90 Second Social Studies American Constitutional Amendments

By The Magical Avocado

This resource is a template for a 90 Second Social Studies assignment that includes 27 ready to edit slides on the American Amendments

What is a 90 Second Social Studies Assignment?

90 Second Social Studies Assignments introduce students to a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time. The 90 second time limit serves as both a way to keep students on task, and to promote the idea of summarizing key details. 90 Second Social Studies Assignments can cover concepts, historical figures, landmarks, and events. 

Why does this assignment use Google Slides?

One of the issues with student presentations is the transition time between student presenters. When the presentations are all on the same google slide, transitions become seamless. Google Slides also enables students to work simultaneously on the assignment, and for teachers to observe edits and work in real time.

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Your students can learn about its construction, history, and significance in global trade. **President Theodore Roosevelt **spent $365 million in the early 1900s to build the canal that would make history!

Not only is it educational, but it's also a great way to spark curiosity and interest in geography and world history.

Women in the 1920s: Unit Resource * PPT * Worksheet * DBQ's * APUSH/US

By Christa Nonnemaker

Women during the 1920s: 1920-1929 Unit Resource includes:

* Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

* Power Point Lesson

* Reading Assignment and Worksheet (Guided Reading)

Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

This 21-page Primary Source Analysis with DBQ's resource with 24 primary sources plus two DBQ prompts gives students a chance to delve deeper into the women's changing roles and opportunities in society, along with the challenges that they faced. The first two pages includes an Overview, Notes on Primary Sources and Teaching Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents that shed light on the increasing division between modern and traditional values, changing work and educational opportunities as well as cultural and artistic shifts.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Primary sources include letters, photos, reports, newspaper articles and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

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. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source.

Two DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet.

A separate PowerPoint presentation on How to Integrate Sources for a DBQ is included in the Zip file. There is also a YouTube video that provides narration for the slides.

Reading Assignment

This 6-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the developments in the 1920s and how they impacted women. It covers the time period from 1920 through 1929. Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. As a close reading activity, it is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with comprehension questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key. This resource helps students with close reading and critical thinking.

Reading Assignment - 2 pages

Worksheet - 2 pages
Answer Key - 1 page

Power Point Presentation

This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation covers women's experiences during the 1920s. It is an ideal lesson as a supplement to United States History 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 how some women pursued new opportunities while others continued to champion traditional pathways. Slides also look at various experiences of different cultural and socio-economic groups.

Complete 6-Lesson Transatlantic Slave Trade Unit: Worksheets, Activities, Assess

By Yugen Learning

This comprehensive 6-lesson unit on the Transatlantic Slave Trade is perfect for middle and high school History classes. The unit includes whether for daily lessons or as an emergency sub plans, PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, and hands-on activities that cover everything from the Triangular Trade to the abolition of the slave trade. Each lesson features engaging tasks like mapping activities, source analysis, and graphing resistance actions. The final lesson culminates with an assessment that asks students to reflect on who should take credit for the abolition of the slave trade. Ideal for use as part of a full unit or for emergency sub plans, this resource aligns with Common Core and TEKS standards.

Product Purpose and Benefits:

This unit provides students with a thorough understanding of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, from its origins and human impact to its eventual abolition. By engaging students in interactive activities, it fosters critical thinking, historical analysis, and empathy for the individuals impacted by this historical period.

Key Features of the Resource:

  • 6 fully prepared lessons covering the entire topic.
  • Interactive activities: mapping, timeline analysis, graphing resistance, and source analysis.
  • Editable PowerPoint presentations for each lesson, making it easy to teach or assign to a substitute.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

Each lesson encourages active student participation and integrates various teaching methods to ensure engagement. The unit covers both academic content and sensitive reflection, making it ideal for cross-curricular learning.

How to Use This Resource:

Teachers can use the lessons individually or as part of a complete unit. The assessments and activities make it suitable for both in-person and online teaching.

Call to Action:

Download this complete unit today to enrich your students' understanding of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its significance in world history.

Curriculum Standards:

  • Common Core Standards: RH.9-10.1, RH.9-10.2, WHST.9-10.9

90 Second Social Studies Famous American Women

By The Magical Avocado

Women's History IS American History! This ready to edit slide presentation has 35 slides highlighting famous American Women. Using during Women's History Month, as daily bellwork, student projects, learning about various times in history, and more!

What is a 90 Second Social Studies Assignment?

90 Second Social Studies Assignments introduce students to a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time. The 90 second time limit serves as both a way to keep students on task, and to promote the idea of summarizing key details. 90 Second Social Studies Assignments can cover concepts, historical figures, landmarks, and events. 

Why does this assignment use Google Slides?

One of the issues with student presentations is the transition time between student presenters. When the presentations are all on the same google slide, transitions become seamless. Google Slides also enables students to work simultaneously on the assignment, and for teachers to observe edits and work in real time.
