Thanks for this! When I downloaded it - it came with the name "historyofindia.ppt.doc" -- this made it so it wasn't able to open. I changed its name to historyofindia.ppt and it opened fine. FYI. =)

Awesome. I just realized I marked "F" on my last rating because I didn't look closely and thought the bubbles started with A. Oh My, I hope I can retrack that one! So sorry.

Thank you for your share. I did copy your information the link back to this via TPT onto the last slide. I am sure many users do not do this. If you do not mind a small advice, do take credit for your work and put your name and link on title slides and at the end. It may also help lead folks back to your store.
Thanks again for sharing. Ruth
I am worried that I marked the ratings backwards and put "F" where I meant "A"...I guess I just didn't look closely and went down the first column thinking it was the "A" Column... Oh my, I wonder if I've done that all day! Is there any way to reverse this?

Some are more applicable for the high school level, but I can adapt them for middle. I just wish I had more time in the year to do more of this stuff!

Students (and many adults) have poor senses of historical time. This is a much-needed, well organized method for addressing this shortcoming. The combination of historical sequencing and math has all the marks of a creative teacher! I will be featuring this one-of-a kind item on my blog (Taking Grades for Teachers) in one of my weekly Five Outstanding Freebies. Please create some companion lessons (for purchase), and
do sumbit this one to for the !0 Free Downloads Newsletter. It's a winner!

Musical Magic (TpT Seller) re: Medieval or Renaissance Student Handout
TPT asks us to ensure that free items are stand-alone materials, independent of additional materials requiring purchase. I'm sure a lot of people are disappointed when they download this and realize it's only a dangling 'carrot.'
April 21, 2013
Go Social Studies Go (TpT Seller)
Hi Musical Magic,
The activity is meant to be an introduction to Renaissance Art not a stand alone lesson. I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed. Could you explain what 'carrot' you are referring to. This will help me to make any improvements on the lesson.

Hi Airezzner.
It must be kismet. We have been playing around with this idea for the past month. We shoudl start developing the first of our scavnger hunts next month. I would love some input. What grade and subject do you teach? Are you looking for anything in particular?
Thanks for the suggestion.
