Investigating Employee Benefits

This is a digital worksheet that students fill out as they research the benefits offered by an employer. It is most appropriate to do this activity the day after teaching about all potential benefits (PTO, Insurance, Retirement, ect).

Human Environment Interaction (HEI) In Depth Study

Created by

CLASSwithMAC

This activity allows students to find real world examples of HEI, and evaluate how that example is harmful/ helpful to humans and the environment. Best used after a direct teach lesson over HEI. I prefer posting on an LMS, and allowing students to drag pictures from Google for their examples. An alternative is printing the activity as a worksheet, and having students draw their examples.

Additional biographical information

I grew up in Austin, Texas and attended school in AISD. By the time I finished high school I was ready to get away from the big city, so I chose to attend college at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX. After graduating with my teaching certification, I went on to teach in "Small Town East Texas" for a few years when I started missing my family. Ten years, two degrees, and six years of teaching experience later, I decided to move closer to home. I'm now settled into College Station, figuring out how to survive Aggieland as a diehard Longhorn. This background has provided me a unique perspective on education. I've learned the benefits and challenges of both rural and urban schools, small and large. Through it all, I'm thankful for every experience as it has made me the educator I am today. I love my job with a deep burning passion, and consider myself lucky to get to wake up every day and do what I do.
