This is a short and sweet anticipatory lesson to do before reading "A Long Way from Chicago". It got my students talking and discussing for a full 45 minute class period. They loved being able to talk about themselves, and I got to learn things that I might not have otherwise.

How many slides are in this?
January 19, 2012
Mrs. Taylor17 (TpT Seller)
Hello Silvrsky,
There are 20 slides total. They start with primarily pictures and ask students to journal about
"Separate but EQUAL" (pictures show inequality) The rest are text that give basic information about the novel.

JacintaBader re: Holocaust webquest - interactive map of Auschwitz
Do you have an answer key for this activity?
January 18, 2012
Mrs. Taylor17 (TpT Seller)
Hi Jacintaber-
I do not have a key with me and I actually had a baby last week so I am on maternity leave. :) The answers are pretty straight-forward-- some map-reading skills and number statistics. I remember that toward the end of the worksheet there was a question about Buna-- it is a section of the camp, but also means "synthetic rubber" <-- I just remember that that particular question the students sometimes struggled to find.
I hope this helps a little bit. I could send you a key when I return in 11 weeks, but I have a feeling that my be a little late ;)

How many questions are on the worksheet.
January 5, 2012
Mrs. Taylor17 (TpT Seller)
There are 15 questions total, but some of them have several parts. The worksheet guides the kiddos through the website. It takes my 8th graders about 50 minutes.

Hi Mrs. Taylor,
I teach 7th grade English and absolutely LOVE your resources :) I've got several of your items in my cart, but I just wanted to see if you were going to offer any promo codes or "black Friday" coupons over the holidays before I purchase? If so, I would love to hold off and then perhaps add a few more goodies to my cart with the money saved. If not, I'll go ahead and purchase fewer items now.
Thanks for sharing your fantastic items on TPT!

Hi Ashley!
Thanks a lot!! I started teaching 7 years ago and just was not thrilled with using textbook and worksheets all the time, so I created a ton of stuff myself. I randomly stumbled upon TPT when I was on maternity leave two years ago :)
Anyway, I just set up to run a 15% off sale this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday :)
Thanks for the note! :)

Hey Mrs. Taylor ...we just added this book and several others to our 'independent study" reading list for my alternative program. One of my students chose to read it right away and I haven't had the chance yet(but it is on my list w/ the others I need to read)... Can you get my an answer key if you have one.... I think your reply will come directly to my email...etc... THANKS MUCH! Bill W
September 18, 2011
Mrs. Taylor17 (TpT Seller)
Hey Bill! Please let me check my hard copies of my tests at school. I will get back to you by Tuesday.
HEY BILL-- UPDATE: I have not been at school as I have been quite ill. I think I will be back tomorrow-- I will get the key then and post it asap.
Thanks
