To conclude any novel read in class or as a book report option, students will create a Bloom Ball book report. The twelve-sided structure will require students to answer questions connecting to the novel. Each face of the structure will ask a question that aligns with a particular level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Community leaders educate those around them about a variety of issues and topics, including human trafficking. They may be a trusted adult for a young person, a moral authority in a congregation, or have the ability to empower their peers to learn to recognize and report human trafficking. Regardless of their specific role, their leadership positions them to educate and influence others. Below are several resources that can be used to start conversations and raise awareness of trafficking within communities across the country.
The goal of this exercise is to explore the ways in which adolescents' body image is related to attitudes and experiences in school. Particular attention will be paid to similarities and differences between boys and girls.
Connect what students already know about paragraphs to using paragraphs in the context of a paper. This works best when paired with an assigned writing project. (Make sure to have already taught sentence variety and transitional words/phrases)
Estimating and measuring length in U.S. Customary and metric units. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 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 lesson is based on a book from Reader's Theater. The book selected for this lesson is called Using My Body. The teacher will introduce the book, and go over the picture vocabulary, and the sight words in the book. The students will participate in repeated readings to build fluency and increase their concept vocabulary. They will be assessed on fluency when they perform in front of the class and for comprehension when they do their cloze activity.
This model allows you to explore why polar and non-polar substances have very different boiling points. While all molecules are attracted to each other, some attractions are stronger than others. Non-polar molecules are attracted through a London dispersion attraction; polar molecules are attracted through both the London dispersion force and the stronger dipole-dipole attraction. The force of attractions between molecules has consequences for their interactions in physical, chemical and biological applications.
Explore the relationships between properties of molecules, temperature, and movement of particles.
Dan Meyer has created many mathematics lessons centered around storytelling, along with a methodology for using these with students. Before you do any of his lessons, please see the explanation at his blog: https://blog.mrmeyer.com/2011/the-three-acts-of-a-mathematical-story/ To see all the lessons in a Google Docs spreadsheet, go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jXSt_CoDzyDFeJimZxnhgwOVsWkTQEsfqouLWNN

The lessons are all CC BY, and you may edit these to fit your own students’ needs. The links from #GoOpenVA go to his own website because the structure of the lessons (including pertinent videos) is integral to the delivery of the lessons. Some lessons are stored as downloadable zip files, and these are noted as part of the link.

A digital checklist board that you can use in any content area! This is a project management resource. The directions are geared towards a book report, however, you could adjust them for any project where the students need to stay organized
Students will use primary sources to detect propaganda.
Students determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull by designing and creating a ramp. They test their design, make improvements and redesign their ramp before retesting. They graph their data to determine which ramp makes their ball hit their intended target.
2.NS.3 The student will use mathematical reasoning and justification to solve contextual problems that involve partitioning models into equal-sized parts (Halves, fourths, eighths, thirds, and sixths).

This is an introductory lesson for creating box plots.
Students will collect and display data in a Box Plot
In collaboration with the Chief Movement Officer (CMO) Cadre of Virginia, FRESH created brain boost strategies. These strategies are designed to use classroom exercises to energize and refresh students through short bursts of movement. They are most effective when used throughout the day.
This lesson combines ELA story elements and coding on a student-friendly BrainPOP Jr. Platform. Students can take a book they have read and use the BrainPOP Jr. platform for a variety of story map to demonstrate their comprehension of the material chosen.
