It covers the pre-Columbian era through 1810. It also features four specific notable Native American women from this time period.

Holiday Toy Trends Mini Research Unit

By Three Little Homeschoolers

Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.

Part One

-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.

-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade

Part Two

-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.

-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students

Part Three

-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories

-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.

This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!

Complete 6-Lesson Transatlantic Slave Trade Unit: Worksheets, Activities, Assess

By Yugen Learning

This comprehensive 6-lesson unit on the Transatlantic Slave Trade is perfect for middle and high school History classes. The unit includes whether for daily lessons or as an emergency sub plans, PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, and hands-on activities that cover everything from the Triangular Trade to the abolition of the slave trade. Each lesson features engaging tasks like mapping activities, source analysis, and graphing resistance actions. The final lesson culminates with an assessment that asks students to reflect on who should take credit for the abolition of the slave trade. Ideal for use as part of a full unit or for emergency sub plans, this resource aligns with Common Core and TEKS standards.

Product Purpose and Benefits:

This unit provides students with a thorough understanding of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, from its origins and human impact to its eventual abolition.

  • Interactive activities: mapping, timeline analysis, graphing resistance, and source analysis.
  • Editable PowerPoint presentations for each lesson, making it easy to teach or assign to a substitute.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

Each lesson encourages active student participation and integrates various teaching methods to ensure engagement. The unit covers both academic content and sensitive reflection, making it ideal for cross-curricular learning.

How to Use This Resource:

Teachers can use the lessons individually or as part of a complete unit. The assessments and activities make it suitable for both in-person and online teaching.

Call to Action:

Download this complete unit today to enrich your students' understanding of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its significance in world history.

Curriculum Standards:

  • Common Core Standards: RH.9-10.1, RH.9-10.2, WHST.9-10.9

The Japanese-American Internment in World War II: PPT Lesson and Assessment

By Christa Nonnemaker

This 30-slide Power Point Lesson and Assessment on the Japanese internment and the Japanese-American experience in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II and how it impacted the Japanese immigrants (Issei) and their American-born children (Nisei).

The slides include information about the internment in camps along with the enlistment of both young Nisei men and Nisei women in the military. The slides also include information about those who didn't live in the camps and those who presented legal challenges to internment. The slides use engaging visuals including photographs, letters, documents and art to convey the experiences of an entire group of people who were moved away from their homes and businesses without constitutional redress. These visuals are primary sources that the instructor can use to further student understanding. The slides also include Reflection Questions which the instructor can choose to discuss with students. There are no correct answers to the Reflection Questions but should prompt interesting discussions.

This slide presentation is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. At the end of the presentation, there is a slide that provides annotations on the websites used to access the primary sources which are featured throughout the presentation.

I hope that students find this presentation worthwhile and deepens their understanding about an experience that should give everyone pause but also shows the resiliency of both the Issei and Nisei during a very difficult time.

The Assessment is available on Easel and includes images.

NAFTA & The U.S./Mexico Border

By Sarah Austin

This lesson is based on my own personal experience as a participant on a USA-Mexico border tour project organized by Rethinking Schools & Global Exchange that provided first-hand experience and knowledge concerning the effects of U.S. foreign policy, such as NAFTA, on the lives of ordinary people who reside in the Tijuana area. Students will be prompted to delve far beyond the mainstream explanation that answers the critical question as to why people cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This lesson will have students examine the broader context, and underlying factors to this question, which intimately tie itself to Mexico's agricultural economy. Students will identify the causal puzzle pieces, and then create a ‘LOOP’ (web) diagram that will serve to demonstrate their understandings of how these underlying causes interconnect with one another.
