Geography: The Forgotten Pan American Highway of the Americas
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Most Americans don’t even know the Pan-American Highway exists.
The lesson begins with a short introductory PowerPoint presentation that gains students' interest in the highway. Students will work together in cooperative groups or individually to learn about the longest highway in the Western Hemisphere, that has ultimately been forgotten. They will trace the route through an interactive reading activity. Students will then work together to plan a road trip along the highway along the Pan American Highway, stopping at 14 different destinations along the route.
Starting in Alaska and stretching to Argentina, this is the Western Hemisphere’s longest highway. (Relative Location) Studying the Pan-American Highway in geography is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of the North and South American continents.
The Pan-American Highway spans over 19,000 miles. It is the longest road in the world. By examining the highway’s route, geographers gain insight into diverse landscapes, climates, and cultures. (Place: Physical Characteristics) This helps us appreciate the geographical features that shape the regions it traverses. It also reveals how human activities have influenced the environment. (Human-Environment Interaction)
Moreover, the Pan-American Highway plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce between countries in the Americas. (Movement of goods and services) It serves as a major transportation artery, connecting economies and promoting economic growth in the region. Studying the highway provides valuable insights into the patterns of trade and migration within the Americas. (Movement of people and ideas) It also uncovers the challenges and opportunities from its construction and maintenance. Understanding the highway’s significance in globalization and regional integration helps geographers. This is an amazing route to study running through North America, Central America, and South America.

Geography & Government Types: Hitler's Olympics of 1936 (Without PowerPoint)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Note: Because this is being purchased without the PowerPoint, your lesson will begin with the "Before and After: Agree or Disagree" Activity.
You can find the FULL VERSION of Hitler's Olympics here.
Following World War I, Germany was in economic, political, and physical ruins. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor and began his quiet quest against anyone who was not Arian. In 1931, Germany was given the option of hosting the 1936 Olympics. Hilter, under his Nazi German totalitarian dictatorship government system, wasn't sure it was a good idea until he was convinced that they could build the largest stadium to be seen at the Olympics and make Germany look as if it was not in ruin. He agreed! The 1936 Olympics were different from the Olympics in the past. It incorporated theatre, high-tech equipment for the games, and wonderful production with many rituals that would continue into the Olympic games after Hitler's Olympics.
Hitler kept the secret of his war against the Jews throughout the two weeks of the 1936 Olympics using propaganda to show the world how well Germany was doing; the world, however, had no idea what was in store for Germany and the Jews who lived within its borders.

Geography — Government Types: US History, Is The U.S. a Democracy or a Republic
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Is the United States a true democracy or a true republic or a mixture of both? This is a conceptual thinking lesson on government types and systems implemented to encourage students to develop their higher-level thinking skill sets. Students will gain an understanding of the similarities and differences between a Republic and a Democracy by working in cooperative groups to complete a comparison T-Chart. Based on their findings they will be asked to determine if the United States is a true democracy or a true republic. This can be challenging for students who have yet to develop high-level thinking strategies, but we as teachers must help them develop these skills by giving them opportunities to do so. The student will need to back up their decision with reason. It is suggested that teachers participate in students' learning process by rotating from group to group to check for understanding and provide assistance and redirection. This was used in a 7th-grade public school system but can be used at high-grade levels with success.
Conceptual teaching is based on taking a concept and going beyond the basic facts to develop a true understanding. Conceptual thinking may be challenging for some students; therefore, as the instructor you may need to provide individual guidance, whether students are working individually or in teams. Learners will strengthen their conceptual thinking skills the more they are encouraged to use these skills. With this lesson, I suggest students work in teams so they can learn from one another.

Europe Geography — The 15 Most Influential People in European History
By Geography & Math Made Easy
OBJECTIVE:
o Students will become familiar with influential people in European history.
o Students will explore the cause and effects of the identified individuals on Europe.
o Students will, as a group, present their findings to the class on each individual assigned character.
o Students will evaluate and determine which 15 characters were the most influential in European history.
MATERIALS:
o Character cards, scissors, and laminate.
o 5 Influential Individuals of Europe Activity Sheet
o Classroom board and painting tape
o Document camera/projector
o Human European Bingo Game
o Bingo pieces.
PREPARATION:
o Laminate and cut out the character cards so they can be used again, from one year to the next. This will also avoid the cards getting torn when placed on the board at the end of the lesson during the presentations.
o Reproduce the 5 Influential Individuals of Europe, one per student.
o On the board create two columns: Highly Influential and the other Influential.
INTRODUCTION: (20 MINUTES)
Play Human European Bingo. Give each student a bingo card. Allow students 10 minutes to move around the room gathering names of people who are somehow related to Europe, present or past from their classmates. Once their sheet is filled with one name per box, the student will return to his/her seat. Begin with the nearest person and allow him or her to name an individual. Anyone in the room who has that name can place a dauber/coin on that square. The game is played until someone calls European Bingo! If time allows, you may play again. This game will get student warmed up and thinking about those individuals who influenced Europe. If students seem, unknowledgeable and unfamiliar with the topic, allow them to access resources—books, Internet, etc.— during the game.
PROCEDURE: (30-40 MINUTES)
Place the character cards in a bag. Pass the bag around the room, allowing each group to choose five cards from the bag. Students will work in groups to find out as much as they can about the influences each individual had/has on Europe. Students will fill in the 5 Influential Individuals of Europe Activity Sheet.
CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)
Have students present their findings. Set up the document camera/projector. Students will place their character card on the camera/projector so the audience can have a visual of the individual they are talking about.
Students will, within their groups, present their findings. On the board there will be two columns: Highly Influential and Influential. Once students have presented their findings and opinions, they will place the card on the board, using painter’s tape (comes off more easily), under one of the columns; Highly influential or Influential.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY: (20 minutes)
The class will work together to determine which names listed under the 15 Most Influential will remain. These are the individuals they will be tested on.
This will allow students to have choices within their studies gives students autonomy of their learning.
