In this activity, students will review French sentence starters to convey opinions about different items and activities.
In this unit, students begin to grapple with the overarching question of how a person develops values, identities, and beliefs while reading the novel Shiloh. Marty, the main character in Shiloh, sees someone mistreating a dog and thinks it's his right and responsibility to step in to save the dog, even if the dog doesn't belong to him. His action raises a question for readers about when an individual should step in to take a stand against what he/she believes to be an injustice. His action also causes readers to consider how different people, depending on their values, identities and beliefs, may have different opinions on what constitutes an injustice. Students will be challenged to take a stand on both of these ideas, based on the experiences and opinions of the different characters in Shiloh. Students will also be exposed to the idea of courage, and what it means to show courage, especially in situations where you are standing up for what you believe in. It is our hope that this unit will inspire students to grapple with these questions at a deeper level and understand the power of showing courage to fight for the things they believe in, no matter what obstacles they may face.
Shiloh was chosen as the text for this unit not only because of the powerful themes, but because of the way in which Phyllis Reynolds Naylor artfully develops the setting, characters and plot. In this unit, students will be challenged to think deeply about how the details an author includes help a reader better understand a character's thoughts and actions. The setting of Shiloh in rural West Virginia in the 1970s allows students to deeply analyze how an author develops setting, and how the setting of a text influences the characters. Finally, students will begin to notice how the point of view of a story influences the way a story is told.
Students will be introduced to and practice the concept of Short A and Long A words.
This activity will allow students to create a simple bank account program using the Java programming language. This activity could also be edited to use any programming language.
A simple calculator in Python to add, subtract, multiply and divide
Provided basic circuitry materials, including a multimeter, students experiment through guided inquiry to gain hands-on experience with Ohm's Law and Equivalent Resistance.
Here is a simple lab report that can be used in any science class (6-12). The report is designed to help students identify hypotheses, independent and dependent variables, controls, constants, and to analyze experiments. I have also included tips on a simple way to teach your students to identify the IV and DV through a "cave man hypothesis" and how to teach controls with less confusion.
Students are given 28 expressions with exponents that need to be simplified that cover multiple exponent rules. When simplified, there are 7 possible solutions.
This is a link to a Google Sheet Practice Assignment I created for simplifying radicals with no variables. By using conditional formatting, the students can get instant feedback as to whether or not they did the problem correctly.
Teachers will implement a lesson on recognizing uppercase and lowercase letters. The teacher will have all uppercase and lowercase letters written on cards and rolled up like snowballs. Students will get one, throw the snowball and then pick up one to identify the letter on the card. They will move to the matching letter card.
Students will love and enjoy this lesson based from the popular book, Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. Within this lesson, students will learn the importance of following algorithms in a particular order. They will also practice creating shapes while drawing their snowmen.
Students practice saying common school phrases throughout the school day.
This is a sheet intendend for use as a test review.
This task requires students to think about equations and solve them using pictures. The VDOE resource provides an additional resource with practice problems, lesson plan guidance, and real world problems solving equations.
This lesson introduces students to how to move from solving simple 1 and 2 step equations to solving equations with variables on both sides.
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.
In this lesson, students think about the concepts of equality and inequality and then work to solve one step multiplication and division equations using tape diagrams.
This is a practice activity sheet for solving and graphing 2-step inequalities.
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.
