Geography: World Government Types Legislation Structure Large Poster Size
By Geography & Math Made Easy
A zip file reader is needed to open the file.
Includes:
Government legislative structure can be hard to understand and grasp, especially when you are discussing types of government systems around the world. Who makes the laws and who approves the laws? Who is the head of government? What is a unicameral versus a bicameral legislation? This printable graphic show students examples of head of state and head of government such as monarchs, presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors. The bottom explains what the difference is between a unicameral and bicameral legislative body and gives examples of what these law-making bodies may be called around the world, such as Senate, House, Parliament, National Assembly, etc. It is important to understand that a Prime Minister in one country may not have the same roles as a Prime Minister in another country, same as a Monarch may be an absolute Monarch may be Head of Government and Head of State, where as in a country such as England which has a constitutional monarchy, the role of the monarch is only ceremonial.
This graphic is designed to bring clarity to various positions a government can have. When students read that a government has a unicameral legislation, they will understand that it only has one body such as a Parliament that makes and passes laws.
Students must understand that every government within each country may have similarities but is usually structured differently.

Lately, upsetting things have been happening in the world and our students are very much aware of them. Tens of thousands of people have protested on the streets to make their voices heard about all kinds of issues that students care about including racism, inequality, policing, discrimination, etc. Protests have spread across the nation and seem to rival the historic demonstrations of the Civil Rights Movement. It is important for us to bring these topics into our classrooms—because students want to be part of the conversation and share their thoughts and feelings about the very issues that affect them.
This resource features 48 Protest questions that can be used as writing prompts, discussion/debate questions, or both! These questions encourage students to think deeply about protests, the root causes of them, their experiences with them, the effectiveness of them, how they compare to the protests of the past - AND SO MUCH MORE! These questions can spark some deep conversations among students. Without a doubt, these questions give students an opportunity to share their feelings and thoughts about the protests they have been witnessing.
These Protest Writing or Discussion Prompt Questions would make an AMAZING supplement to any lesson and can be used in a variety of ways.
The Break Down:

✅ LIST of Protest Questions
Also included is a 2.5-page LIST OF PROTEST QUESTIONS to allow easier access for teachers to read and select questions to work with. It’s like an overview page of the protest questions listed in the Task Cards, Worksheets, and Strips.

Roman Empire Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes the Roman Empire's expansion, government and legacies left for the modern world which is studied in the 6th grade curriculum under the following standards:
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, complete the tasks to conquer nearby territories to expand the Roman Empire's control and defend Roman from invasions by their enemies; failure will result in the downfall of Rome. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #6. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have successful expanded the empire and defended off all enemy attacks!
This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!

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. Materials: • One 50 Slide PowerPoint • Grading Rubrics • Student Loop Diagram Examples • Printable Handouts: 1) Handout #1- Power-Point Guided Notes 2) Handout #2- The U.S.-Mexico Border Puzzle Pieces If you liked this lesson see the 'BUNDLE unit lesson' here: NAFTA & the U.S. Mexico Border Bundle I OFTEN PROVIDE FREEBIES TO MY FOLLOWERS AND ALL NEW PRODUCTS DEBUT AT 20% OFF: • Look for the green star next to my store logo at the top right corner of this page and click it to become a follower.

HG Renaissance Bellwork- Teacher and Student Copies- Modern World History
By History Guru
Topic:
Analyze the causes, events, and effects of the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and Age of Exploration.
SS.912.W.4.AP.4: Identify characteristics of Renaissance humanism in literature and the arts.
Bellwork To Start Your Class In Each Unit:
These units are focused on close reading in history/social studies, primarily in the discipline of history, and using text-dependent questions to help students gain a deeper understanding of informational texts. Unit 3 will offer suggestions for how to implement FL CCSS in the other related disciplines of civics, economics, and geography.
Why Close Reading Now?
I wear a variety of professional hats—Department Head, Social Studies Coach, Youth In Government Advisor, Interactive Notebook Team member for the District, Chromebook Leader, tech Leader, School-Based Leadership Team, AVID Tutor, and most of all Teacher. To keep myself honest (and humble), I spend a lot of time in classrooms watching kids and teachers at work. During the past few years, I've observed a transformation in the teaching of reading from an approach that measured readers' successful understanding of text through lengthy packets of comprehension questions to one that requires students to think about their thinking, activating their "good reader" strategies. The National Assessment of Educational Progress even made one of those strategies—making reader/text connections—a thinking strand within its framework (National Assessment Governing Board, 2002). For a long while, this approach looked ideal. What could be better than creating metacognitive readers?
Social Studies Bellwork/ Bellringer/ Close Read models to start your day:
Product Description:
The students will complete the bellwork in a 5 day model. Each day is a scaffolded release of questions targeted at 5 main language arts standards. This allows students to pick apart the important information while meeting their language arts requirements in social studies
Bellwork Procedure:
Conversation: There is no talking during Bellwork time. Silently get Bellwork out from the bin & return it silently as well. Quiet/ voices off from entrance into the classroom till last Bellwork is put away.
Help: There should be no talking during this activity, so if you have a question: please raise your hand quietly, wait patiently, & once I can I will answer your question. Please think about the wording of your question before you ask, seeing as this is an assessment.
Activity: Bellwork day 1-4: One question per day.
Bellwork 5: Quiz= do all four questions.
UNREAL: EVERYDAY
Underline the title
Number the sections
Read to understand: mark the text
Eliminate wrong answers
Answer
Look back to double check answers
Movement: 1. Quietly grab your Bellwork from the bin without emptying file folder out; just grab yours.
2. Silently do your Bellwork at your seat.
3. Silently place Bellwork back into the correct file folder.
4. Sit quietly at your seat as we patiently wait for others to finish.
Participation: This is an independent activity. Please look at your paper only and give a full effort. I am checking your understanding/ skills, not someone else’s.
Success:
• UNREAL: __/12 points
• Daily Questions (front): ___/10 points each
• Quiz (back): total of ___/40 points
• Efficiency: Smart Goal of 80% or above
