Looking for a Government class lesson plan?

If you are teaching your government class about political parties here is a week-long unit!

I created and used this powerpoint in the 12th grade class I taught in the Dominican Republic. They were learning about U.S. government using Magruder’s American Government textbook. This is from chapter 5. The powerpoint includes the lecture slides, practice quizzes after each section, anticipatory sets, and a group project. My students loved the group project, they were very creative! Check out their work at the link below.
 You can also download the test I created to be given after this unit is taught.

1st Day = Success! Tomorrow: Mapping World Religions

Teaching about ancient religions today was a success! I think that the students enjoyed the lesson, they had some great questions. I can’t wait to see their drawings and read their papers about their Egyptian tombs. Check out yesterday’s blog to see the PowerPoint, warm up, and assignment that we did today.

Tomorrow we will continue the history of religions unit by mapping out different religions. We will use this interactive map: http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind/history-of-religion.html to discuss where and how religions started and spread. Students will practice finding different locations using latitude and longitude as they plot important religious centers.

Monday in World History Classes…Ancient Religions

AncientReligion

Tomorrow is my first full day of teaching the World History classes. We will be learning about ancient religions including those of the Egyptians, Sumerians, and Persians. This will kick off our history of religion unit.

The lesson will include videos, lecture, and an art/writing project.

Visit the “Ancient Religion” link above to see the PowerPoint presentation including the videos and assignments. I welcome any feedback and suggestions!

The weekend went by too fast, but I’m excited to share this lesson with the students tomorrow. Wish me luck on my first day!
