FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON – “Ancient Greece: Minoan Frescoes”

by Skool Aid Products

5th – 8th Grade

 

MINOAN FRESCOES

 

Minoan Frescoes is an excerpt from my presentation of Ancient Greece: The Minoan and Mycenae Civilizations

The Minoan language has yet to be deciphered and the main source of information on them is from their frescoes and artifacts. These frescoes give students an unparalleled opportunity to experience being archaeologists. So I put together a series of Minoan frescoes paired with guiding questions to lead the students on a journey of historic discovery. How do their observations stand up to those of archaeologists and historians? Try the sample in your classroom, the complete Minoan presentation is 173 slides and handouts and explores in depth the entire archaeological discovery by Sir Arthur Evans and new information unearthed since then. Your students will love it, and be highly engaged in this style of learning.

Product format:
PowerPoint Show made in Microsoft 2013

Features include: slide sorter, laser pointer, digital pen, high lighter, and presenter’s notes. This makes it possible to add or highlight notes directly onto the slides. It is possible to check out these features on the preview, by right clicking on the screen. A tool box will appear so that you can experiment with the various tools.

Topics:
Minoan Frescoes


Contents:

10 slides

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Six Million People: An Enrichment Activity for The Diary of Anne Frank”

by Tonya Davis

6th – 8th Grade

 

Enrichment Activity for The Diary of Anne Frank

 

Everyone knows that 6,000,000 is a big number, but exactly how big is it? With this activity, students will get to incorporate basic math into a language arts lesson in which they get a clearer understanding of just how many people, like Anne Frank, were killed during the Holocaust. This activity involves taking a closer look at a smaller classification group to understand the big picture.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Find Someone Who…Knows Fractions Game!”

by AlwaysLearning

4th – 6th Grade

 

Find Someone Who Knows Fractions Game

 

This cooperative printable game with fractions can be used as review prior to an assessment or as a pre-unit prior knowledge assessment. Students answer questions on each other’s boards, and record their name on the squares they answer. When bingo is played, the students whose names are on the squares must give the correct answers for bingo to be awarded. The review is twofold: when they answer each others’ boards and when answers are reviewed during the bingo game.

Included:
* Directions
* Game Board
* Answer Key

I hope this helps to make reviewing fractions enjoyable for you in your classroom! Check out Find Someone Who… Knows Expressions Game! and Find Someone Who…Knows Equations Game! for the same math game but with different concepts! Also, for students in 6th-7th grades, Find Someone Who…Knows Fractions, Decimals, and Percents Game! is effective as a prior knowledge assessment or review!

FREE MATH LESSON – “Become A Math Lawyer-Defend Your Answer poster-labels”

by Pamela Kranz – Desktop Learning Adventures

4th – 8th Grade

 

Become A Math Lawyer-Defend Your Answer

 

Become a Math Lawyer, Defend Your Answer! This poster/label set reminds students that solving a problem is more than just writing down an answer. It gives them several checkpoints to consider, including, “Does your answer make sense?”. I frequently pair up students to “defend” their answers. It’s a great way to have them recheck their work before turning it in. It also encourages math conversation. The labels make good reminders when attached to their math journals or notebooks.

This set includes the Math Lawyer poster, as well as a template for labels that fits Avery Labels 5168, 3 1/2 X 5″, in color and a BW version for kids to decorate.

End of the Year Musings

 I always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye. Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will always be with us, but it will never be the same.

End of the Year Musings

 

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

Baby Canada GeeseI always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye.  Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will be always be with us, but it will never be the same.

Reflecting back to the beginning of the year, I remember how small they were when they first entered my room, some shy and nervous about their first few days, others acting cool trying to impress their peers., especially those they don’t know. The first hurdle over, they’ve opened their lockers. Simple process for some while others end up in tears because they can’t figure out how to do it. By the end of the year, they look back at this and laugh at themselves.

How strict I am the first few weeks, trying very hard not to crack a smile. This is the time to get them into shape. so that we all have a great year. They learn the rules and always test me.  Finally, after awhile, I can let my hair down and be myself. I can crack jokes, they can joke around and we can all laugh together. This is when real learning takes place, and to see their “ah ha,” moments is what teaching is all about.

I love 6th graders, the majority are so willing to learn, that it makes teaching rewarding and enjoyable.. One of my favorite things is our morning discussions. Their backgrounds are quite diverse and I learn something new almost everyday. Many are knowledgeable about a lot of things and they’re eager to share. They can talk about whatever is on their mind, and they feel safe doing so. We are now, officially a family and I’ve become their surrogate parent.Sandhill Crane Flying

As I say good-bye, each of my kids takes a part of me with them.  I feel certain that I’ve given them the support, strength and confidence to move on to seventh grade.   The time has come for them to spread their wings a fly.

When I close the door for the final time, I take comfort in knowing that soon I’ll have another bunch of little chickadees to bring up.

 

Have a wonderful summer

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Free Short Story Rubric Creative Writing Peer & Teacher Editing”

by Tracee Orman

4th – 12th Grade

 

Short Story Rubric Creative Writing

 

Creative writing rubrics
This two page document includes: one peer-editing rubric and one teacher grading rubric (the rubrics are the same, but labeled differently for each page).
Includes the following categories: creativity, plot, development of characters, organization, spelling, grammar, and a Liked It/Didn’t Like It section. There is an explanation for every single point.

I use this at the end of our short story unit when students compose their own. Students love to read their classmates’ stories, but are usually unsure on how to give valuable feedback on creative writing. This rubric helps.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Earth & Space Science + Scientific Process Classroom Clash Game – like Jeopardy”

by The Science Vault

5th – 9th Grade

 

Earth & Space Science

 

This is a powerpoint game similar to Jeopardy (TM). The six topics covered are: Scientific Method, Scientific Measurement, SI Units, The Earth, Earth Processes, and Space. Each topic has six questions arranged like Jeopardy: generally, the more money the question is worth, the harder the question. Great as a review or a back-to-school launch in an Earth Science class to get an idea about what your students already know. Jeopardy games are a great way to do something fun and challenging – I like to use them as a formative assessment in the beginning of a unit (or, in this case, a course), as a review, or even the last 20 minutes of class on a Friday 🙂

FREE MATH LESSON – “Diffy – Fun Subtraction Math Game! Use with Integers, Fractions, Money”

by Rachel Lynette

2nd – 12th Grade

 

Diffy - Fun Subtraction Math Game

 

Diffy is a fun and intriguing math game that requires subtraction, logic, and pattern recognition to win. It can be played with whole numbers, negative numbers, fractions, and money. This game is challenging for both kids and adults!

You can play Diffy using the document camera with the whole class, or have students complete their own Diffy games either in worksheet format or at a center with laminated wipe-off sheets.

This download includes:
-Teacher intro and game sample
-Color Diffy game with directions
-Black and white diffy game with directions

These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Comprehension Activity: Nonfiction Reading and Writing Analysis”

by Connie

6th – 12th Grade

 

Nonfiction Reading and Writing Analysis

 

Although all Middle School and High School programs of study require core whole-class nonfiction readings, as often as possible, students should choose nonfiction informational reading that hooks their personal interest.

The kids will be more inclined to want to read a topic of their choice (ownership) which will lead to the desire to express their thoughts and interpretations clearly and coherently. Their reading and writing proficiencies will blossom and solidify. This is a win-win teaching/learning idea for teachers and students.

This FREE 8-page product offers:
1. Almost 2-pages of Teacher Notes and teaching suggestions.
2. A Student Directions page that lists Types of Articles as well as Types of Newspapers, Magazines, Online article sources and Texts.
3. A detailed analysis worksheet for note-taking
4. A Ten Sentence format page so students can write a summary of the article using information from their notes, and
5. A format for students to expand their writing proficiency by turning a summary into a full-length essay.

This FREE Common Core and Bloom’s Taxonomy aligned activity should be used with any core nonfiction reading as well as for raising reading comprehension thinking and writing skills proficiencies.

For a product that coordinates well with this one, here is a packet that focuses on the parts of essay writing, so when it is time for students to write an expository piece they are prepared to create a focused and supported composition. Download it from
Writing: Write Right! Analytic Writing Made Easy

and to go along with that, check out these writing rubrics

Don’t Let the Pencil Craze Get to You!

TeacherCrossEyeTeacherPencilStationCRT

Are pencils driving you crazy?


Students not having a pencil?


Losing them? Breaking the tip?

The pencil craze got to me too!  It doesn’t need to!  During my student teaching we had cups with pencils at each group that we sharpened every morning and ensured there were plenty in each cup, which was great!  That was in first grade. Over the years, I became use to about 2-3 students per class not having a pencil, therefore, I always purchased a box or two at a time and handed pencils out to those students.   This year was a little different for me and the pencil craze got me!  So many lost pencils, broken pencil tips, or students just didn’t have a pencil.

I felt pencil crazed!  A solution must be found!!!

After much thought I came up with my “Pencil Station”!

Free Group and Skit Evaluation Rubric

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Group-and-Skit-Evaluation-Rubric-699937

 

Group and Skit Evaluation Rubric

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their own success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.

This self evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their own work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid in particular allows the students to become organized and responsible for their own individual parts.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:
 Helps the teacher justify the final mark;
 Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;
 Helps parents and students better understand the task required;
 Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file in order to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.

It’s teaching made easy!

Now that using a protractor is a Common Core skill for 4th grade, here is a little freebie to help your students, (and maybe you too, if it has been a while since you’ve had to use one!)

You get a large version of the poster which can be projected on your interactive white board or printed out poster-sized. There is also a page with a smaller version, which is great to print out for students to glue into their math notebooks.
