Author: Daniel Shogan, Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History Students will learn about the 1883 Massacre in Danville, Virginia as an example of violence against African Americans. Within the context of the massacre, they will be shown primary documents from the event. These documents will provide the students with not only a lens into the Danville of the nineteenth century, but also provide them with an opportunity to think critically about the documents. After careful discussion of the events and outcomes of the massacre, the students will be given vocabulary worksheets that help to define and underline the most important elements of the narrative.

Find mini lessons  and anchor charts for each grade level (K-2, 3-6, 7-9 & 10-12) on The Writing Revolution's sentence-level activities, note-taking strategies, a sequence for teaching a single paragraph and multiple paragraph compositions with activities and examples. An implementation plan is provided, as well as how to infuse writing into math, along with pacing guides and other lesson ideas. This resource has everything you need to start using The Writing Revolution at the sentence-level, note-taking, paragraph and mutiple paragraph writing strategies in your classroom or school. We recommend that you have a copy of this book to use as a support in your classroom to assist with implementaiton (especially if you are the ELA teacher). This is an outstanding resource.  

In this learning experience, the students will analyze multiple primary source documents as well as secondary information sources to understand this watershed event in Virginia and US History. The three men who will be studied in this experience ran away from their slave-holding captors and made their way to Fort Monroe. Upon arrival, military leadership at the fort claimed that the run-aways were enemy contraband and therefore could be confiscated by the Union forces. They were declared free through this war-time loophole and when the news spread, many other African Americans would soon start coming to Fort Monroe to claim their freedom as well.  Students begin by examining the records of enslaved people who ran away “to the enemy” (Union forces). Finally, students will use a Cost/Benefit analysis chart to guide their analysis of secondary information sources and develop an understanding of the concepts of resistance and a working knowledge of the event of Mallory, Baker, and Townsend sparking one of the first blows to the system of slavery.

Students practice deciding whether an adjective or an adverb is needed by filling in the blank with one of the provided options.

Students learn to write descriptive sentences using adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases in this teacher-led lesson.

The students will analyze five primary resource images. A Jamboard activity focuses on the African American Great Migration and its push /pull factors (an attached slide show may be used as an alternative). The Jamboard activity allows for student participation, so it can be used as an observation teacher formative assessment.

In this lesson, students will survey the extent of and experiences of African Americans in military service during US war efforts from the Revolution to the Vietnam Conflict using a Hyperdoc (see attached) that can be assigned using your LMS system.

In this learning experience, the students will complete a primary source inquiry into the impacts of Reconstruction on Black experiences in Virginia and the South. The students will use the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning structure to defend one of two claims.Students will analyze sources that depict/detail Black experiences and perspectives before, during, and after the Reconstruction. This learning experience will be most effective after students have been introduced to the what and when of Reconstruction.

"Make Stuff Move souhaite que les élèves utilisent des outils et des matériaux de tous les jours pour apprendre et développer des compétences pratiques en construction, tout en faisant preuve de créativité pour résoudre des problèmes. Les disciplines STEM/STEAM sont excellentes, mais elles le sont encore plus lorsque des outils sont impliqués !

Cette bibliothèque d'apprentissage comprend :
*Des plans de cours
*Des instructions pas à pas
*Du codage
*Et bien plus encore !

(Des kits sont également disponibles à l'achat sur le site)"

Aperçu : Bienvenue dans une autre leçon de codage Make Stuff Move. Cette deuxième leçon va vous montrer comment déplacer un servo à l'aide du bouton sur votre bouclier d'animation.

Students learn about atoms and their structure (protons, electrons, neutrons) — the building blocks of matter. They see how scientific discoveries about atoms and molecules influence new technologies developed by engineers.

Students will investigate through primary and secondary sources the dynamics of the development of race relations in early colonial Virginia from court cases between 1640 to 1656. The story and cases of John Punch (1640), John Casor (1655), and Elizabeth Key Grinstead (1656) are known to be some of the first freedom suits in the Virginia colony. Students will then investigate slave codes from 1705 to determine how colonial officials justified the treatment of enslaved people.

Students will analyze multiple sources to determine which of the causes of the Civil War each source best supports. Students will support their choices with evidence from the source and their own understanding of the causes of the Civil War.

Students will match the name, phrases and picture. The cards focus on the specific VDOE SOL essential knowledge, adapts to the required SOL 1 Primary resource learning components, and activates the multiple learning styles. The Task Cards allow multiple SOL strand concept review. The teacher can use them in a small group, tiered groupings, and independent study.

"Les compteurs analogiques sont tout autour de nous !. Ils sont utilisés pour représenter visuellement les mesures et les données. L'un des compteurs analogiques les plus courants est l'aiguille de carburant dans une voiture. Cela convertit une lecture du niveau de carburant dans le réservoir en une lecture vide à pleine sur le compteur.

Dans cette version, nous utiliserons un servo pour construire un compteur à commande électronique. Nous utiliserons d'abord simplement le bouton sur le tableau de commande pour déplacer l'aiguille en convertissant la position du bouton en mouvement de l'aiguille. Ensuite, un capteur sonore sera connecté pour convertir le niveau sonore (c'est-à-dire la musique) en une lecture de compteur. Cela en fera ce qu'on appelle communément un "VU-mètre"

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. In this learning experience students will learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he marched for causes he believed in. As a result of this learning experience students will choose their own important cause to walk or advocate for in order to honor and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy of advocacy and leadership.

Through this lesson and its two associated activities, students are introduced to the use of geometry in engineering design, and conclude by making scale models of objects of their choice. The practice of developing scale models is often used in engineering design to analyze the effectiveness of proposed design solutions. In this lesson, students complete fencing (square) and fire pit (circle) word problems on two worksheets—which involves side and radius dimensions, perimeters, circumferences and areas—guiding them to discover the relationships between the side length of a square and its area, and the radius of a circle and its area. They also think of real-world engineering applications of the geometry concepts.

This activity explores the push and pull of moving from Richmond, Virginia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for 4 siblings during the 1920s by examining primary and secondary sources and using a decision-making model. This activity includes topics such as the impact of segregation and discrimination against African Americans, and the impact of Black migration from the south to the north.
