Middle School World History Lesson

World History Student Learning Goal Checklist Many districts require teachers to post the learning goals for each lesson in the classroom. While this may seem like an unnecessary, extra step at first, it is truly beneficial to the students. I created this packet/spreadsheet to make goal posting simple, effective, and consistent. This can be printed out sheet by sheet and placed into their INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS, it can be distributed through a Google Sheet, or into a data folder. This is completely up to you. One way- Student directions: It is based on the work we have done thus far, please put an x in the box that best describes your knowledge of the "I can" statement. Before the unit please use a blue highlighter & before the test please revisit and use a pink highlighter. Another way- Instructions: Step By Step 1. Find the unit we are in right now. 2. Based on the work we have done thus far, please put an x in the box that best describes your knowledge of the "I can" statement. 3. Be sure to revisit this before your test to ensure that You've Got This Down! This is what the Civics team is creating your test off of. If you can move yourself to the final column of "Yes, I can." Then you should score 80% or higher on the test. I will be checking on these :) 4. If you get assigned to an intervention. You will need to edit this on the last day of that cycle P.s. This is also AMAZING for teacher & PLC planning.

• Confucianism
• Judaism

It also addresses concepts such as:

As an introductory activity, it would be helpful to have books available at each station or Internet access, so that students have an outlet to research the question posed.

As a review activity, simply have students rotate from one station to the other answering the review questions.

This allows students to collaborate to discuss and come to a conclusion on the answer. Students will not be left on their own but will have the opportunity to learn from their classmates. This lesson also incorporates movement in the classroom rather than asking them to remain in their seats for the hour-long or more class period.

This lesson encourages students to work in cooperative teams to complete the World Religion Scavenger Hunt Game as they compete to achieve 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Student will love the lesson and will have fun learning. It is not simply a scavenger hunt, but a scavenger hunt game!

Students have 7 sections to complete: Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Judaism, and Islam. Students will complete one section at a time, and once they have correctly answered the section they are working on, they will be allowed to move on to the next section. They are given two opportunities to answer the questions correctly, earning points for each correct answer.

This lesson requires instructor active participation throughout the entire process as he/she will be continually assessing the students answers to give them points and the "go-ahead" to move to the next section. Student will be moving about the room and actively engaged in the learning process.

• Student will explore and compare major world religion.

Teacher Preparation:

• Plan the arrangement of students into groups of 2 or 4.
• Realize students will actively move around the room during this activity.
• Provide a table in the front of the room with books students can use to assist in answering questions.
• Provide Internet access stations for student to use.
• Set a desk in the middle or front of the classroom with the teacher answer sheet. This is where the instructor will sit during the game scoring each section for points.

This Lesson Includes 15 pages of:

• Teacher instruction
• Vocabulary Sheet for Scavenger Hunt Preparation
• Student Activity Sheets
• Blank Answer Sheet (Optional)
• Teacher Answer Key
• Additional World Document of the Student Activity Sheets for Instructor Modification.

Important Note: a Word document of the game has been included in the chance that you would like to change some of the questions to meet your needs. Note that based on the version of Word that you have, the original formatting may change. You will need to reformat in this case. This is why TeachShare encourages one to use only PDF formatting so as not to cause issues for the purchaser. However, I realize that it would be helpful if you, the purchaser, have the ability to change questions to correspond with what you wish your students to learn. You can find the Word document within the Zip file.

This lesson is easy enough for 5th graders to understand yet works well with students up to grade 12. Modifications can be made as needed.

Are you tired of the repetitive worksheets and workbooks that promise to teach your students how to read absolute location (latitude and longitude)? Try out the Battleship: Latitude & Longitude game. This introductory lesson involves a game that will not only encourage students to learn how to read coordinates, but they will have a blast doing it as they sink ships for points. I have used this activity in my 7th-grade geography, class but this activity is great for all learning levels. Please note, this is a class activity that the entire class will play together.

Students will work in cooperative teams (class is split into team 1 and team 2) and will work cooperatively within the teams to identify the location of ships throughout the world, using the deduction method.

Students will walk away from this lesson having a better understanding of how to accurately read latitude and longitude.

Teachers, feel free to modify this lesson to meet your students' needs.

Note: This will come in a zip file. Please print all three files. I am not clear on why it created 3 files instead of one, but all components needed are included within one of the three files.

A photo gallery walk is a fun and engaging way to get your student actively involved in the learning process. Students will work together in teams or cooperative groups and will travel through 12 picture galleries learning about the different world religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism among other religions. This is a great activity for an introductory lesson or for a reinforcement activity!

Covers the traditions and practices of the world’s most influential religions of the world: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islamism, Taoism, Animism, Shintoism, Monotheism, Polytheism & non-religions: Atheism, Agnosticism. The lesson teaches the difference between polytheistic and monotheistic religions.

OBJECTIVE:

• The learner will become familiar with world religions’ cultural hearth, beliefs, and practices.
• The learner will recognize and understand key terms of each world religion.
• The learner will examine the beliefs, traditions, and customs of the major religions of the world.
• The learner will determine the similarities and differences between each world religion.

MATERIALS:

• Copies of each gallery, laminated for future use and durability. (Place these around the room or in the hall if more room is needed)
• Use adhesive to adhere all 12 gallery sheets to the wall, spread out as if you were in a gallery.
• Post-it notes for each group
• A clipboard or a piece of paper for each group to place their sticky notes on as they move around the room.

INCLUDES:

• Teacher Guide
• Chart to display
• 12 Galleries with images and explanations
• Introduction guiding questions and suggested videos
  (Suggested videos are simply suggestions, it will be up to the instructor to select a video if they choose to use one.)
• Procedure activity along with the gallery walk
• Exit tickets
• Opt-out sample letter to parents

IMPORTANT NOTE:
World religions can be a sensitive topic. When presenting the religions and discussing them do not show any bias’ toward one religion. Remain neutral so as not to lean to accept one religion over the other. This is a factual lesson that helps students understand culture throughout the world as many cultural practices are relative to a specific religion within the region. You may have some parents who prefer their child to not be taught this within the classroom setting. If your district has a policy where parents can request their child not attend class during a sensitive topic, then send out a letter to all parents communicating that your class is starting a unit on world religions and have them sign it to opt-out or opt-in. Follow your district’s guidelines.
