Research project and presentation based on the novel The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom.
Figurative language uses words or expressions that go beyond the literal meaning of words to get the message across. Although direct language is easier to understand, in some instances we respond better to more creative wording. For example, writers like to use figurative language to build imagery and give words more power. Idioms are considered some of the highest levels of language processing and some students with language impairments struggle with understanding the meaning of these figurative language.

This is a lesson plan designed to deeped understanding of real world, multistep math problems for the 5th grade. It could be adapted to any grade level. Students will need to understand basic math operations and apply them to either act out a real world problem, or act as the teacher and take a deep dive in how to solve the problem presented. It is designed mostly to use with metric and customary conversions, but could be applied to any real world problem.

This lesson is for Pre-K as part of a Healthy Foods and Food Groups Unit. Students will take photos of foods they eat and then sort photos into 5 food groups.
The is a google sites learning hub all about force and motion. There are different activities that cover what force is, pushing and pulling, and simple machines. There is also a fun activity to learn about some famous scientist (some of whom contributed to the knowledge we have of force). Activities included use google earth, google forms, google slides, and other google tools.
Welcome to a Fractions Review with Mr. J (Spanish version)! Need a refresher on how to add fractions, subtract fractions, multiply fractions, and/or divide fractions? Everyone needs a refresher from time to time, so this video is for you if you're looking for help with fractions. Mr. J will go through examples of adding fractions (like and unlike denominators), subtracting fractions (like and unlike denominators), multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions.
About Math with Mr. J: This channel offers instructional videos that are directly aligned with math standards. Teachers, parents/guardians, and students from around the world have used this channel to help with math content in many different ways. All material is absolutely free.
Mr. J is very good at walking you step by step to teach you upper grade math, 5-6 grade math. I like using his videos to teach my students in class. I can pause it and have them use their white boards to practice with Mr. J to understand how to do the lesson step by step.
Students will learn the elements of a Fairy Tale. Students will learn what a fractured fairy tale is. Students will write their own version of a fractured fairy tale. Students will then make a storyboard, script, and video of the fractioned fairy tale they wrote.Red Hen, Photo by Ellie Burgin: https://www.pexels.com/photo/portrait-of-yellow-hen-12513114/, Photo is free to use.
This lesson is created and intended for a Photography 1 classroom at the 10-12 grade level. This lesson teaches students about composition techniques to help improve their photographic compositions. Before teaching this lesson, you may want to review other easier composition techniques with your students (ie. Rule of Thirds, Angle of View, and Filling the Frame). This lesson is interactive, using Nearpod Presentations to teach the main concept. This lesson can be used in an entirely virtual classroom, or an in- person clasroom! It is flexible & fun for all types of learning!
.
This lesson uses Nearpod to examine the positive and negative elements of using social media. The resource uses a video, collaboration and interactive strategies to explore the ways that social media can effect the lives of teenagers.
This lesson plan is about how to use Genius Hour teaching to individualize and deepen students' learning in a general topic.

This resource is for teachers to aid students through the expeditionary and inquiry-based learning process of Genius Hour. Genius Hour is a passion project students can participate in using 20% of class time every week (about 1 hour). They will learn how to ask good questions around a topic they're interested in, conduct research, and ultimately produce and present evidence from their findings.Time frame: 1 hour per week every term (About 10 hours)Format: asynchronous, virtual, or in class with groups
In this course, you will study the relationships between lines and angles. You will learn to calculate how much space an object covers, determine how much space is inside of a three-dimensional object, and other relationships between shapes, objects, and the mathematics that govern them.
This lesson is a fun way to help students understand that geometry is all around us! Students will have the opportunity to explore structures both virtually and in-person, helping them discover the significance of angles and shapes in architecture.Image Credit: "DSC_2072 geometry in architecture - Manchester" by Filip Patock is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 via Flickr
Getting to Know Utah
In this Nearpod VR States lesson, students explore what makes Utah unique. They investigate Utah’s defining characteristics, including: its geography, history, landmarks, industry, and culture.
This is a great Nearpod on getting to know Utah. I used this in migrant summer school this year, I taught 6th grade and my students learned a great deal about the state they live in. They really found it to be useful and informative.
This is a fun lesson to help students navigate through iMovie while forming a video presentation to introduce themselves to their classmates. Image Credit: https://openclipart.org/detail/291674/little-owl-friends
In order to assist educators with the implementation of the Common Core, the New York State Education Department provides curricular modules in P-12 English Language Arts and Mathematics that schools and districts can adopt or adapt for local purposes. The full year of Grade 7 Mathematics curriculum is available from the module links.
This Graphic Design 1 curriculum is a comprehensive semester long course in digital media that uses Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I started updating this curriculum in the Spring of 2018 and so, if you access the UPDATED GD 1 Curriculum, you will see the most recent additions to my course and have access to all my teaching materials including presentations, lesson plans, video tutorials, student examples, self evaluations and rubrics. Anything highlighted in yellow is in development. Check back often for updates and don't hesitate to message me if you are looking for something specific. Thanks for checking this out!
