FEEDBACK
Teacher's Classmate (TpT Seller)
Overall, I liked the activity. In your instructions, you tell the students to use p. 138 to find the locations needed for the map, but that's not available to your customers. It would be helpful if you could include an answer key.

Hi, and thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I did leave the page number that students would reference as part of the file. The file in question, however, was uploaded as a Word doc. This allows users to make any adjustments regarding page numbers, points available, due date, etc. as needed.
I do have a completed copy of the map that I will be happy to upload.
Please feel free to peruse my other products.
And thanks again! :0)

This was a good homework assignment for my students to familiarize themselves with two important men of the Renaissance era and provides a good comparison of the two.

I used this map as an assesment. The students colored and labeled them before gluing them onto a painted blue paperplate which represented oceans (they also labeled the bodies of water).

DO NOT buy this! There are only FIVE slides and one of them is cluttered with pics, so you can't read the text!! Big, huge WASTE of time!!

Around the World in 180 Days (TpT Seller)
Wow! How very uncool of you. I am curious as to why you would complain that the presentation is only five slides when it CLEARLY states that in the product description.
Additionally, you claim that the pictures "clutter" the text. The custom animation that I placed on each slide directs the pictures to fade in and out with each click of either the space bar or a PPT remote. As such, whatever "clutter" you see will not be present when you actually run the presentation.
I would advise actually running through the presentation before you trash my work.

I will use it, but there was NOT an answer key. Of course I can do it and find the answers, but my time is taken up doing that. YOu really need to provide a KEY.
February 21, 2013
Around the World in 180 Days (TpT Seller)
Wow. The description did state that an answer key did not accompany the biography. Given an email address, I will be more than happy to provide one. However, I would imagine that YOU could think of a better way to request one.

I teach 5th grade. Could I adapt lessons for my age level?

Around the World in 180 Days (TpT Seller)
I think that would be great! Feel free to adjust vocabulary as you see fit. I would also consider allowing them to cut and paste pics rather than drawing. Let me know how it works out! :0)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
After teaching government and economics at the high school level for two years, it was definitely eye-opening to be placed in front of middle school students. But, ten years later, I am having a blast teaching US History and World History!
MY TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style focuses a GREAT DEAL on visuals. Most of the information presented in class is delivered via PowerPoint, with opportunities for students to work both individually and in groups. My US History curriculum emphasizes the interpretation of various political cartoons covering early American history. Both of my US History and World History curriculums lean heavily on projects, both group and individual.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
State Finalist, History Day California
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Single-Subject teaching credential (CLAD) from California Lutheran University. Masters in Educational Administration from Cal State, Los Angeles.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
When not slaving away making adjustments to my curriculum, I love spending time with "the girls," my huskies Sasha and Abbigail. Thelma and Louise got nothin' on them.
