I know you’ll love it too, with so many ways to play (whole group, small group, independent practice), an infinite amount of topics to choose from, and endless amounts of games to create, all for the price of a cup of coffee.

Who should buy this?

Buy this if you’re a creative teacher looking to increase engagement in your classroom and want to get students excited about learning! This resource is perfect for you if you know you don’t have the time to format, design, link, and animate a game board, but you want to quickly create customizable review games that align with what you’re teaching.  

Do not buy this product if you’re looking for a game that already has the questions created for you. If you’re looking for that, you may like one of these resources:

Do I need to have advanced PowerPoint skills to use this product?

NOPE! I’ve done the hard part on my end—no need to fret over formatting, linking, animating, and designing the game board. All you need to do is type the questions and answers in the text boxes on each slide. 

Can I sell the game I create with this template on TeachShare?

No, this product is for personal/classroom use only. You can create an endless number of games for yourself and your classroom, but you cannot resell the game using this template. 

A commercial use template is coming soon. Follow me to be the first to know when it is available! 

*********************************************************

WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play! 

I’ve even included a question planning template and step-by-step instructions to make the planning process even easier for you!

The options are endless. Create as many different games as you want and play them for years to come.

*******************************

▶️ 12 Editable Classroom Talk / Discussion Trackers (Data Collection)

This resource includes 12 different Accountable Talk / Classroom Talk Discussion Trackers (in different variations). Two of the Accountable Data Trackers are "student trackers" and titled “My Discussion Tracker” where students can keep track of their own participation during classroom talk. These trackers enable you to keep track of who's making:

  • Claims/Inferences
  • Supporting their Ideas with Evidence
  • Providing an Analysis or Explanation of their Claims/Inferences (Substance)
  • Volunteering their Ideas
  • Using Accountable Talk Stems
  • Engaging in Respectful Communication with Peers
  • Actively Listening
  • Making Connections
  • Building on Others’ Ideas
  • Not Contributing to Discussion
  • Not Using Accountable Talk Stems
  • Does Not Support Ideas with Evidence
  • Interrupting Others (as they speak)
  • Engaged in Side Activities
  • Lacking Substance

✅ Some trackers also provides you opportunities to jot down important key points that students have shared during discussion as well as some interventions needed to help them engage better in classroom talk.

✅ All this information can be tracked in these Classroom Talk / Accountable Talk Discussion Trackers. The data captured in these trackers can greatly help you provide the necessary interventions needed to support students in rigorous classroom talk. These trackers can also help you monitor their progress and have evidence of student learning. Your administrators will love you for this!

✅ Additionally, all 12 Discussion Trackers come in EDITABLE forms, so you can easily modify according to your needs and your students’ needs.

PLEASE NOTE: The editable trackers do not contain the same fonts, borders, and clipart images as in the PDF version due to copyright purposes and requirements made by other contributing clipart artists. However, you may add your own borders and images to the editable version as well as change the fonts to your own style. The trackers themselves in the editable version are the same as the PDF version. The PDF version contains all the visually appealing fonts, clipart graphics, and borders.

*******************************

▶️ 70 Rectangular Accountable Talk Stem Strips (5 strips for each of the 14 categories)

There are 5 rectangular Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Stem Strips for EACH category. Included are both COLORED and B&W Sentence Strips. These rectangular Accountable Talk Stem Strips provide students with access to five different option speech starters for each category.

How You Can Use the Stem Strips

✅ One great idea is to provide students with these rectangular stems and have them write their names on the back. During discussion, every time a student introduces/expresses his or her ideas using the sentence starter on the Accountable Talk Rectangular Stem Strip, they hand that stem strip to you. At the end of class, you will be able to see and take note of how many times each student used the stem starter during discussion when presenting ideas. (All you have to do is look at their names in the back). It's an AMAZING way to keep track of who’s using Accountable Talk during discussion and who isn’t, then provide intervention to ensure that students are using them. Students will also see that they are being held accountable for engaging in productive classroom talk using academic language!

✅ You can also display them on your bulletin boards so students can use them as a reference when engaging in productive, respectful talk!

*******************************

▶️ 32 Accountable Talk Speech Bubbles

This resource includes 32 Accountable Talk Speech Bubbles (Rainbow and B&W) that can be posted anywhere in the classroom where students can reference them during discussions. These Speech Bubbles will help students actively engage in meaningful, respectful discussion with their peers. They contain Accountable Talk discussion starters to encourage academic, productive, and respectful conversations between students. These will provide them with varied opportunities to practice, apply, and build "new" language proficiency.

*******************************

☆ Determining Importance

☆ Making Inferences

☆ Questioning

☆ Evaluating

☆ Predicting

☆ Visualizing

☆ Text-to-Self Connections

☆ Text-to-Text Connections

These bookmarks are a great way to inspire your students to read, have in a school library, use as classroom prizes or give to students just because!

You may:

  • Print and cut each one out (as there are four bookmarks on each sheet)
  • For long lasting use, photocopy onto card stock paper, or laminate them.
  • For personal touch you can also hole-punch the tops and tie a ribbon through!

*******************************

☆ Agreeing

☆ Disagreeing

☆ Using Evidence

☆ Adding On

☆ Questioning

☆ Predicting

☆ Inferring

Students can keep these sheets in their folders and have access to them where ever they go, especially at home. They can use these discussion starters in their writing and homework assignments as well!

▶️ 21 Discussion Note-Catcher Graphic Organizer

☆ 21 Discussion Note-Catcher Worksheets (WITH Graphics)

☆ 21 Discussion Note-Catcher Worksheets (WITHOUT Graphics)

☆ 2 Google Slide Links (for both variations)

These Discussion Note-Catcher Worksheets (Print and Digital) can increase students' interests and engagement during class discussions, debates, classroom talk, group talk, etc.! You can help maintain students' interests and focus by holding them accountable for actively listening and recording important discussion information . . . to later share during discussion. As students both discuss and record their ideas and answers, and listen and record others' ideas and answers, they can get different perspectives on a topic, organize their thinking, and feel more confident in contributing to their discussions.

These Discussion Note-Catcher Worksheets come in two variations:

✅ 21 Discussion Worksheets WITH Graphics

✅ 21 Discussion Worksheets WITHOUT Graphics

✅ BOTH Print and Digital

Digital Versions of both variations are included in case you facilitate your classes online/remotely!

▶️ 1 Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric / 3 Variations

This resource includes one Peer Evaluation Rubric in three variations - Same content. Editable versions are included, so you can modify in such a way that meets the needs of your students and instructional plans!

The Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric is meant for students to use and asses each other during Class Talk. Before beginning a discussion or debate, give each student a Peer Evaluation Rubric with another student’s name on it. (You can decide who will asses who, or you can just randomly write the names on Rubrics). Ask students to “secretly” observe and assess that student’s participation during the class discussion or debate. Students should not know who is assessing who so that evaluations of participation are fair. Throughout the discussion or debate, students will take meaningful notes of their classmates’ performances. At the end of the discussion or debate, give them 5 minutes to score the student whose name is on their Peer Evaluation Rubric. Finally, students can go up to the person they were observing and hand them the rubric. At the very end, the teacher collects the rubrics for review. This has worked so well for me! Students were always “on their toes." Students found it so exciting to be observed by classmates and also observe others.

▶️ 3 Accountable Talk Reflection Sheets (Print and Digital)

Students' reflection of classroom talk helps them identify areas and skills that need both improvement and enrichment. These reflection sheets encourage students to reflect about their experiences during collaborative talk and develop an appreciation for particular skills involved. These reflection sheets are student-friendly making it feasible for students of all levels to think and write about their overall participation in a collaborative learning environment. Reflection sheets contain images, sentence starters, and questions to really help students think about their learning. They are especially student-friendly for SPED and ELL students!

*****************************************************************************************

Introducing research techniques when preparing for a speech has never been easier! This lesson guides students through a step-by-step process of understanding how to research their topics, determine which resources are appropriate, and prepare accordingly. When a high school student begins a public speaking unit, it is quite often the first time he or she has been required to speak in public, other than the basic Show and Tell in elementary school.

Therefore, it is important to make sure the students become familiar with the basics of how to stand, speak, move, and make eye contact during any type of public speaking situation. This lesson is designed to help the students with multiple aspects of research, so they can prepare their presentation accordingly.

The slide show, and worksheets allow students to practice and develop their public speaking skills. The worksheets reinforce guided note-taking techniques when used in conjunction with the slide show. The detailed lesson plans make implementing public speaking, speech and debate curriculum easy for teachers.

These no-prep lessons are adaptable for in-class instruction, distance learning, or independent student work. The PowerPoints can also be presented as whole class instruction or assigned for students to complete at home.

All materials are available in both Google Drive™ and print formats, ensuring easy access for all students.

Welcome to an enchanting world of drama activities designed to captivate and inspire your middle school or high school students! This engaging bundle features ten thought-provoking scenarios rooted in classic fairy tales, encouraging students to explore themes of identity, decision-making, and self-discovery. From Cinderella's modern twist to Snow White navigating the realms of social media, each scenario invites students into a realm of creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative learning. With rich character dilemmas, these activities offer a unique blend of dramatic arts, moral exploration, and language arts, and challenge students to analyze, interpret, and perform in a manner that's both entertaining and educational. Unlock the magic of drama in your classroom as students delve into timeless tales with a contemporary twist, fostering a love for storytelling, character development, and meaningful discussions.

The group will then figure out a solution to the dilemma and will write a short script to show their resolution. After the group has resolved the dilemma, each character will have an opportunity to reflect on how their character feels about the outcome. Don't worry I've included some rubrics that you can use for each section too and some worksheets to help guide student thinking.

Civil War Women Unit Bundle: DBQs, Reading Worksheet and PPT Lesson * APUSH

By Christa Nonnemaker

This Teaching Bundle contains the following items:
* PowerPoint Presentation
* Reading Assignment and Worksheet
* DBQ's and Primary Sources

Perfect for Veteran's Day!

PowerPoint Presentation

This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation explores the experiences and contributions of women during the Civil War. It is an ideal lesson for the Civil War period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight women’s changing roles due to industrialization. It highlights the different experiences based on social classes as well as work experiences and early organizational efforts.

The PowerPoint slides are available both as PPT and PDF. Check the Bonus section for the additional file.

There is also an Easel Assessment. For Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is a valuable digital tool.

Reading Assignment and Worksheet

This three-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women during the Civil War. Students will learn about the varied experiences of women, especially based on region, socio-economic status and cultural background.

Students can read this on their own in class, as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.
Reading Assignment - 2 pages
Worksheet - 1 page

The worksheet is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.

Primary Source Analysis and DBQs

This 20 page DBQ and Primary Source Analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into women’s experiences and contributions during the Civil War. In addition, there are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs) available for students to complete.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include speeches, essays, a declaration and cartoons. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and APUSH students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers, college students or independent learners who want to learn more. Teachers can assign just a few sources to analyze or the entire packet. Student time will vary.

There is also an Easel Activity which allows students to answer the questions at the end of each primary source online. For homework purposes, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is an especially valuable digital option.

This is part of the Women in American History Series which includes PowerPoint lessons as well as Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Primary Source Analysis and DBQs and Activities for other eras. Teaching units listed below with links but resources available individually as well.

Teaching Unit: World War II
Teaching Unit: World War II Home Front

The Great Gatsby SLIDESHOW LECTURE | A 9-page Lecture to Accompany the Slideshow

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

This EDITABLE lecture was created to accopany a pre-reading slideshow on the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the culture of 1920s America. What you'll get is an 9-page lecture created to accompany a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation called "The Road to Gatsby: A Slideshow on F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Roaring Twenties."

Whether or not you choose to purchase the 9-page lecture, the actual SLIDESHOW can be downloaded for FREE by clicking HERE.

Here's a quick glimpse into each of the four sections featured in the slideshow:

• Part I. The Artist as a Young Man: This section features photographs of Fitzgerald from his childhood in Minnesota, his college years at Princeton, his military training at Camp Sheridan, and his romantic courtship of Zelda Sayre in Montgomery, Alabama. Your students will be fascinated by the parallels between Fitzgerald's life and Jay Gatsby's upbringing, military training, and romantic life. After all, it is only because Gatsby is wearing his military uniform — which erases the signs of his class status — that he can get close to Daisy Faye! (13 slides)

• Part II. New York in the Artistic Imagination: This section features photographs and paintings of the rapidly changing skyline of New York in the 1920s. Photographs by Alfred Stiegliz reveal how 5-story brownstones were replaced by 50-story skyscrapers. Paintings by Georgia O'Keefe and Howard Thain reveal how the invention of electric lights imbued the cityscape with color and romantic allure. (7 slides)

• Part III. The Characters as Readers: This section will not only prepare students to catch the literary allusions in The Great Gatsby but will get students thinking about what the books that various characters are reading might reveal about their personalities. What does his interest in Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches novels reveal about the character of Jay Gatsby? What does his interest in Lothrop Stoddard's The Rising Tide of Color reveal about the racist and xenophobic views of Tom Buchanan? (7 slides)

• Part IV. Drafting The Great Gatsby: This section features photographs of the mansions and parties that Scott and Zelda attended on Long Island in 1923. It also features Fitzgerald's handwritten drafts of the first and last pages of his novel, a list of the six titles that Fitzgerald rejected (plus the title he actually preferred but requested after the book had gone to print), and the painting by Fancis Cugat that Fitzgerald selected for the cover of The Great Gatsby. (12 slides)

This slideshow will come to you in a 41-slide EDITABLE PowerPoint presentation which you can customize to the needs of your students!

Again, this 9-page EDITABLE lecture can be purchased for $1.99. The lecture was created to accompany a 41-slide EDITABLE slideshow that can be downloaded for FREE by clicking HERE. (Sellers are only able to upload one document per TeachShare product, so I've had to upload the lecture under a separate product listing. Apologies in advance for the inconvenience). As a bonus for purchasing the lecture, you'll also get a Spotify playlist of the songs played at parties in The Great Gatsby.

Thank you for choosing “Rigorous Resources”!!

Happy teaching!

Adam Jernigan, Ph.D.

Note: The lecture and slideshow are also included in my Gatsby MEGA-Bundle. The bundle contains everything you'll need to deliver amazing and comprehensive lessons on Fitzgerald's novel: over 40 slides and over 240 pages of content-rich handouts and activities. If you've already purchased the bundle, you don't need to purchase the slideshow. Thanks!

Ask students to individually jot down their inferences about what they think might be happening in the image.

Encourage them to consider details such as clothing, setting, facial expressions, and any other relevant visual cues.

Partner Discussion:

Pair up students and have them share their individual inferences with their partners.

Prompt partners to discuss and compare their interpretations, encouraging them to consider different perspectives.

Bring the class back together and facilitate a collaborative discussion.

Select a few pairs to share their inferences with the entire class.

Encourage students to consider diverse interpretations and discuss any common themes or differences in their observations.

After the collaborative discussion, provide some historical context or information about the image.

Discuss how the actual events align or differ from the students' inferences.

Critical Thinking Skills:

Analyzing historical images promotes critical thinking as students must observe details, make connections, and draw conclusions.

Making inferences based on visual cues enhances students' ability to interpret information and think beyond the surface.

Collaborative Learning:

Partner and class discussions foster collaborative learning, allowing students to share and refine their ideas through dialogue.
