Set up a 4 corners activity.. Hand out shape pattern cards to all students. For 30 seconds each corner does an exercise corresponding to their first shape, then they will change depending on their second, third, and fourth shape... then they switch through the circuit until they have completed their pattern. They will go through the pattern  2 times. 

Students will write on a predetermined topic. , the students will need some words to help build sentences. The beach ball will have words or phrases written on it that will help the students such as:  I love my pet___________(cat, dog, fish, etc. ) I like to play _______________(game) _ with my pet.  I feed my pet__ _____________. 

Cards from each category will be placed throughout the room on tables or desks. Students will pick up 3 cards each and try to find another student or students to combine their word part with to create a new word.  New words formed will be recorded on a sheet and shared with the class as a pair and share at the end of the lesson.  

This resource contains a link to a youtube video titled "The Digital Divide, Explained" along with questions for students to respond to after they view the video.

Students will complete a mini research project focusing on either the advantages or disadvantages of transmitting information over the Internet, with the focus areas of speed, reliability, cost, and security.

This module specifically focuses on Cellular Respiration, both aerobic and anaerobic. The breakdown of nutrient molecules provides energy to the cell. This energy is stored in specific chemicals that are used to carry out the life functions of the cell (BIO.2 e). This module was developed by Teresa Ballou as part of a Virginia Commonwealth University STEM initiative sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education.

Students will examine and discuss six works of art depicting various elements from the African American historical experience and will follow up with a short essay about their experience with the art.
