As students match the items called out, they’ll not only reinforce their understanding of each supply’s importance but also enhance their listening and cognitive skills. This interactive approach ensures that students can see the value of being prepared and organized for their educational journey ahead.
But the benefits don’t stop with the students! Teachers will appreciate the ease with which this game can be integrated into their lesson plans. The game comes with a comprehensive teacher’s guide, complete with suggestions for discussions and activities that extend the learning beyond the bingo session. By using this engaging tool, educators can lighten their planning load while simultaneously fostering a joyful, collaborative classroom environment where every student feels ready and excited for the school year.

This lesson focuses on the innovations and inventions that are borne from tragedy, specifically as it relates to 9/11. This is perfect for technology class or for use in a Social Studies or History classroom that wants to incorporate technology with a lesson for Patriot Day, September 11th.

Students work in pairs or small groups to create a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint (or Google Slides) about some of the things that were invented because of the disaster that occurred on 9/11 after researching them. They use the information gained from their research to create a finished presentation that explains a few of the inventions inspired by that disaster and add their own opinions and insights to it.

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be used with upper elementary or high school students.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
