Design & Create a Board Game | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
What middle schooler isn't excited by playing games as a part of their lesson? This activity takes their love of games to a new level as they work with a team to create a new board game, test them for "fun appeal" by playing and critiquing others' games and then making the necessary modifications to complete an awesome final product.
Created for middle schoolers, this project based learning lesson is a great addition to technology classes that teach programming, phone app creation and other game design as a way for students to really focus on what makes a game addictive.
Lesson includes teacher resources, including web links, design ideas and guides, student expectations and rubric, and student worksheets. This lesson can be completed entirely OFF computers, without computer access for students, making it great for those days you have to give up your technology lab for standardized testing.
This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
My 7th and 8th graders loved this and I hope yours will too!

Health/ELA - Media and Self Esteem
By Amanda G
How does media effect one's self esteem?
This package contains 6 lessons and a culminating task that will address this topic.
The package is meant to be taught over at least five lessons. With discussion, each page should easily fill a 45- to 60-minute lesson block.
Lessons include:
- definitions and discussion
- Influence of the Media
- self esteem and music videos
- what happens when a "beauty" company helps people see their beauty?
- evolution of an advertisement (print media/photoshopping)
- overcoming stereotypes and negative comments
- Think about how awesome you are
- Hand of friendship (culminating task)
There is currently no final assessment piece included in this package.
Each lesson, except the last, should be started with a gratitude journal page. The idea behind this it to help students see that they have a lot to be grateful for, regardless of what the media may portray to them. The journal pages shouldn’t take anymore than 5 minutes, max. For photo copying purposes, the journal page is placed before the worksheet, for any given lesson.

Geography | Analysing and Interpreting Population Pyramids worksheet
By Yugen Learning
Analyzing and Interpreting Population Pyramids
In this no prep lesson is an activity for students learn to analyse and interpret the various types and shapes of population pyramids in a single activity.
Resources Included:
Australian Geography Curriculum link:
Represent data in a range of appropriate forms, for example climate graphs, compound column graphs, population pyramids (ACHGS049)
Students will begin to see that certain features and shapes are often associated with particular population structures e.g. a wide base indicates a high birth rate, a narrow apex often indicates a high death rate, etc.
Within the lesson, students will be expected to apply this new knowledge and understanding by analyzing and interpreting a population pyramid from a range of countries.
Students also learn how variations in shape and size also relate to the dependency ratio (the amount of the population that is dependent on the working population) of a particular country. Students practice calculating and interpreting dependency ratio through a number of examples.
These slides can also be printed and displayed within the classroom or given to students as review notes.
