1950s Consumer Sears Catalog Simulation

By Sarah Austin

The year is 1956. You & your partner have taken advantage of new economic conditions & purchased a suburban home. Upon moving to the suburbs, you find you need to fill your home with clothes & furniture. 

Use the Sears catalog provided to fill your home. The average monthly income in the USA in 1955 was $360. Let’s say you & your partner have been saving, and have a savings account of $600. The mortgage payment on your home is $60 per month, & let's say you use $40 per month for groceries. That leaves you with $500 to spend for the month!

Fill out the provided order sheet with the products you want to buy, and their prices. Do not spend more than $500, because then you will end up in debt! Beware–life events and circumstances happen, so adjust accordingly!

This Resource Includes:

  • Teacher Reference Guide
  • Google Slide Presentation
  • Sears Catalog Student Handout
  • Life Event Cards

The Smart Seating Chart - Never Write a Seating Chart Again!

By Blooming Through High School

How Does It Work?

It’s Magic!

Actually it’s all Made Using Excel Formulas and Cell References.

I HATE writing seating charts and I made these so I wouldn’t have to anymore.

But I didn’t stop there... I wanted a way to organize students more efficiently for checking work and giving feedback, as well as having a way to modify my seating chart based on my instructional needs, so I made all kinds of seating charts and used my knowledge of Excel to make this SMART. (How to instructions and videos are included!!)

What Can You Do With This?

  • Sort students by mastery to focus on a specific part of the classroom for intervention
  • Sort students by work speed to give feedback to students who may work more quickly, and give those students who may work slower more time to complete their assignment before having feedback.
  • Sort student translators with non-native speakers for assistance.
  • Add a column with #1 (and sort) to designate students who may be on the cusp of advancing .These students will be at the front of your check-ins during independent practice.
  • Quickly see what classifications students might have (Special Education, 504 plans, Emergent Bilinguals) so you can provide supplemental materials required by law or your school.
  • When you print this out, the Legend is not visible to students or to a substitute. Student information will not be shared outside of the circle it needs to stay in. (requires numbers or letters in the columns)
  • Change your seating chart instantly to adapt student seating based on instructional goals.
  • Use this column under the student's name: (HW/Late/Beh) to track homework submission, tardiness, and behavior - see trends on a weekly basis.
  • Use the column with 1 2 3 to track the student's mastery on a particular day OR how often you have checked in with them.
  • Best of all, you only need to copy and paste your student names to get started. Everything else will auto populate in the seating chart!

Research & Build a House - Architectural Styles & Creators | Distance Learning

By Innovations in Technology

In this lesson, students learn more about architecture as they research the history of different architectural styles, and learn about the creators of those designs. The lesson starts with a whole class Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (editable) to view the styles and start discussion. Next, students choose one of the styles to research further and create a presentation with that information. Optionally, these may be presented to the class. In the next part of the assignment, they design a house of their own (to scale) in the style they researched using Sketchup (a free CAD program that can be downloaded at: https://www.sketchup.com/ or used as an online tool). After completing the drawing, students build a model of their house to scale using chipboard, cardboard or other materials. Finally, students answer questions to reflect on their learning for this unit.

This lesson was designed for middle school (grades 6-8) but could be used in upper elementary grades or high school as well.

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.
