It explores the life and influence of Henri de Tolouse-Lautrec, famous for his lithographs of iconic figures from his time constructed so that they were recognizable, but generally partially concealed, a tactic used by many marketers and graphic artists today. The unit looks at contemporary examples of this technique, and culminates in students creating their own piece in this style.

A Scream Box is a fun and effective way to vent some of those intense emotions that build up inside like anger, fear and stress. While breathing, physical activity and talking about it are great ways to help deal difficult emotions, sometimes you just need to scream! Handled correctly, this can be a therapeutic way to vent some of that frustration. Screaming however is not always socially acceptable or appropriate. That's where the Scream Box comes in handy.The pictures in this article are of a scream box my 13 year-old daughter made.You can decorate your box however you want, but here are the basic steps:1. Gather up the following ingredients:- Cereal box (preferably an empty one).- Cardboard tube from inside a roll of paper towels.- Old newspaper or packing paper (regular paper or tissue paper can also work)- Tape (duct tape works best, but packing tape will also suffice)- Construction paper or wrapping paper to cover the cereal box- Items to decorate your box (markers, pencils, stickers, glitter or whatever you want to use)2. Pack the cardboard tube and the cereal box full of paper. This helps to muffle the sound when you scream.3. Cut a whole in the top of the box just big enough for the tube to fit in.4. Insert the tube into the hole and duct tape all the way around the area where the tube meets the box.5. Decorate your box however you would like.Using the box is also pretty simple. When you're frustrated or angry or stressed and other calm down techniques aren't working, just pull out your scream box and scream into the cardboard tube. It doesn't totally eliminate sounds, but it will muffle your screams and still let you 'get it out.'Post a picture of your scream box in the comments below so we can see what it looks like!

Engage your students in this cooperative practice activity! Students read time on an analog clock, then play a whole class or large group game based on their answers. These cards are differentiated, allowing you to discreetly assign students a card or problem based on their individual ability level. These cards include times to the nearest minute and to the nearest five minutes for a variety of ability levels. This file includes: 32 differentiated "I Have, Who Has" cards Instructions for play Differentiation guide for this product Each card is color coded so the activity can be accessible to all students. Though each card requires students to find the time, the clocks read different difficulty times as follows: Grey Clock Face- most difficult, designed for above level students. These cards have hands that are close together or towards the end of the hour, making it more difficult to read the time. These cards are all to the nearest minute. Teal Clock Face- moderate difficulty, designed for higher on-level students. These cards ask for time to the nearest minute. Purple Clock Face- low on-level to below level. These cards are either time to the nearest five minutes or early in the hour to make it easier to read the time. Pink Clock Face- easy, for below-level students. These cards are all to the nearest five minutes and are early in the hour so the hands are very close to the hour the clock reads. Love this product? Check out I Have-Who Has: Area of Quadrilaterals!
