Your students can learn about its construction, history, and significance in global trade. **President Theodore Roosevelt **spent $365 million in the early 1900s to build the canal that would make history! They'll be amazed by the sheer scale of this project and how it revolutionized international shipping. Not only is it educational, but it's also a great way to spark curiosity and interest in geography and world history. Plus, who doesn't love a good story about overcoming challenges and engineering feats? It was a great feat and the 50-mile canal of lock was built in only 10 years! Amazing!

- Analyze primary sources related to the meaning and context of the Chicano Rights Movement.
The primary sources include;
- Photograph taken on December 19, 1969 outside of a Safeway supermarket in Seattle, WA (strike and boycott led by Cesar Chavez)
- Speech given by César Chavez to the Commonwealth Club of California on Sept 9, 1984.
- Viva La Causa Documentary film- the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. The film shows how thousands of people from across the nation joined in a struggle for justice for the most exploited people in our country — the workers who put food on our tables.

This product was made for students to learn about the 50 states, the spelling of each state, and each state's abbreviation. This product includes slides that are made up of the states that begin with the same letter on each slide, as these states can be confusing. For example: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Arkansas as well as their abbreviations so students can see the difference. Slides that show states that don't have any similarities, like Georgia, and states that have two words, like New York, are also addressed.
Each slide is provided with the state name and the abbreviation. Students can attempt to fill in the blanks of the abbreviations that were reviewed on each previous slide as well. This helps students to learn the spelling, abbreviations, and location of each state. This product can be used for students who benefit from having material adapted and it can also be used with students who are on grade level as well.

The Japanese-American Internment During World War II: Teaching Bundle
By Christa Nonnemaker
The resource bundle includes the following items:
*The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Power Point Presentation
* The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Reading Assignment and Worksheet with Answer Key
*The Japanese-American Experience During World War II: Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQs
PowerPoint Presentation
This 30-slide presentation on 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 Japanese and Japanese-American 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.
Reading Assignment and Worksheet with Answer Key
This 7-page Reading Assignment about the Japanese internment and other experiences 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). This close reading assignment goes beyond typical textbook descriptions of the Japanese-American experience during World War II. It provides detailed explanations as to the evacuation process, life in the camps and issues that the residents faced. The assignment also includes information about those who didn't live in the camps and those who presented legal challenges to internment. The 3-page Worksheet asks students to answer questions based on their reading. This will reinforce their learning on the topic.
This Reading Assignment is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. The second page of this assignment provides a list of important terms as well as an explanation about the use of historical terminology. I hope that students find this Reading Assignment 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. A worksheet is included.
This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.
Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQs
This 23-page resource with 15 primary sources and 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experiences of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Many students know that Japanese-Americans from the West Coast were interned. Here’s a chance to read documents that shed light on how the decision was made, whether the racial prejudices were shared among all Americans, how Japanese-Americans contributed outside the camps, and how re-integration was perceived. The Japanese-American experience went far beyond their internment in the camps.
Primary Sources include:
Customer Complaint and Restaurant Owner’s Response
Transcript from a Meeting in General DeWitt’s Office
Excerpt from Executive Order 9066
Evacuation Notice Number 9
Images from Evacuation and Assembly Center
Letter from Internee to Former Middle School Teacher
Report from Congressional Committee on Camps
Photographs of Life inside the Internment Camp
Resolution by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Santa Cruz Parlor
Photographs of Contributions by Japanese-Americans
Letter Insert by Assistant Director of War Relocation Authority
Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include letters, photos, reports and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes questions. Two DBQ prompts with instructions are included.
There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet.
If you like World War II historical fiction, I have written a book called Hearts of War about a Nisei soldier who served in the Military Intelligence Service and a woman who served in the Women Army Corps. In writing this book, I wanted to bring an unknown aspect of history to light. Available on Amazon or Kindle and I appreciate any reviews!
Thank you!

Women of the American Revolution, 1763-1783: Teaching Bundle
By Christa Nonnemaker
This resource bundle includes the following items:
*Revolutionary Women: Power Point Lesson
*Revolutionary Women: Reading Assignment and Worksheet
*Revolutionary Women: Primary Source Analysis and DBQs
Power Point Lesson
This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. The Pre-Revolutionary Era lasted from 1763 through 1776 and the Revolutionary War lasted from 1776 to 1783. It is an ideal lesson for the Revolutionary War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. The presentation includes descriptive text as well as primary sources. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.
Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women contributed during this period. Unlike during the Colonial Era, women began to take part politically, albeit in the form of writing or in choosing to boycott British goods. Nonetheless, it was a shift in women's roles in which women did not have a voice. This period challenged Americans to ask themselves what they sought in their new country. Not surprisingly, some women and African-Americans questioned whether they too should have equality in society. This question was not satisfactorily answered as a result of the war, but it did at least offer a platform wherein some people could pose the questions.
The Power Point presentation is available as a PDF and as a PPT file, included as a bonus file.
There is also an Easel Activity and Assessment. Whether for standard classroom use, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, these are valuable digital tools.
This is also available as a digital resource through Easel. Students may review independently.

This four-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women during the Revolutionary Era. It covers the time period 1763, the end of the French and Indian War and through the American Revolution to 1783. Due to increasing pressures from Great Britain, colonists began to resist and women, for the first time, became involved on a political level, although not at the same level as men. Women's contributions will be highlighted during the Pre-Revolutionary Era (1763-776) and the Revolutionary War (1776-1783).
Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

U.S. Women's History Curriculum Unit - Part 1 (1600-1920) * U.S. History * APUSH
By Christa Nonnemaker
The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum- Part 1 (1600-1920) contains Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s and Power Point Lessons covering seven different eras.
This curriculum unit covers women’s experiences, contributions and perspectives from the pre-Columbian Native American era through the turn of the century, but also including the culmination of the Women's Suffrage Movement with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
The U.S. Women’s History Curriculum – Part 1 is an ever-evolving curriculum unit that includes not just the listed resources but any other resources that will be added in the future.
This curriculum unit can stand alone as its own course or can serve to supplement your United States History curriculum or AP United States History curriculum. These materials provide a more nuanced and complex look at how women participated in American society than is usually given in standard textbooks.
For 8th Grade through 12th Grade students, the Reading Assignments and Worksheets are excellent summaries of women’s experiences that are completed individually or as group exercises. Reading assignments are usually 2-3 pages with 1-2 page worksheets.
For APUSH students, the Primary Source Analysis and DBQ’s are excellent opportunities for students to delve deeper into questions relating to developments, changing attitudes and policies relating to women during critical times in U.S. History. These resources usually include anywhere from 9 to 25 primary sources which vary from excerpts from books, letters, diaries, journals, newspaper articles, lectures and more, photographs, drawings, paintings, graphs, charts, maps and more. They provide excellent practice in identifying change/continuity over time (CCOT), cause/effect and in assessing significance of events.
Teachers can deliver the Power Point Lessons live or can record them for online viewing by their students. Power Point Lessons are usually 12-20 slides.

Native American Women: PowerPoint Lesson and Easel Assessment
By Christa Nonnemaker
This 12-slide PowerPoint presentation about Native American women describes general attributes of women in Native American societies with a focus on three specific regional groups: Pueblo Indians of the Southwest, the Plains Indians and the Iroquois Confederacy. It covers the pre-Columbian era through 1810. It also features four specific notable Native American women from this time period. This PowerPoint presentation works as part of the sequence of American History or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month. It also includes a map showing the key geographic regions of Native American tribes and groups.
Through the digital Easel assessment, students can check their knowledge and teachers can measure student learning. For home schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is a valuable online tool.
This resource is part of the Women in American History Series which includes the following PowerPoint lessons as well as Reading Assignments and Worksheets and Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's for various eras.
