This Cold War project for US History has students analyze 8 political cartoons from the 1950's-1960's. Each deals with Red Scare hysteria, McCarthyism, the HUAC, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Students must determine the subject of each cartoon, describe the action taking place, and analyze the cartoonist's message. Each cartoon does an amazing job of simplifying complex issues and really getting to the heart of how the Red Scare affected America. This is fantastic as an activity for students to complete in-class in small groups, pairs, or individually through stations, at group tables, or at student desks. An editable Google Doc version of the activity and complete answer key are both included for your convenience. You can "Like" my page on Facebook for updates, giveaways, links and more! Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm very sorry for my absence from blogging. I am right in the middle of finishing up 9 weeks of maternity sub plans!! (I only get 6 weeks of maternity, but because my 1st baby surprised us 3 weeks early, I have to be ready just in case.) I have a bunch of stuff I want to share with you, so please accept my apology for being gone for so long. Follow along as I play a game of "Blogging Catch Up!" * * * * * Rachelle just shared her awesome Substitute Survival Kit (which I love and am totally using a couple of her pages!). I wish I had a substitute pack of sorts to share with you too, but everything I've made for my maternity plans is so specific to my class/school that I'm afraid nothing will be applicable to anyone else. I do have a cute binder cover that I can share with you, if you'd like. :) (Clip art by Thistlegirl Designs) * * * We just had our BIG state writing assessment. Let me tell you, my life for the past 2 months has revolved around persuasive writing. It is so nice to have the assesment over! I won't know my students' scores for a little while, but I am pretty confident that they ROCKED it! I do want to share some Persuasive Writing stuff with you all, but I'm still putting some finishing touches on everything. In the meantime, have you ever heard of a TAP F? I never had until my new team member (thanks Kathy!) introduced me to it this year. It's basically a way to brainstorm your persuasive writing. You teach your kids how to make a TAP F and you train them to do it all on their own. After weeks of practice, your students can do ALL of this all by themselves. This is just an example of what one of my struggling writers produced. I was blown away! Here's the quick explanation of a TAP F: Have your students fold a blank piece of paper into thirds. They write the letters TAP F down the left hand side (T=Topic, A=Audience, P=Purpose and F=Format), they make a T chart for pros and cons on the right side, and the middle is for a mini outline of their paper. For the state assessment, I read the testing instructions, said they could begin, and my students got busy working on their TAP F's. It was amazing to see. The quality of the essays they produced was outstanding. I can't wait to see the results!! * * * For fun (and to reinforce synonyms) my class has been playing the Hink Pink game. They LOVE it! If you have a subscription to Super Teacher Worksheets, they have a bunch of different worksheets you can download. * * * As always, I'm behind in my social studies teaching. I am now just barely finishing the Revolutionary War. My students did this cute project where they wrote about the differences between the American and the British soldiers and drew a picture of each. Their work turned out so cute! Oops... sorry the above picture is so blurry... Here is a copy of this download for you. Since I'm sure you're all much farther along in your history teaching, I have also included a similar project where they compare Union and Conferderate soldiers from the Civil War. * * * In math, we just finished up our BIG fraction unit and are now moving on to Geometry. Since Geometry is so rich in vocabulary, I always give my students a blank vocabulary sheet that they can glue into their math journals to help keep track of all the new words we learn. Here's a copy, if you want one. * * * Well... We've been doing tons of other things in class too, but I have about a million things on my baby to-do list that need to get done. I promise to try to blog more in the near future. Oh, and please expect some darling pictures of my little cutie when she gets here! :) She should be here in 3-6 weeks! SO EXCITING!!

In this creative Cold War activity, students process what they have learned about 8 Cold War figures by hosting a "dinner party" to help ease Cold War tension. Your students will have to think critically about ideas that each shared in common and who would not get along and turn the dinner "frosty". Students make connections about leaders of democracies and communist countries and explain what each pair at the table will think about and discuss. This is an excellent activity to review a unit on the Cold War. It can easily be differentiated for advanced students to make complex connections or for lower-level learners to see simple similarities and differences. This includes two different types of dinner tables (round and long) to differentiate and provide varied choices. An answer key is not included because there are dozens of ways this can be completed correctly. It allows for a lot of creativity! New: Also now included is a digital Google Drive version of the activity that has students click on each person to learn more, then drag-and-drop them around a dinner table! This product is also available as part of a complete Cold War Unit Bundle by clicking here! Thank you for looking! You can "Like" my page on Facebook for updates, giveaways, links and more! Thanks!
We have been focusing on the 20th Century for Blaze's history lessons this year. We are currently learning about the Great Depression, but we spent quite a bit of time learning about World War 1. The causes of WW1: We read the following two novels: When Christmas Comes Again was about a young military telephone operator during the war. After the Dancing Days was about a girl dealing with the loss of a beloved uncle during the war and the injured and deformed soldiers who returned to the United States after the war. Blaze was particularly interested in aviation during WW1. We found a simple model of the Red Baron's plane that Blaze was able to assemble without help, at a local hobby shop. We watched two movies about German pilots, The Blue Max and The Red Baron, along with some short documentaries about WW1 planes on YouTube. We then focused our attention on trench warfare. We also watched War Horse. Blaze used a shoe box to make a diorama of a WW1 trench with American soldiers. The soldiers were paper dolls that were originally printed in 1918 and can be found here. We didn't use the paper stands for the dolls, but instead glued them onto 1-inch wooded blocks, so they wouldn't tip over so easily. To give the shoe box diorama a real "hole in the ground" look, Blaze painted the entire box with school glue and sprinkled it with dirt. After the glue was dry, I sprayed the whole thing with clear coat, so the dirt wouldn't fall off. The sandbags were made from Crayola Model Magic. The culmination of all of our WW1 studies was Blaze's display for the Tallahassee Homeschool Group's International (Social Studies) Fair. Here is a recipe for the donuts that were passed out by the Salvation Army to soldiers during WW1: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/sweet-bread/original-salvation-army-world-war-1-donut.html
