11th Grade Research

Explore the fascinating intersection of science and history in this engaging lesson that combines the study of the endocrine system with ethical considerations of circus side shows. Students will learn about various endocrine disorders (such as gigantism, dwarfism, and hirsutism) and their physiological causes, using historical figures like Robert Wadlow (the "Alton Giant") and Annie Jones (the "Bearded Lady") as case studies. Through research, group presentations, and guided discussions, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of hormone imbalances and their impact on the body but also critically examine how these individuals were treated and exploited in the context of 19th and 20th-century circus performances. By the end of the lesson, students will reflect on how understanding these conditions can foster empathy and promote ethical healthcare practices.
Includes:

• Endocrine system overview and key glands

• Case study handouts of famous historical performers

• Group work with research and presentation guidelines

• Ethical discussion prompts and reflection questions

• Printable worksheets for case studies and ethical reflection

This lesson blends science with critical thinking and history, encouraging students to reflect on both the biological and social aspects of rare conditions. Perfect for introducing students to the complexities of endocrine disorders and the importance of empathy in healthcare.

I envisaged this to be a September week 1 internet activity. It will give students an opportunity to think about how other people perceive them. It could also be used as a lesson in how to search Google effectively or used as a dictionary / thesaurus activity, where students have to find descriptive words in order to search for appropriate pictures on Google Images.

These have been doing the rounds on FaceBook and email recently. You may have received posters / postcards entitled "Teachers...." or "Moms..." and then under the title are a series of photos with captions like;

What my friends think I do

What my mother thinks I do

What I think I do

What I really do

Each caption is accompanied by an image of what that person thinks about the other person or group of people.

The sample here is of the "Teacher..." postcard. This is NOT what I am selling. I am selling a similar template entitled, "Students..." It is laid out the same as the teacher one with the same titles (the word teacher has been replaced with student), however, the pictures are missing. Students must search Google Images for appropriate pictures that characterize themselves. The photo titles are as follows;

Students...

What my friends think I do

What my mother thinks I do

What society thinks I do

What my teachers think I do

What I think I do

What I really do

My students printed off the images and then cut them out and pasted them on.

Enjoy!!!!

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!

This lesson will have students critically explore what has been described as “one of the worst human rights crisis in the world”— referring to the camps located in the northwestern province of China, which are currently holding a million or more Uighur Muslims. The Chinese government disagrees with this portrayal, and has claimed that the camps are merely “re-education centers.” This lesson will have students analyze the validity of the two portrayals through the study of multiple sources.

The central investigative question is:

Are the camps in China “re-education centers” or are they “concentration camps”?

Time Frame: 2-3 class periods (60 min)

Materials:

• Lesson Plan

• 14 Slide Presentation

• Student Handout
