NEW! Let's Map It! Maps & Projections Interactive Notebook, Includes PowerPoint

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Students will become familiar with 11 maps and 4 map projections. This is an interactive notebook activity that students can use throughout the year to refer to. It is suggested that students complete 3-4 per class period.

This is more than simply reading the maps, but asking questions that will have students become familiar with and be able to recognize and make connections. This lesson asks connection questions such as: What does the word "plat" mean? What do you think this is called a plat map? What does this map use to communicate information? Why would this map be referred to as a locator map?

If you wish, you could modify this lesson to be a carousel activity instead of an interactive notebook activity, placing the maps around the room and having students move from one station to the next. Modify to meet your students needs.

China: One Question, Five Generational Perspectives

By Mark Holmes

“China: One Question, Five Generational Perspectives” is a set of resources delving into the changing politics of the Chinese leadership over a seventy year period. This resource contains five files:

Google Slides (31 slides)

Highlighting the background and achievement of five generational Chinese leaders; Mao Zedong, Deng Xiao Ping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping.

  • Part 1 gives a summary and major achievements of each 
  • Part 2 Major differences, developments, and contradictions between generational leadership
  • Part 3 looks at ten major changes from Mao to Xi and also ten things that have changed very little over the last 70 years.

Google Doc (12 pages)

The purpose of the document is to provide comparative insights on various questions as if answered by five significant Chinese leaders: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping at the time of their leadership. Each response embodies the philosophies and policies prevalent during each leader's tenure.

The responses to the 10 questions posed have been generated using AI. This particular bot was prompted to:

  1. Develop and present unique responses to each question asked, with each response reflecting the distinct leadership style and era of the specified Chinese leader.
  2. Maintain historical accuracy and incorporate relevant ideologies and key events that would influence each leader's answer.

The questions asked were as follows;

  1. What is your primary objective for China's national development and what strategies do you employ to achieve it?
  2. How do you define the role and power of the Chinese Communist Party in governing the country, and how does this shape your approach to political reforms?
  3. What is your assessment of China's relationship with the United States, and how do you seek to manage this critical bilateral tie?
  4. How do you plan to address the growing socioeconomic disparities within China, particularly between urban and rural areas, and among different regions?
  5. What is your vision for strengthening China's international influence and global standing, and what specific foreign policy tools do you utilize?
  6. How do you balance the imperatives of economic growth and modernization with the imperative of maintaining social stability and ideological control?
  7. What is your stance on the role of individual rights, civil liberties, and pluralism within the Chinese political and social framework?
  8. How do you seek to promote traditional Chinese culture and values on the global stage, and what is the relationship between this and your nationalist agenda?
  9. What are your key strategies for addressing China's environmental degradation and ensuring sustainable development for the future?
  10. How do you envision the evolution of China's relationship with its ethnic minority populations, particularly in regions like Xinjiang and Tibet?

This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

  • Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.

Ancient Greece Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes ancient Greece in regard to their culture, government and Alexander the Great which is studied in the 6th grade curriculum under the following standards:

  • 6.5 As complex societies and civilizations change over time, their political and economic structures evolve. A golden age may be indicated when there is an extended period of time that is peaceful, prosperous, and demonstrates great cultural achievements.
  • 6.5a Geographic factors influence the development of classical civilizations and their political structures.
  • 6.5b Political structures were developed to establish order, to create and enforce laws, and to enable decision making.

This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as Alexander the Great and conquer new lands across Africa, Europe, and Asia, just as Alexander did over 2,000 years ago; failure will result in them "perishing", unable to overcome the rugged terrain and powerful enemies that stand in your way. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #6. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have successfully conquered new lands over various continents!

This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!
