Hello. There are quite a few typos in this packet. Is their an updated version? Also, you repeat Ch 58 in two sections. Was that deliberate?
March 18, 2013
Traveling Teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi, my apologies for any typos...I will be updating it when I teach the book again next month. If I repeated one section, it mostly likely meant that my class and I didn't get to that section that day, and completed it next class.

Everettsgwendolynn re: Choosing a Greek City-State - Athens or Sparta
I purchased this lesson on choosing a city-state and I was just wondering if you have the readings that you use? I work in a district without decent textbooks and I was really hoping there was a reading included with the lesson. Thanks!
March 14, 2013
Traveling Teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi....I do have the readings that I've used for this activities, but they are parts of other lessons I have posted (Life in Athens, Life in Sparta, Monarchy and Oligarchy in Ancient Greece,Tyranny and Democracy in Ancient Greece). I've always used these as a set of consecutive lessons leading up to the one you purchased, Choosing a Greek City-State. I had tried putting everything together (into a multi-part lesson), but the scans of the texts are too big to upload into one item on this site. Hope this helps!

Hi...you're absolutely right. The pictures were in a powerpoint for that lesson, but the site does not let me upload more than one file for a particular item. They are just generic pictures of the Himalayas, Ganges, etc. But if you want, give me your email and I will send you the powerpoint for the lesson right away!

No there's no answer key...they are all written responses and graphic organizers, no multiple choice. Its a combination of comprehension questions, and student reaction/opinion questions.

No problem...the review guide is mostly written answers anyway (not multiple choice). Hope this helps.

Hi Travelling Teacher. I'm not asking a question but I noticed a glaring spelling mistake in your work. You have consistently used "to" instead of "two" in the summary and the preview page. This might sell better without the mistake.

Hi,
No there is not an answer key. All of the questions require written responses....they are basic comprehension questions of the novel. If you've read it, it be real easy to check if they're reading.

Hi,
This reading should work fine and in my opinion, doesn't need to be adapted at all. All the images I included in the guide are taken from graphic novel. When I read it with my class, half had the book and half had the graphic novel, and everything went perfect.

Hello, I have just purchased your unit on Jamestown and the Powhatan, and it looks great! I can't wait to begin the discussion with my daughters. From where do you expect the student to get most of the information about Jamestown and Powhatan? Fortunately, we were able to visit Jamestown a couple of years ago, and it was a wonderful, enriching experience.
Thank you for putting together a well thought out lesson and sharing your thoughtful insight on this subject

November 8, 2012

For my ancient Greece unit, I actually dont think I any many quizzes. For that unit our assessment was a persuasive speech. The other units I have (India, China, 3 major religions, and I think Rome) all have quizzes and tests, and Egypt has a written assessment like the Greece unit. If you're interested in any or all of them, let me know and I'll make a listing for those whole units. Hope this helps! Any questions, feel free to ask.

I've purchased quite a few lessons from you. I really like the way you incorporate ELA in the S.S.lesson. What do SARR and SWBAT stand for? I'm assuming it's some sort of reading strategy.
I purchased Confucianism in Ancient China. Looking at the thumbnails it seems I am missing the part that comes after the chart. It also refers to a power point. Do you sell this?

January 16, 2012
Traveling Teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi..sorry for any confusion, sometimes I write to lessons with my own abbreviations because Ive gotten so used to it. SWBAT just means students will be able to, and SARR mean scan, ask a question, read and return (so its kind of like a pre-reading strategy). I just checked and I have the powerpoint for the Confucius lesson, only this site lets me upload only one file. If you want, give me your email and I will send it along to you. I wouldnt charge for it, since it really goes with a lesson youve paid for.
January 16, 2012
mdivincenzo
Instead of buying lessons individually, would you consider selling packets with all of your activities for a specific ancient civilization?
November 27, 2011
Traveling Teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi...sorry for the delay, I just got a new computer. Yeah I would definitely prefer to do that anyway. It makes sense to bundle them for a reduced priced and Im still trying how to do that on here (since I have a lot of images and scans, it goes over the MB limit). But regardless let me know which lesson youre interested in and a price your thinking and I'll bundle them together.

What is ASC? Thanks.
November 7, 2011
Traveling Teacher (TpT Seller)
Hey...ASC is answer, support comment. So typically the first sentence is the answer that answers the question being asked. 3 s's...supporting comments that support the answer. And then the c, which is the closing/comment, which wraps up the paragraph and closes it out. 5 sentences total. Hope this helps!

Semclinden re: Christianity in Ancient Rome and the Bone Church of Santa Maria
Dear Traveling Teacher,
I recently downloaded your Christianity in Ancient Rome and the Bone Church of Santa Maria. As part of you product description and lesson preview it states that all passages will be included with the purchase of the lesson plan. However, after purchasing it I realized that the first passage about the Rise of Chrisitianity in Ancient Rome was not included. While I do like the Bone Church portion of this lesson, I don't see the point to providing questions when you dont offer the corresponding reading because now I must find one and alter questions to fit that reading and I thought tha by purchasing this lesson that I would be able to avoid doing that. Is this a mistake? And if so can you please send me that corresponding reading. Thank you.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am a 5th year teacher of Humanities, a combination of literacy and social studies. I taught 7th grade Humanities for 2 years and am currently in my 3rd year of teaching 6th grade Humanities.
MY TEACHING STYLE
With my teaching style, I like to incorporate all types of resources to meet all different types of learning (such as readings, writing, pictures, video, music, etc). Students in my class are constantly challenged and get the most out of our class time every day. All students participate and never will you see a student with their head on their desks, slouching in their chair or without something in their hand to write with.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Yet to be added
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I majored in English, minored in History at Fordham University in NYC. Also through Fordham University, I have received my Masters Degree in Childhood Education.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Many of my lesson are Humanities based, and thus are a combination of Social Studies and Literacy. In the 6th grade we focus on the ancient civilization of the world. Thanks to teaching, I have been able to travel to many of the places I teach about, and always try to incorporate as much as I can from my travel into my lesson.
