* Power Point Lesson
* Reading Assignment and Worksheet plus Bonus Page (Guided Reading)
Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's
This 27 page Primary Source Analysis and DBQ activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experience of women who joined the military in the United States during World War II. There are 20 primary sources and 2 DBQ prompts. After completing this resource, students will be able to determine what issues were important to society during this era and how women contributed to society. In addition, there are Document-Based Question prompts.
A Lesson Plan and other supplemental information is provided at the beginning of the resource. 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 work time will vary dependent on the aforementioned factors.
Also 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 in the packet include text excerpts, photographs and posters. 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. DBQ prompts are also provided. An Answer Key to all the questions, the HAPPY primary source analysis process, and the DBQ’s is 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. The link is included in the packet.
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 .
Power Point Presentation
This 12 slide presentation about women in the United States military in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II. The slides use engaging visuals including photographs and posters to convey the experiences on the home front. These visuals are primary sources that the instructor can use to further student understanding beyond textbook reading. This slide presentation is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. At the end of the presentation, there is a slide that provides annotations on the websites used to access the primary sources which are featured throughout the presentation. This presentation will deepen student understanding about an experience that shaped a nation.
A digital assessment in Easel is provided for teachers to measure student understanding, retention and analysis of the material.
If you would like the PowerPoint version of this presentation, you may contact me after purchase at the email provided on the last slide or at christa@historyprims.com.
Reading Assignment
This short four-page close reading and worksheet activity provides an overview of how women participated in the military during World War II. It covers nurses and the women who supported the other branches of the military: the Women Army Corps (WAC), the WAVES (Navy), SPARS (Coast Guard), Marines and WASPs. 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 or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.
A Speech Bubble Bonus Activity page is also included! See the Preview to see the Bonus Activity.
Students will become more knowledge about the contributions of women during World War II and consider how and why there was resistance to their involvement in the military.

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.

Australian Civil Rights History, Gallery Walk for aboriginal Rights Activity
By Yugen Learning
This no-prep Australian Civil Rights Gallery Walk is perfect for exploring Aboriginal rights and can also be used as an emergency sub plan. Students will engage with key moments in Indigenous rights history, including the 1967 Referendum, the Mabo Decision, and the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Through interactive stations, students will analyze historical events and reflect on their significance, fostering critical thinking and empathy in the classroom.
Product Purpose and Benefits:
This lesson helps students develop a deeper understanding of the Australian civil rights movement, focusing on the ongoing struggles for Indigenous rights. Through interactive activities, students are encouraged to think critically and engage with historical sources in a dynamic, hands-on way.
Key Features of the Resource:
Gallery Walk format: Interactive stations on key civil rights events.
Worksheets for note-taking and analysis during the gallery walk.
PowerPoint presentation to introduce the Gallery Walk and key civil rights moments.
Suitable for both middle and high school students and easy to use as a sub plan.
Why This Resource Stands Out:
This resource promotes critical thinking and active engagement with history. The Gallery Walk method makes learning about civil rights in Australia an immersive experience, encouraging students to explore complex issues in a relatable way.

Not only are these geography warm-up activity bell ringers for the beginning of class great transitions to start class and get students mentally ready for class, but it's also a great way to work in time for state test prep activities without all the extra work**.** Many of the social studies test questions require students to read, examine, and analyze maps, charts, graphs, etc. I have used bell ringers for years and I have seen an increase in students' abilities to read maps, graphs, and charts. It's worth your time and theirs!
This second set of bell ringers asks students to use their class atlases to read maps, graphs, and charts such as map projections, climate maps, time zone maps, population pyramids, and more. Although they are specified for the first six weeks, they can be used at any time throughout the year. The atlas used for reference is the Rand McNally 6th Edition found on Amazon for $15 found here. But many atlases can be used and are more affordable here. If you use another atlas, simply modify each slide to reference the map or page in the atlas you are using. The questions can remain the same.
THESE CAN BE USED WITH THE GEOJOURNAL TEMPLATE FOUND HERE.
Many educators struggle with the task of figuring out how to start class each day or how to transition from concept to concept. Due to thenature of switching class to class, students often struggle to mentally prepare to transition to a different subject. A popular solution to these problems is the idea of the beginning of the class warm-up bellringers. These start-of-class activities benefit both students and teachers.
A bell ringer, often referred to as a warm-up activity or a do-now, is a short exercise or prompt given to students at the beginning of class. These activities are designed to capture students' attention, activate prior knowledge, and set the tone for the rest of the lesson.
Note: Answers are in the presentation notes section within each slide.
☑ For secondary, middle school, and high school students☑Check out the preview to see what is included.
