✧ Geography Bell Ringers Bundle

✧ Geography Bell Ringers Individually

Every minute counts! As teachers, we are strapped for time. There simply doesn't seem to be enough time to teach all the necessary concepts or find time to prepare adequately for state testing! While you take roll, take up homework, and answer questions regarding late work, etc., have a quick bell warm-up activity for students to complete that will reinforce map, chart, and graph reading along with other higher-level thinking-skill questions. This will prepare your students for state testing! (Questions not included with this template, but can be found in our store).

Not only are these geography warm-up activity bell ringers for the beginning of class great transitions to start class and get students mentally ready for class, but it's also a great way to work in time for state test prep activities without all the extra work**.** Many of the social studies test questions require students to read, examine, and analyze maps, charts, graphs, etc. I have used bell ringers for years and I have seen an increase in students' abilities to read maps, graphs, and charts. It's worth your time and theirs!

This second set of bell ringers ask students to use their class atlases to read maps, graphs, and charts such as map projections, climate maps, time zone maps, population pyramids, and more. Although they are specified for the first six weeks, they can be used at any time throughout the year. The atlas used for reference is the Rand McNally 6th Edition found on Amazon for $15 found here. But many atlases can be used and are more affordable here. If you use another atlas, simply modify each slide to reference the map or page in the atlas you are using. The questions can remain the same.

Many educators struggle with the task of figuring out how to start class each day or how to transition from concept to concept. Due to the nature of switching class to class, students often struggle to mentally prepare to transition to a different subject. A popular solution to these problems is the idea of the beginning of the class warm-up bellringers. These start-of-class activities benefit both students and teachers.

A bell ringer, often referred to as a warm-up activity or a do-now, is a short exercise or prompt given to students at the beginning of class. These activities are designed to capture students' attention, activate prior knowledge, and set the tone for the rest of the lesson.

Note: Answers are in the presentation notes section within each slide.

ALTERNATIVE USE FOR TEMPLATE

I use questions from a book on everything from map reading from climate to culture to government. It is a great way to give them this practice. I suggest rather than coming up with your questions, get a book with practice questions. I display the question before class begins, and students know what to do as soon as they enter the door. They grab their Geojournal, sit down and complete the 2-3 question warm-up.

I can find questions relevant to what they were studying that week. When creating my lesson plans, it takes 10 minutes to choose the practice questions for the week. Here is the series of geography books that I used: (copy and paste if the link down does not work)

Where to find Daily Geography Practice Books:

✧Evan-Moore Site: https://www.evan-moor.com/social-studies-daily-practice

✧Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Geography-Practice-Grade-6/dp/1557999759

This book is called Daily Geography Practice. It is the best purchase I made for my geography classroom. Evan-Moore has grades 1-6. Even if you teach a higher grade level, these books are useful across grade levels. I purchased the 5th and 7th-grade versions and used them in my 7th-grade geography classroom.

Most classrooms now have projectors or smart boards and these can be used with either. I hope this helps and makes it easier to create bell work! This is the easiest thing I do or plan in the classroom with a great outcome.

Work smarter, not harder!

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.

Introduce your students to the complexities of Constitutional Law with this engaging and interactive activity! Students will step into the shoes of Supreme Court Justices to analyze a fictional Fourth Amendment case. This is a fun activity when teaching about the Fourth Amendment and/or the Supreme Court.

This product has students analyze the interactions during a routine traffic stop between police officers and a citizen. The citizen alleges Fourth Amendment violations during the stop and brings the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Students then have to write an "opinion" of the Court and present to the class or submit for a grade.

The case is based on a recent Supreme Court opinion discussing Fourth Amendment Rights and unreasonable searches and seizures.

This can be done as a group or individually as a short assessment. The resource includes:

• Step-by-Step Instructions: Easy-to-follow guidelines help students navigate the case analysis process.
• Opinion Writing: A structured template assists students in organizing their thoughts and presenting a clear argument.
• Critical Thinking: Encourages students to consider multiple perspectives and develop sound critical thinking and reasoning skills.
• Note to Teacher: Includes the ruling for the actual Supreme Court case for reference.
• Classroom Ready: Printable PDF format for easy distribution and use in any classroom setting.

(This activity is not necessarily looking for a correct answer, but is looking to assess how well students understand and can analyze the language of the Fourth Amendment based on a given set of facts).

This can usually be done in one 50 minute class period.
