Overall, great lesson. It was very easy to incorporate into my class. I wish there was some reference to the Iran-Contra Affair.

I can't see the videos in the powerpoint presentation. I don't know if this is because I have a Mac...?
April 23, 2013

You will either have to insert the videos again or close the PP when you want to play the videos. You can also contact the TpT support staff. They are very helpful.

Let me know if you have any questions setting up the centers. I usually have them all set up before the students enter the room. Also, before you have the students rotate, make sure they prepare the center for the next group. Have fun!

This was fabulous. I work in a juvenile detention facility and, as you can imagine, I had to get permission for the students to get up and walk around (which I got). This was such a positive way to end African American history month! The students LOVED the music and I got so many great comments that we now have the comments posted in the hallway near our small library. This is a wonderful project to get students to express themselves and to give them pride in their heritage.

Hello,
I just a purchased this and the powerpoint will not open and 2 of the 3 videos will not open either. The lecture worksheet looks great, just wish I could open the powerpoint to go along with it. Thanks

kjgus90 re: World War I on the Home Front: Lecture & Storybook (U.S. History)
I bought your World War I on the Home Front: Lecture and Storybook. I love it but the films in the video won't play. Have others had trouble? Thanks!
May 11, 2013
Chalk Dust Diva (TpT Seller)
I have never had a problem with any of my videos. Some computers will not play the video in the PP so you may need to close it first. If the videos don't play at all you may need to get technical support for your computer. The videos are not necessary for the lesson. If I find a solution I will let you know.

kprussell re: The Vietnam War – U.S. Intervention Lecture (U.S. History)
Thanks for your quick response. I downloaded it again and it was modifiable - maybe I had opened the preview instead? Sorry to trouble you. FYI, for my room I need high contrast - usually a light yellow or white font works best. For my classes over 36, size 30 font or larger is necessary, and the lower portion of my screen can be difficult for students in the back to see. With some images I reformat pictures, depending on the exposure, to reduce transparency and/or increase the contrast. (This is not because of the products, but due instead to the barely functioning projection system and classroom blinds.)

kprussell re: The Vietnam War – U.S. Intervention Lecture (U.S. History)
I purchased your product and it looks GREAT - but with the projection system and lighting in my classroom and the size of my classes some powerpoint font colors and sizes just don't work. I made the necessary changes to the Bay of Pigs - Cuban Missile Crisis ppt and it was a it was perfect for my classes, but didn't think to ask if the Vietnam ppt was modifiable. Is there any chance I can get a version that I can edit?
April 30, 2013
Chalk Dust Diva (TpT Seller)
Send me your email. It should be modifiable. I will look into it. Could you please let me know what you did to modify it so I can revise my products if necessary? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Carol Negranza (TpT Seller) re: Cold War Learning Centers -student centered activity (World History)
Looks good but I do have one question: Exactly what technology is needed in order to make this work.
How do you make it work in your class?

April 22, 2013
Chalk Dust Diva (TpT Seller)
No technology is needed unless you would like to include the non-mandatory activities at the end (see product descriptions). In that case, you would need 5 computers. Sometimes I don't have time to do the activities, so I skip them.

I created a sample KEY. You can upload the revised product. You may also want to consider purchasing my products related to the Great Depression. They will work well with the flow-map. I have yet to post a New Deal activity, but it's in the works.

Thank you for your forum submission. I took a look through my store at other items that you might be able to use in your history class. I came across two that would be easily converted. They are both 15% off this week as well.

I was looking at your Civil Rights center activities and was wondering if you thought they could be adapted for 5th grade?
Thanks for the reply- I'm following you!

The reading is for high school level, primarily 11th grade. I think it would take a lot revisions. Maybe in the future I will consider revising it for primary grades. Consider "following" me.

Linsey Krauss (TpT Seller) re: The Federalist Papers (#10, #51, #78) Lecture & Activity (CIVICS)
What is the difference between this one and the other federalism activity? Thanks!
August 16, 2012
Chalk Dust Diva (TpT Seller)
The Federalism Lecture reviews the division of powers between the national and state governments while the Federalist Papers only reviews the major concepts discussed in Federalist Papers #10, #51 and #78 (separation of powers, checks and balances and an independent judiciary. I use both lectures in my Civics class. I hope that answered your question.
