This hypermedia presentation is full of visual images and figures to reach to different proficiency level learners.  The Solar System presentation starts with a site map which lists all the nine planets in order with links to Sun and the moon. The Power Point slides have information about each of the nine planets with facts and actual real graphics of the planets taken from the NASA website.  Students can explore each slide and click on Hyperlinks to learn more about each individual planet.

Speaking Relay Game in Teams using Red Solo Cups & Key Words.Students will work in groups to create sentences orally from key words givenFirst team to complete all cups wins

This lesson includes two versions: 1. Blended Learning in person instruction and 2. remote learning for virtual teaching.The lesson focuses on solving equations that require simplifying each side by combining like terms. In the lesson the students will do a review activity of simplifying expressions by combining like terms then are posed with a problem of the day that requires that skill to solve a multi-step equation. The lesson provides questions to lead discussion and how to help guide students during their learning process. There is a blend of individual practice and partner work for collaboration. In the remote setting, the collaboration piece is a self checking activity of them practicing the new skill. It allows an opportunity for students to share their thought processes and reflection.It would be a great lesson after two step equations have been taught and starting multi-step equations involving combining like terms. Activities: 1. Review of combining like terms online practice and video 2. problem of the day 3. video lesson on new topic 4. around the room collaboration/virtual self checking around the room. 5. Reflection/Summary students summarize their understanding using vocaroo 6. apply new skill to solve problem of the day 7. Challenge question apply new skill to an application problem.

This resource provides a lesson of editable items on solving inequalities with negative coefficients, which cover SOL 7.13. The resources can be used for a Math 7 course, an accelerated math course that incorporates Math 7 standards, or as review in preparation for Math 8 or higher-level content. 

Students solve 12 multistep equations that have a single solution.  As correct solutions are found, a picture is slowly revealed.

Students will see the most common method used for solving rational equations, practice solving, and check their work on graphs.

Solving one and two step linear equations.Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This google slides activity provides students practice for solving and graphing one step inequalitites.  Students will think about the solutions for problems that inlude misconceptions about inequalities.

This resource provides a lesson of editable items on solving two-step inequalities which cover SOLs 7.13. The resources can be used for a Math 7 course, an accelerated math course that incorporates Math 7 standards, or as review for higher level content.

This resource provides a unit of editable items on solving two-step and multi-step inequalities which cover SOLs 7.13 and 8.18. The resources can be used for a combined Math 7/8 curriculum or can be broken up by grade level  and used in pieces

Students prepare an elementary class lesson to present to the class using a children's story in Spanish (ie Huevos Verdes con Jamón, Si le das una galleta a un ratón, etc).Depending on current classroom/social distancing rules, in the past they have done 'story time' all sitting around the students presenting (they brought in a towel or pillow or blanket to sit on the floor in circle time like they remembered from elementary school).

Students research, prepare and report on their trip of a lifetime to a Spanish speaking country.

This document provides several  activities to guide students through comprehension of a video about the scsience of love. 

Students write a blog using current vocab and grammar (la ciencia y la tecnología y el subjuntivo).
