Want to make reading primary sources engaging and fun? This easy-to-run primary source-based collaborative lesson had my students hooked! Students read primary sources about the civilizations of the Americas (Aztec, Maya, and Inca) and answer questions on a Google Form. Each correct answer earns groups a 3x5 card to build a tower with. The tallest tower wins! In a fun twist, students also get to choose a “power-up” card for 15 correct answers which allows them to win extra classroom-supply-type building materials (such as paperclips, tape, etc.) I could not believe it when students asked me to do more of these lessons, even with reading challenging primary sources! Here’s what’s included: Teacher instructions A primary-source Google Form that gives immediate feedback. Correct answers reveal a primary source summative phrase that students write on the 3x5 card which holds them completely accountable! Once the phrase is written on the card, it is ready to be used in a tower! Reproducible Power-Up cards This activity is both fun and skill-based! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Our World History Curriculum, including Ancient History lessons and Medieval History lessons, are key-concept based, focussing on the “big six” key concepts for social science, often referred to as GRAPES. By learning World History with key concepts as a filter, students will become familiar with the crucial attributes that have allowed ancient and medieval civilizations to prosper. Also, students will build a framework, scaffolding future learning with the key concepts that will be repeated throughout their academic careers. Each unit comes with notes, graphic organizers, and review worksheets that have the GRAPES key concepts in mind: G= Geography R= Religion A= Achievements P= Politics/Government/Leadership E= Economy S= Social Classes ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ❤️❤️❤️About Mr. and Mrs. P, the teachers behind Instructomania: We are a Middle School teacher duo with over 40 years of experience in the Middle School classroom!
