Thanks Michele! I'm an experienced teacher looking for a new position following a move so I haven't had to create a portfolio for several years. I found your checklist was very current and addressed many of the same items and concepts that the schools are asking about in application packets and interviews.

As a newer teacher, I'm anxious to hear what my students have to say about my teaching. Is there a way to switch the background color so it's more conducive to pencils? Thanks!
May 19, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Great idea! Two options - quickest is to print in greyscale or I can reduce background colors and upload a new file. That one may take me a few days since I'm not at my computer today (I'm painting my daughters house for her this week). Just email me and let me know!

There is a chapter in this book that addresses planning and creation of lesson plans. In addition, it references my free TpT Store and the free materials I have available, including a lesson plan template and a curriculum map template.
This product is detailed with the following description on the product page and the preview and thumbnail provides the chapter outline:
This step-by-step guide will be the perfect handbook for the student teacher, a new teacher, or an experienced teacher hoping to make their classroom more successful in the coming school year.
A great guide which covers all aspects of an effective, efficient high-expectations classroom. From organization to the first day of school to dealing with administrators and co-workers, this book talks the teachers through the basics with simple hints, easy to use templates, and great little stories and examples. Topics such as Special Education modifications and grading efficiently are also covered.
This 82 page guide is easy to read, and a great tool to use to guide you into your first day of the new school year.
I hope you will find it useful.

dismic re: World War One & Russian Revolution COMPLETE UNIT for World History
Hello, I have bought this product yesterday. However, I can't find the mapping activity or the letter writing activity that is included in the lesson plan anywhere. Can you tell me where it is? Thank you
May 9, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Hello!
Many of the activities are embedded in the Powerpoints! The mapping activity for the alliances is actually done with the MAIN Powerpoint. I usually provided a blank Europe map that students completed as we went through the lecture notes for the day's lesson. The writing activity is on the Treaty of Versailles Powerpoint.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Are these included in the WWII COMPLETE UNIT package?

Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
These are brand new items, so they are not included in the complete unit. There are, however, many analysis activities in the unit, since I think that is one of the most important skills to be taught in a SS class!
Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions. And, if you would like me to send you the unit plan for the package, just let me know. If may help you see more of what you would receive in the package.

teacher12345678 re: Minorities in WWII Primary Source Analysis Handout Homework US History
Hi, I am a first-year, sixth grade U.S. History teacher. I am looking for a unit on WWII. I have come across your WWII bundle and your many individual items. Your preview for the bundle didn't really tell me much about the items in the unit...what all is included? Are things like this handout and some of your others I have seen included in that unit bundle? Thanks!
May 5, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
I have different bundle sets! I have a primary source bundle for $3.20 which includes all 4 of the primary sources analysis handouts for WWII (and the same for other units). Each handout is also sold separately. You should be able to see each in the thumbnail images.
I also have complete units, which include Ppt Interactive lectures, student activities, and handouts for the entire unit. The thumbnails show the exact listing of the files you will receive, and the descriptions should summarize what will be included. The complete units do NOT, however, include the primary source bundles. They are brand new in my store, and I did not update the existing units to include them.
I also have complete semester sets available, but I'm not sure how your curriculum runs, so you would want to take a look at the units they include.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, you can email me at micki51769@aol.com for a quicker response! This Q&A can be a bit slow sometimes! :)

Teacher-Librarian (TpT Seller) re: Renaissance and Reformation COMPLETE Unit for World History
Michele - There were far more than three mistakes ... I started an e-mail in which I was going to list mistakes/ask you to make corrections, and then - due to time constraints - decided to scrap the e-mail (I did not think this "scrapped" e-mail made its way to you). My issue: $14.00 is a significant purchase on TPT, and a product priced as such should be proofed -and proofed again - and, thus, error free. This was not a professional product and not worth $14.00.
May 2, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry you are unhappy with this unit. I corrected the typos that I found in the one activity you mentioned, and re-uploaded the new files immediately following your comment and rating. I understand your position, and I do work very hard to make sure everything is error-free. The unit you purchased included 14 different files, and almost 100 pages, and I would love the specific feedback if I did not address the errors in the new upload. I also always work to make corrections, when needed, and I even make changes for teachers who request different fonts or colors in my products. As for the value of this product, it is actually very under-priced according to the suggested TpT pricing chart and would be over $40 if the products were purchased individually. With it being a bundled item, I try to give my customers a discount when buying the full units. In addition, I take everything very personally when it comes to my products and my store. This was a very well-rated (with 15 comments) product before your rating, and I had added resources to meet the requests of previous buyers (a unit plan...). With all this said, please let me know what you would like changed so I can meet your expectations. Thank you again for your feedback.

Do you mean unit packages? I do have them for my World History units and a few for U.S. History. Take a look in the "Complete Unit Sets" category on the left side in my Store. One problem I have encountered is my files are so large due to the images I include, that my unit sets go over the TpT limit!
And don't forget to email me for another $3 item! :) You may want to take a look at the end of the year items! There are games for World History and survey/evaluation forms for the last days.

Hi Drew!
First, a question/concern... Did you get the unit plan that should be included in the zip? It may also be the preview for this product. It will have the bellringers and wrap-up assignments for each day, and will help with organizing the lessons.
As for your questions, my recommendation would be to put the Protestant Reformation Ppt and the Guided Notes before Luther. It will help them to better understand everything that happens in the beginning of the movie. It is also the core of your content on the Reformation.
The Printing Press Exercise is a crude Experiential Exercise I did with my students where I had them take notes and duplicate copies for the absent students, helping them get the idea of what it was like before the press. I used it as my intro activity to lead into the Reformation part of the unit. You could also flip 6 & 7 so they have a bit more content knowledge before doing the DBQ, or it can stay in place to have them draw more on the provided documents.
Also, the Walking Tour and the Meet & Greet will each take multiple days, so you may want to allow more time for those!
Please email me if you have any other questions!

Would this unit be to difficult for 6th grade? I see you have it for seventh and up. Thanks!

I set it as 7th grade and up because our state does not address the world history or religion components until 7th grade, but it would be very good to use with the 6th grade classes! I've even had feedback from a 5th grade teacher that used it with her GT kids. I hope it will work for you!

I will look through my resources to see what I have or what links I can offer. Can you email me so I can send them easier? It's micki51769@aol.com
Thanks!
Carol,
I looked through all of my computer files, and the only one I have is quite blurry. I would be happy to send it to you through email, but again, it is blurry! I also used my textbook's blank Europe map and hand drew in the country outlines for the Cold War before I reproduced for students. I did find a few online (including one on TpT), but I could not find any marked they were public domain or providing rights information. One other suggestion - in my state, I once contacted my state Geographic Society. They sent me 5 copies of every map imaginable. While it did not provide me a blank option, I used them to have students work in groups with a map for each group and the students sketched in the borders onto the blanks I did have.
I hope this helps! Don't you just love how we teachers learn to teach what we do not have resources to cover?! We are the most adaptable profession ever! :)
This is a great activity, though, and I hope you will be able to use it with your students!
Please let me know if I can help in any other way!
Michele

laboothe re: World Religions COMPLETE Investigation and Comparison Centers Activity
I am thinking this would be a great activity for the end of the year of my World History studies (next year they go onto US History). It would bring together the religions studied in 6th and 7th grade. What do you think? I haven't seen the unit yet...just wondering.
April 6, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
I usually started my World History courses with a world religions unit (including this activity), but I can also see it as a good wrap-up to the year. It compares the major world religions and also provides great information on each. It would help students to see the many similarities and the areas of contention relating to so many historic events they will study in U.S. and have studied in World!

17173 re: Industrial Revolution Unit for World, European, or U.S. History COMPLETE
Hi, I bought this off you approximately at week ago and I'm still having trouble fitting it all together. There seems to be extras of some things, and then other activities are missing. I'm also having trouble matching up what you mention in the unit outline with what is in the file and power points aren't labelled by day in some cases. For example, the power point that goes with day two (which is labelled in the PPT) has an exit slip half way through, then continues on with more slides and another exit slip. The Bill Nye Ppt doesn't seem to fit into any day on the unit plan. I'm very confused! Is there anyway you could somehow email me an more detailed unit plan/outline? You've got great resources in here I just can't for the life of me untangle it. Thank you! -Erin

The topics that are not in the package or store are brainstorming activities I did at the board with students or topics that I assigned students to work on in small groups. The geography effects was an activity where I had students first brainstorm in small groups and then had them create "big paper" illustrations of the geographic changes they imagined from settlement. We then hung them up and discussed them as a class.

Is there a key for the Review Questions and the Reading Questions? Are the Review Questions prior knowledge or are in the readings?
Also, I'm a little confused where they get the "answer" to help label the map. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. :) Thanks!

The review questions are basic geography review that would require previous knowledge or content review from a previous unit or lesson. I have also placed a student atlas at each station for students to utilize in finding the answers they do not know or remember (and in my collab classes). Many are also referenced in the readings, but not as key content.
The Reading Questions are the key content they should gather from the provided readings in the activity.
An example:
Review question: What is the name of this location? (Pointing to the Cape of Good Hope)
Reading question: Who were the "Africans" at the time of the Columbian Exchange? (Answered in reading)
And there is a powerpoint that accompanies this activity that provides all of the answers for review/wrap-up with the students at the end.

I don't understand how to use these cards.
March 24, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Page 8 of the power point is the beginning of the activity. The first 7 slides are introduction to the unit and a quick brain starter. As you reach slide 8, students should follow the directions provided to them regarding how they layout their paper and create the graphic organizer. As you view each event from there, they will add the event to the graphic organizer according to the directions. At the end of the ppt, you find the exit slip to assign students or to use as a wrap-up discussion prompt.
Let me know if you need any other clarification!

Hi Michele!
I just purchased your Middle Ages complete Unit. It looks great! But there are some things that I am not finding. In the unit plan it mentions things like a walking tour, daily life placards, notes, visual discovery activity, etc. and I'm not finding them. In the folder I had the power points and then 9 documents but I can't find any of those other items!
Thanks! Michelle

I purchased the New Deal Primary Source activity. It is great, but there is a typo on the first page at the bottom (questions 1), it should say "What types..." instead of Why. Also, could you explain the picture in the top left on the second page? Thanks!

I will get it fixed immediately, but I am in a remote location right now and my internet is very iffy! Please allow me to the weekend if I can't get it to upload tonight.
As for the image - This is a WPA image of one of the Electric programs initiated during the new deal. These programs brought electric service to more remote (at the time) areas and provided numerous jobs for young men in those areas. TVA is a good example.
And thank you for letting me know!

I'm trying to figure out how to put this activity together. Which documents go with which "locations?" Some are straightforward, but I can't figure out what to put with the Plato Academy or where to put the timeline or map? Thanks!
March 13, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Each station should be together in order and the timeline and map are for all stations.
I am just on my phone and traveling now, but I will get to my computer and get you more details this afternoon. If you can email me at micki51769@aol.com I can get back to you better than through the q&a!

UPDATE:
I am still traveling, so I was only able to pull up the file on my computer as we stopped, but I wanted to let you know that the Plato Academy images are F & G and the Timeline and Map can go at the beginning, depending on where you begin your students (I usually have them start at the Marketplace!). I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any other help with it, and I will add in a directions sheet asap! Thank you for letting me know!

This looks great and I'm glad I bought it but I'm still a little confused on how to actually set it up. Is there anyway each station set could have the same letter or number in the corner (of the reading, map, or images)? I think that may help me.
I'm also a tad confused about what the students are filling out as they rotate.
Thank you

Thanks for letting me know about this one. I thought I had included an instructions sheet separately in the zip file, but it isn't there on its own!
For the time being:
There are teacher directions on page 16 of the pdf.
The student handout is page 17 & 18 of the pdf.
Page 3 of the ppt provides the student directions for the stations.
Page 4 of the ppt provides the answers for overview at the end of the activity, but is also your guide to set up the stations.
As for as the questions and maps, they are in order in the pdf file and the name at the top (eg, "Location 3: The Americas") goes with the corresponding readings (eg. "The Americas").
I will add this to my to do list for this weekend. I'm not sure how the directions got buried in the middle???!!!!
I hope this helps in the mean time! Again, thanks for letting me know!

All of my materials are very interactive and could be used with advanced middle school students as far as the level of difficulty. There are analysis activities throughout, but I taught my middle schoolers how to analyze and they did it quite well (also advanced students). My only concern is that some of the images related to the war (A-bomb) are very graphic. You could modify the "Atrocities" activity to remedy this.

Hi Michele just purchased your first and second semester world history units. I'm not sure how to download from or into a 'zip' drive. Any suggestions?
February 22, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Ok, I think I can help!
For the zip, all you do is download like normal. It is a very large download, so be prepared for it to take a while depending on your internet speed. When it asks, you will "save to" whatever location you want (desktop, a folder, etc). All you should need to do after that is double click on the zip file and it will open and create a folder with the same title. All of the unit files are in individual folders within that folder. There is a unit plan within each folder to guide you through the lessons.
As for the second semester, you will need to open the file and simply follow the directions to receive the larger file. This one is double the first semester size, so you will follow the same steps, but it is just a very large file download!!!
And my email is in the file directions, so you can email me with any questions or concerns!

February 20, 2013
Michele Luck's Social Studies (TpT Seller)
Hmmm... The two that address the economics the most are the "Start of..." and the "Effects of..." I've not read Angela's Ashes, though, so I'm not really sure what will fit the most. Another consideration - these are just the primary sources and guiding questions. There is very little provided reading (content) for informative purposes. If you want a more informative activity, take a look at this one!

It is just first semester, though. I also have second semester available. You may want to look at the units included with each to make sure you get the one that has your state requirements.
If you have any other questions, please let me know!

sharonbrewster re: Civil Rights Movement Ppt w/ Core Content Lecture Notes
Hi, I just bought your Civil Rights Movement Powerpoint. It is great! One fact needs correction, though. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted for over a year. There is disagreement about the exact date the bus boycott began - some sources say it was Dec. 1st, the day of Parks' arrest, others say Dec. 2, the day the Women's Political Council called for a bus boycott, and other sources say it began the day of Rosa Parks' trial, on Dec. 5th, 1957. But in any case, it went until December 20, 1958. Just wanted to clarify. I really love both of your civil rights Powerpoints and am using them with my 5th graders. We were fortunate enough to have Dr. Terrence Roberts, one of the Little Rock Nine, come to speak to our 5th graders right after we reviewed the movement using your Powerpoint, A great day and great materials!

If that doesn't work, please let me know so I can make sure we get it. Another solution may be to contact TpT support. The tech people there are far smarter than I on this stuff! :)

This is a great resource, thanks so much! However, it seems I am not able to save it onto my computer- is there something I'm missing?

I am a 5th grade teacher. Our curriculum is lacking in this area. I love the look of your unit......but do you think it might be to advanced for the grade level I teac

I would recommend that you take a look at the sample in the preview to determine if the reading level is appropriate. The only other concern I would have is the content. You will definitely need to eliminate some of the topics since they are not elementary appropriate (bootlegging, flappers, gangsters), but the sports, movies, cars and other topics would be fun for them. One last consideration is the new vocabulary. Much of the 20s vocabulary is new for middle and high schoolers, so you would need to address that as well.
On another note, I would love it if you would take a look at my geography scavenger hunts. There are a bunch of new ones on my 'recents' page. I posted them for 5-12, but I do not want to upset anyone if they are not grade 5 appropriate. There is also a Canada Scavenger Hunt (a little older and not as "pretty" as my new ones), and it is free to download! My newest Presidents Scavenger Hunt is also free for the coming holiday and it is also ranged 5-12! I hope it will work for you!

Is it centered around US history more or European? Thanks for offering such great products.

Thank you!
This actually starts with the changes in Britain, but also covers the developments and inventions that take place in the US as a result of the movement of the revolution.
