This "What You Need to Know" is a great and fun culminating activity to use at the end of a study. This culminating activity can be used with any topic related to an event, historical character, or country study. It will require some higher-level thinking skills for use of chronological order.

Although this is written for social studies, it can also be used to help students review and determine the level of importance of information studied in other subjects and disciplines that require students to comprehend large amounts of information.

This lesson is designed for individual work but would work very well for cooperative groups or teams.

This resource includes TWO PACKETS:

★ 2 overview pages

★ 2 higher-level graphic organizers

★ 2 Google Slide links

Set #1: Great Depression and Of Mice and Men Graphic Organizer Packet

Students read two Common Lit articles and observe/analyze images related to the Great Depression and Migrant workers (Links to all images and articles are provided - actual articles are NOT included. only links).

Students will observe, read, analyze, and make evidence-based inferences related to the Great Depression and the lives of migrant workers. Students will then use these texts (articles and images) to make connections to the characters / events in the book Of Mice and Men. The graphic organizers require students to cite evidence from both the articles, images, and the book to support their analysis, conclusions, and observations.

✅ The two graphic organizers contain the same information, but one of them is differentiated for lower-level students.

✅ The differentiated version graphic organizer includes paraphrased, step-by-step instructions as well as examples of how to think about the information they observed in the images and read in the articles. These examples will increase their understanding of how to think about information and complete the graphic organizer appropriately.

Set #2: Great Depression, Dust Bowl and Migrant Workers Image Analysis Graphic Organizer Packet

These graphic organizers require students to analyze three images related to the Great Depression and Dust Bowl and draw evidence-based conclusions. The differentiated version graphic organizer includes scaffolding questions to help lower level students analyze the images and write about them. The graphic organizers also require students to cite evidence from the images to support their analysis/conclusions. The graphic organizers are visually appealing and eye catching!

These graphic organizers are excellent for Do Now, unit launch, groupwork, homework, independent work, and/or research activities. They can also be used to set a purpose for listening/watching video clips used to supplement lessons. It's a great tool to help build students' background/prior knowledge for upcoming units/topics related to the Great Depression and/or Dust Bowl.

These graphic organizers make a great addition to a lesson plan!
