I don't think was worth 15 dollars. The outlines for the essay were "who, what, where, when, why?" I was hoping to get some really good activities and resources to use, which this does (somewhat) include but I will probably only implement one or two into the classroom. I expected more for the price (but I may have just been lucky on this website so far.

I used some of this material when I studied WWI with my students. There were some good points here. I especially liked the propaganda assignment at the end, but honestly, it's quite pricey for what is offered. You might want to consider lowering the price a bit. If you did, I think it'd be a great resource. Thanks!

Much of this seems to be either teacher notes--not formatted in such a way as to hand to students. Also many assignments seem to go with a book, though no mention of this is made in the description. Some of the activities are good, but overall, this was very overpriced.
January 27, 2013
Matt Campbell (TpT Seller)
I apologize for the miscommunication. I intended to make it clear that this is an Entire Unit to help you plan as a teacher, not a combination of worksheets (although there are plenty of things ready to hand directly to the students.) Some of the activities do supplement a textbook, however I don't think I have ever taught a lesson without tying it back to our textbook. All in all, I would be happy to send you additional Industrial Revolution lessons or activities for free to make up for this miscommunication.

From the description it seemed this would be a simulation about "how to stay afloat in the great depression". Instead, I found a stock market simulation. This was not what I was looking for.

It is notes. No pictures. Basic notes and that is it. On the buyers page it has a picture and that was not even included in the notes. I was a little disapointed with product compared to the price. My expectations were higher having purchased many other products from this website.

I apologize for the disappointment. I tried to make clear in my instructions that it was a bundle package including notes. I also have "Full Units" which include worksheets, bellringers, images, etc. The first image displayed is also the thumbnail image used to display the lesson.
To make up for this miscommunication, I would be happy to send you some additional materials for free if you wouldn't mind providing me with your e-mail address.

Product was just as it was described. However, it was very basic and I found myself having to add a lot to it to make it more meaty. I feel it was on the expensive side for how much it offered.

This seller didn't provide a sample of the materials being sold. I was very disappointed of with the mateirals. I was looking for activities that were more engaging for different learning styles. Although clear, thorough and accurate, it didn't provide me with lively lessons/activities to engage all my learners. These activities are those that can be found in my T.E. and ancillary/resource books. It would really helped me as a buyer to see a preview of the materials being sold.

nhinden re: Government Class Activities: Teacher as Dictator Simulation
Hi, Can you send me more information about this? I am interested but the preview doesn't show much. What kind of activities are involved?
Thanks!
Thanks!
April 6, 2013
Matt Campbell (TpT Seller)
Sure!
Here is the opening paragraph: For years you have lived under the fear and tyranny of your teacher. Constantly assigning homework assignments every night and creating tests that are unbearable. Imagine what would happen if one day that teacher stopped coming, and you were put in charge of the class. You and your classmates know that you still need to take the final and pass, but this time you are in charge of how the class is going to do that. How will you run the classroom?
It's a simple activity that asks the students a series of questions designed to take them through a scenario of what they would do if they were put in charge of the class. Who would rule, how would you decide, etc. The students typically love this day. I like to pretend to be a student during this day and help them figure it out. Good luck!

I have just looked at the file and it is uploaded correctly. I have sold this lesson a few times without this feedback. If you would like to provide me with your e-mail address, I would be happy to send you this lesson in a different version of word, perhaps your operating system does not support the newest office products.

Hi Matt,
Can you give me a summary about your checks and balances simulation? What exactly do the students do during that activity? Do they practice checking each other with different real world topics or problems?

Matt Campbell (TpT Seller)
Thank you for this question. This activity is 4 pages long. Here are some of the instructions for this activity:
1) Divide the class into three groups: Executive, Legislative
and Judicial branches of government. Each student should
have a copy of the Constitution with them.
2. In each round the teacher will give each branch of government
an opportunity for an unconstitutional "Power Grab". The
remaining two groups have two minutes to find proof from the
Constitution (amendments included) by Article, section and
clause, why the power grab is unconstitutional.
3. When a person thinks he finds the appropriate check he yells
"check". He must be prepared to respond with the answer
immediately. If wrong, others may try to block the grab for
power with the two minutes, alternating between branches
until the two minutes are gone or the answer is correct.

The notes do not include a powerpoint. I typically used this lesson with a smartboard, where I showed the students a portion of the notes at a time. The notes themselves come with a student version with the notes half filled in. It can also be used with an overhead just as simply.

Mr. Campbell, I purchased your "Federal Reserve, Monetary and Fiscal Policy" bundle package today. I just have one question. What is the "Organizational Chart of Power in D300"?
November 2, 2012

D300 is the school district that I work in. So that particular example is based on my school district. I would advise to take the concept and adapt it to your own district.

TheBridge re: Renaissance and Reformation Entire Unit
I purchased your Renaissance/Reformation Unit expecting 48 pp/slides but, unfortunately, received only a 17 page word doc. More perplexing is that 15 of the 17 pages have a title with no further information. Ex: p 3 "Day 1 Main Activity;" no further info is on the page...and this is the case for pages 3-17! Please let me know how to obtain the remainder of your unit plan! Thanks. Bridget

I would like to add that it is not a powerpoint presentation. No where in my explanation or preview did I give the impression that it was simply powerpoint.

I purchased your unit on Greece and Rome and was curious if you had an outline or guide at all of how you used / implemented these lessons? Specifically, the notes, were those just lectures, or did you hand those out as guided notes?
Anything would be helpful.

Matt Campbell (TpT Seller)
I don't have a specific guide, but if you notice it is laid out by day and type. For instance, the first activity is Day 1 Bell Ringer. I use Bell Ringer's at the beginning of every activity to activate prior learning and create a context for the lesson of that day. The second activity is a warm up, which is an activity I personally ask the students to work in with assigned partners. This activity directly leads into the "Main Activity" which is the specific way I will deliver content to the students. In example, the main activity for day 1 is the rise of greek civilization notes. I personally delete out the content and pass out the notes for students to take notes "fill in the blank" style. And then I lecture on the smartboard or chalkboard. Each day also has homework coming from someting called an "objective guide." I have created this objective guide to ensure that the students are given a daily assessment which ensures the students are responsible for understanding the definitions and major concepts from that day's lessons. I actually give the students the entire objective guide ahead of time, and ask them to work on it day by day. This helps if students miss a day, they know what they missed, and their "study guide" is already complete before the test, so instead of racing to get it done, they can start studying it. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

This activity does not come with a map. It is free to download, so feel free to check it out. When I use it in class, I provide the students with the page in the textbook that has a map of america, but I took it out since each teacher uses a unique textbook. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sure, I love this activity! It covers some of the main topics leading to the civil war and guides them through a timeline activity, however they are not allowed to use words and must rely on pictures and symbols. Its great because the students have to truly understand it in order to represent it visually.
