January. Daily Slides. Version 2024. Free yearly updates! Fully editable! These daily warmups/bell ringers/bellwork/morning work activities are for any social studies course (American/U.S. history, world history, civics, government, etc.) and can be used every day of the month, no matter the topic for the day’s lesson! Each day includes important, interesting, and fun events that occurred each day of the month. They can be easily modified for any classroom! Ideal for homeschools and microschools! Provide student choice, with over 500 events included (10-30 per day). Many events come from 2018-present, making it an excellent current-events activity! Works with ANY social studies course! Events relate to U.S. history, world history, current events, economics, geography, European history, sociology, current events, humanities, government, etc. I use this activity every day, and it has made a huge impact on student learning. It has also positively impacted classroom management and helped me build a rapport with my students. I have more than 20 years of experience as a teacher. I started doing this activity in 2018. It has truly transformed my classroom. I teach both honors (gifted and talented) and general education classes, and it works equally well in both. Each member of my department uses this activity every day as well. Here are some comments from some of my students about this daily warm-up activity: “I like learning about what has happened recently and what happened on that day in the past. Plus it's really easy.” “I like how simple it is and it only takes like 5 minutes. I don't think this activity needs to be improved.” “I liked it. It was a great warm up. It was also funny sometimes which was fun. It also led to really fun conversations.” “I like it because we chose any event and write it down and at the same time were learning what’s happening over the world.” “I love it because it’s always fascinating learning about what’s going on in the world right now. I also like how the music matches with it. I love the conversations that it starts.” “I like this because it keeps us updated on what is going on in our society, it also reminds us of important or fun events that took place that day.” “I like this because you can learn about a whole bunch in just a couple minutes, and I've told my family about a couple of these slides.” How it helps with classroom management. Students crave structure. This daily activity is consistent. Students know what to do every day when they enter the room. It creates a quiet period at the beginning of class where students can prepare to learn and you can prepare to teach by taking attendance, assisting students who have been absent, checking on the substitute in the classroom next door, setting up your lesson materials, etc. Other warm-ups I've used in the past did not have the consistency I needed. I found that the warm-up activity was either too quick and simple (with students finishing too quickly and not having to think at all) or too complex with different requirements each day (with some students either giving up or needing help just to complete the activities). How it helps build a rapport with students. After giving students about five minutes to complete the activity, I have a discussion with students about some of the events. Sometimes I ask for volunteers to share. Sometimes I randomly choose them. Sometimes I point out a specific event, maybe because it relates to a current event or to something we are learning at the time. Some days I take only a minute or two do this, other days I take much longer. These discussions help you build a rapport with your students, especially early in the year. Includes links to Spotify playlists that relate to each day's PowerPoint. Each daily PowerPoint includes historical events that relate to music. There is a corresponding playlist for each day, with artists ranging from Beethoven to the Beatles to Taylor Swift. I play this music during passing periods and during the five minutes students are working on the warm-up. It's another way to build rapport with students and helps create an atmosphere in the classroom. Students really look forward to the music each day. These warm-ups promote higher-level thinking by requiring students to synthesize information, formulate an opinion, and ask relevant questions (inquiry). The different handout options allow you to have students decide which event is most interesting, most important, or most surprising, depending on your preference. There are also several additional handouts for special weeks (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's, last week of the year, etc.). Some events are from ancient history, others from the 20th century. Many of the events are recent, pulled from the headlines from 2019-2022. A template is included so that you can easily add additional events if you choose. Included in this ZIP file: 30 PowerPoint presentations that automatically advance and loop, one for each day from January 2 to January 31 (New Year's Day NOT included). Each daily presentation includes between 10 and 30 events that occurred on each date. (Included are instructions for how to easily modify for use as a Google Slides presentation.) PowerPoint/PDF with visual instructions for students to learn how to complete the activity. Detailed teacher instructions in WORD and PDF formats. 11 different options for student responses (each available in both Word and PDF formats and as Google Forms). Spotify playlist link for each day of the month. Check out the Learn with Mr. Louis website, and watch Learn with Mr. Louis on YouTube for weekly Today in History tips and sneak peeks!

Warm-Up: Afterlife Instruction Manual Project I'd like to begin today by giving you 10-15 minutes to work on your Afterlife Instruction Manual. This will be your last opportunity this week to work on this project in class. Don't forget that this project will be due this Friday, November 13. How Ancient Egyptians Lived With our overwhelming focus on the Egyptian pharaohs, their power and responsibilities, their individual personalities, their grand building projects, and their singular quest for immortality, we unfortunately tend to forget about the lives of the everyday people that made up this civilization. We shouldn't do that and we won't do that. As interesting as the life of Ramses II was, so too were the lives of the people that stood under him in Egypt's social class structure. And don't forget, without the labor of the working men and women of ancient Egypt, the pharaoh's power and authority would crumble. Today let's focus on some of their lives. Let's begin by reading an excerpt from your textbook below, which examines what life was like for some ordinary Egyptians. Think critically. Do you think the description above was representative of the lives of all "ordinary" Egyptians? Do you think all Egyptians were privilege to "festivals and banquets" and "wore eye paint and wigs"? Whose story is being left out? Are we receiving a comprehensive portrait of life in ancient Egypt or just a slice? What responsibility does our textbook have to truthfully tell the story of the lives of all members of Egyptian society? Comparing the Life of an Egyptian Nobleman with the Life of an Egyptian Farmer Noticeably absent from the textbook's description of the lives of ordinary Egyptians is a representation of the lives of Egyptian farmers, whose labor the entirety of Egyptian society was built upon. Without the work of farmers, there is not ancient Egypt Let's try to remedy that by taking a look at what the lives of Egyptian farmers may have been like and how their lives compare to those members of the wealthier classes. Explore the British Museum's take on life in ancient Egypt here, and then read side-by-side story here, which compares the life of wealthy ancient Egyptian nobleman's family with that of a farming family. Homework Complete your Afterlife Instruction Manual. This project is due on Friday, November 13.
Building on an ethnographic study of St. Michael-le-Belfrey Church in York, a recognized leader in charismatic renewal, mission, and evangelical innovation since the 1960s, this book explores how a persistent tradition of cultural engagement may generate growth, while at the same time bringing about significant changes in the structure and function of the evangelical congregation, and in the social construction of Christian identity itself. This is the first sociological study of St. Michael-le-Belfrey and the first to take seriously the question of how blazing the trail in terms of mission, worship, and fellowship influences the way in which congregations exist as Christian communities within the contemporary British context. \"\"Taking issue with theories which assume that Christianity has passively adapted to the conditions of late modernity, Guest presents a vivid account of a Christian community actively engaged in negotiating its place in contemporary society.\"\" --Linda Woodhead, Director AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Programme, Department of Religious Studies, Lancaster University \"\"Mathew Guest's book makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of contemporary Evangelicalism and helpfully dispels simplistic accounts of Evangelical beliefs and identities. Lucidly written and well-argued, Guest's book will be recommended reading for many years to come.\"\" --Gordon Lynch, Professor of Sociology of Religion, Birkbeck, University of London \"\"I welcome this book very warmly. . . . [T]he author is . . . clear, balanced, and insightful.\"\" --Gracie Davis, Professor of Sociology, University of Exeter \"\"Mathew Guest's clear, careful, and insightful study of one highly successful Evangelical church in York, and its innovative 'postmodern' offshoot, presents us with a microcosm of much that is happening in today's Church.\"\" --David Martin, from the Foreword Mathew Guest studied theology, religious studies, and sociology at the universities of Nottingham and Lancaster. He is now Lecturer in Theology and Society at Durham University, specializing in the sociological study of contemporary Christianity.

Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 60-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees. She is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots programme, and she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues. In April 2002, she was named a UN Messenger of Peace. Dr. Goodall is also honorary member of the World Future Council. As a child, as an alternative to a teddy bear, her father gave her a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee. Goodall has said her fondness for this figure started her early love of animals. Today, Jubilee still sits on Goodall's dresser in London. Without collegiate training directing her research, Goodall observed things that strict scientific doctrines may have overlooked. Instead of numbering the chimpanzees she observed, she gave them names such as Fifi and David Greybeard, and observed them to have unique and individual personalities, an unconventional idea at the time. She found that, it isn't only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought and emotions like joy and sorrow. Goodall is a vegetarian and advocates the diet for ethical, environmental, and health reasons. In The Inner World of Farm Animals, Goodall writes that farm animals are "far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent?" Goodall has also said: "Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat." Today, Goodall devotes virtually all of her time to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and the environment, travelling nearly 300 days a year. Goodall is also a board member for the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary outside of Africa, Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida.

The greatest problems facing humanity today are climate change, poverty, and the increasing separation between the rich and poor. The aim of this book is to examine the social constructions that have led to these breakdowns, and provide potential solutions that are based on a fundamental change in the structure of society and the values on which a new and better social system can be built. Unless we as a society set a drastically different course soon, human life as we know it will suffer greatly, perhaps even cease altogether. Excess consumption is becoming anti-social as the effects of global warming and increasing poverty become apparent. What, then, will form the new social values on which society replaces the present emphasis on work and material consumption that now prevail? This book's answer to that question is accomplishment and aesthetic consumption. This proposed refocused existence will necessitate a new economic order that provides access to a livelihood beyond the market system. This groundbreaking book will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, leisure studies, political science, and social work.

I’m going to be very honest. Slavery is heart-wrenching to teach, but I’m sure you already know that. If you have been a social studies teacher for any amount of time, you know that there are
Thousands of years ago, the first people to arrive on American soil traveled across a land bridge from Asia to what is now Alaska. Millions of people were already settled when Christopher Columbus "rediscovered" America in 1492. New about the "new" world soon spread, and more people arrived on American shores. The trans-atlantic journey was long and arduous, but by 1700, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch colonies had been established. This expansion exacted a toll, however, on the native people who were pushed off their land as well as African people who were forced into slavery. By the mid 1800's, so many people had immigrated to the United States that in 1892, an immigration office was opened on Ellis Island to count and document the new arrivals. By the early 1900's, laws were passed to limit the number of new arrivals. And yet, today, immigrants still come to America from countries worldwide, includingRussia, Haiti, and Cuba, insearch of a better way of life. The history of American immigration is one of determination and struggle, but not without pain. But for immigrants past and present, hope, the belief in a better life, and the allure of making a contribution to this nation prevails.

About the Book The most informed and meticulous study of the alluring paradoxes and extremes that characterize Brazilian culture. In The Brazilians, Page, author of the bestselling Peron, conjures a definitive portrait of "Brazilness" by distinguishing between the many opposing faces of Brazilian society. Book Synopsis A country warmly hospitable and surprisingly violent, physically beautiful, yet appallingly poor--these are the contrasts Joseph Page explores in The Brazilians, a monumental book on one of the most colorful and paradoxical places on earth.Once one of the strongest market economies in the world, Brazil now struggles to emerge from a deep economic and social crisis, the latest and deepest nose-dive in a giddy roller-coaster ride that Brazilians have experienced over the past three decades. Page examines Brazil in the context of this current crisis and the events leading up to it. In so doing, he reveals the unique character of the Brazilian people and how this national character has brought the country to where it is today--teetering on the verge of joining the First World, or plunging into unprecedented environmental calamity and social upheaval. Not since Luigi Barzini's The Italians has a society been so deeply and accurately portrayed. About the Author Joseph A. Page, a professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center, is the author of Perón, which was translated into Spanish and became a South American bestseller. He also wrote The Revolution That Never Was and Bitter Wages.
