Do your student's need to know the basics about our third president? This includes two worksheet activities that will introduce students to Thomas Jefferson and the "Revolution of 1800."

This is a 45 minute activity I use to wrap up the French and Indian War. It combines a prezi with a handout to guide students through quick notes and an analysis of the cost of the war. Great cross-curricular activity!

This is designed to go along with the fifth episode of the Liberty's Kids series. The series can be found online. This guide includes questions for while the students watch, and three questions to help the students wrap up and absorb the information after they finish watching the video. Total time to go over the questions and view the episode should be about 40 minutes.

This guide is meant to go along with Liberty's Kids Episode 2, "The Intolerable Acts." The video can be found on youtube. This includes a pdf with a do now, a vocab model for intolerable and the video guide with a key. Total teaching time for my class was 40 minutes.

My students really struggle with planning out their writing. This outline has really helped them organize their essay responses and has greatly improved their writing! I use it with DBQs too, but then they also have to add which documents go with which paragraphs.

Here's a writing assignment I give my 8th graders after studying the Declaration of Independence. It has students create their own declaration from an issue they are having in their own life.
