Today in History Daily Warm-Up - August
By José Guzmán
Today in History Daily Warm-Up Instructions:
Image Observation:
Display a historical image related to the day's date or a significant event in history.
Instruct students to carefully observe the details in the image without providing any background information.
Individual Inference:
Ask students to individually jot down their inferences about what they think might be happening in the image.
Encourage them to consider details such as clothing, setting, facial expressions, and any other relevant visual cues.
Partner Discussion:
Pair up students and have them share their individual inferences with their partners.
Prompt partners to discuss and compare their interpretations, encouraging them to consider different perspectives.
Collaborative Inference:
Bring the class back together and facilitate a collaborative discussion.
Select a few pairs to share their inferences with the entire class.
Encourage students to consider diverse interpretations and discuss any common themes or differences in their observations.
Historical Context:
After the collaborative discussion, provide some historical context or information about the image.
Discuss how the actual events align or differ from the students' inferences.
Benefits for Students:
Critical Thinking Skills:
Analyzing historical images promotes critical thinking as students must observe details, make connections, and draw conclusions.
Inference and Interpretation:
Making inferences based on visual cues enhances students' ability to interpret information and think beyond the surface.
Collaborative Learning:
Partner and class discussions foster collaborative learning, allowing students to share and refine their ideas through dialogue.
Engagement with History:
Connecting historical events to visual stimuli makes history more tangible and relatable for students, increasing their interest and engagement.
Communication Skills:
Sharing inferences with partners and the class improves communication skills and helps students articulate their thoughts effectively.
Diverse Perspectives:
Encouraging students to consider different interpretations promotes an appreciation for diverse perspectives and helps them understand that history can be viewed from various angles.
Contextual Learning:
Providing historical context after the activity solidifies students' understanding, reinforcing the connection between visual stimuli and historical events.
By incorporating this activity into the daily warm-up routine, students can develop a deeper appreciation for history, enhance their analytical skills, and actively engage with the learning process.

NEW! Geography — Regions Simplified: Functional Formal Perceptual (PowerPoint)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Please Note: The instructor/teacher will need to know and understand the concept of REGIONS as this is a concept difficult for young brains to grasp. Even though we simplify it for students, we will need to be ready to verbally or visually explain the concept. Not all students are ready for this high-level concept. This lesson simplifies it as much as possible, but the concept, no matter how simplified, still requires high-level thinking skills and teacher guidance. It takes practice to identify the formal, functional, and perceptual regions. If the instructor/teacher doesn't understand regions, it will be difficult to instruct. This lesson is much better than our textbooks provide.
Help our students understand the complicated concept of "regions."
I often found when I was teaching the 5 Geographical Themes, students grasp location, place, human-environment interaction & movement (ideas, people, goods), but they struggle with regions: formal, functional, and perceptual.
What is the difference between a formal, functional, and perceptual region?
What is a nodal point? How can there be regions that cannot be measured and are specifically based on feelings and perceptions? Can all regions be found on a map? Do they always have a clearly defined boundary?
This PowerPoint provides 7 scenarios in which students are required to decipher whether it is a formal, functional, or perceptual region. You can use it as an introduction or review. You may implement this in different ways.

NEW! GEOGRAPHY: WORLD RELIGIONS PHOTO GALLERY WALK | WORLD RELIGION
By Geography & Math Made Easy
A photo gallery walk is a fun and engaging way to get your student actively involved in the learning process. Students will work together in teams or cooperative groups and will travel through 12 picture galleries learning about the different world religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism among other religions. This is a great activity for an introductory lesson or for a reinforcement activity!
Covers the traditions and practices of the world’s most influential religions of the world: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islamism, Taoism, Animism, Shintoism, Monotheism, Polytheism & non-religions: Atheism, Agnosticism. The lesson teaches the difference between polytheistic and monotheistic religions.
OBJECTIVE:
MATERIALS:
INCLUDES:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
World religions can be a sensitive topic. When presenting the religions and discussing them do not show any bias’ toward one religion. Remain neutral so as not to lean to accept one religion over the other. This is a factual lesson that helps students understand culture throughout the world as many cultural practices are relative to a specific religion within the region. You may have some parents who prefer their child to not be taught this within the classroom setting. If your district has a policy where parents can request their child not attend class during a sensitive topic, then send out a letter to all parents communicating that your class is starting a unit on world religions and have them sign it to opt-out or opt-in. Follow your district’s guidelines.
