This lesson provides teachers with support for using text-dependent questions to help students derive big ideas and key understandings while developing vocabulary from the series of poems, Danitra Brown Leaves Town. Danitra and Zuri are two city-girls and best friends, and Danitra goes away to her auntĺ䁥_s house for the summer. These poems tell a story about how the girls stayed in touch by writing letters to each other, and how they discovered that they could have fun apart from one another while still remaining friends.

The purpose of this task is to help students explore the meaning of fraction division and to connect it to what they know about whole-number division.

Ghyslain Raza, le « Star Wars Kid », sort du silence afin de réfléchir à notre soif de contenu et au droit à l’oubli à l’ère numérique.

Il existe une mini-leçon pour cette sélection qui se trouve sur ce site.

"Chaque année, l’École nationale de ballet du Canada charge un.e artiste canadien.ne d’élaborer une chorégraphie qui reflète un thème réfléchi.

Créée par Kimberley Cooper, Eugene Baffoe, Tracee Smith et Roger Sinha, la Chorégraphie Dansons Ensemble avec l’ÉNB de 2023 célèbre le pouvoir de la collaboration ainsi que la diversité et le dynamisme des artistes danseurs canadiens. La chorégraphie originale a été créée en 2017 dans le cadre d’un projet Signature pancanadien à l’occasion de Canada 150, et nous nous réjouissons de présenter, cette année, une nouvelle version de cette œuvre. Des vidéos incluant des instructions détaillées vous guident tout au long de la chorégraphie, que vous souhaitiez investir dans l’apprentissage et l’exécution de l’œuvre complète, ou que vous préfériez explorer seulement une petite partie du matériel.

La chorégraphie est créée en amont de la Journée Dansons ensemble de l’ÉNB, un événement festif national axé autour de la danse qui réunit des dizaines de milliers de personnes issues de communautés à travers le pays."

John Green teaches you about the so-called Dark Ages, which it turns out weren't as uniformly dark as you may have been led to believe. While Europe was indeed having some issues, many other parts of the world were thriving and relatively enlightened. John covers European Feudalism, the cultural blossoming of the Islamic world, and the scientific and artistic advances in China, all during these "Dark Ages." Along the way, John will raise questions about the validity of Europe's status as a continent, reveal the best and worst years of his life, and frankly state that science and religion were once able to coexist.

Propaganda! Misinformation! Disinformation! Today we’re talking about the dark – or, shall we say, darkER – side of media. Understanding these media bogeymen is essential to being a more media literate citizen.

There are resources for two activities 1. Cryptograms: These puzzles are familiar sayings that have been encrypted. Use letter frequencies, letter patterns and your best analytical skills to decode these familiar puzzles that can be found in many puzzle magazines or online. 2. Crypto-lists: These lists were designed to introduce students to code-breaking. Each list contains words that relate to the topic. Use letter frequency and your best analytical skills to decode these lists. Remember that each list uses a different code to encrypt all of the words in that list. Hint: use tally marks to record frequency of each letter in the coded list, then use letter frequency information to break the code. Each activity includes an answer key.

"These three free digital courses introduce students to what data science is and why it matters. Through interactive exercises, students explore foundational data science knowledge, including collecting, visualizing, and understanding data. Data Science Foundations is the 101-course with two extension opportunities in the form of a Financial Wellness and Banking Fraud simulation."
Includes 3 courses:
*foundations
*financial wellness
*banking fraud

Today we’re going to talk about on how we organize the data we use on our devices. You might remember last episode we walked through some sorting algorithms, but skipped over how the information actually got there in the first place! And it is this ability to store and access information in a structured and meaningful way that is crucial to programming. From strings, pointers, and nodes, to heaps, trees, and stacks get ready for an ARRAY of new terminology and concepts.

This task asks the students to solve a real-world problem involving unit rates (data per unit time) using units that many teens and pre-teens have heard of but may not know the definition for. While the computations involved are not particularly complex, the units will be abstract for many students.

This lesson incorporates sea surface data collected by NASA satellites. Data for three surface characteristics- height, temperature and speed- are used for several activities. Students examine the differences in speed of currents relative to distance from the Equator. Sea surface data anomalies are charted and further analyzed. In addition, surface current data is presented to examine patterns related to El Ni̱o. Note that this is lesson three of five on the Ocean Motion website. Each lesson investigates ocean surface circulation using satellite and model data and can be done independently. See Related URL's for links to the Ocean Motion Website that provide science background information, data resources, teacher material, student guides and a lesson matrix.

This art history video discussion examines Gerard David's "The Virgin and Child with Saints and Donor", c. 1510, oil on oak, 105.80 x 144.40 cm (The National Gallery, London).

This lesson introduces the concept of cause and effect with Trinka Hakes Noble's books about Jimmy and his boa constrictor. Each lesson begins with the teacher reading a new story about Jimmy and his boa and the chaos they bring to each place they visit. Class discussions about each event and its cause are followed by tasks for the students to help illustrate understanding of the concept. Students create cause-and-effect pictures, puzzles, and flow charts as they explore the genre. As a culminating activity, students write their own book with causes and effects, which are assessed with a rubric.

As an opportunity to bring technology into the classroom, I chose to take my students on a virtual field trip to the San Diego Zoo. It was a fun way to review some of the learning that we did in the fall. It also allowed me to introduce a new way of experiencing the zoo and a field trip to the students. We used several of the zoo’s live cameras, and actually observed the animals, and then used the videos and web pages to discuss mammals, amphibians, birds, arthropods, and reptiles. Students had a snack, and brought a stuffed animal that they used to share the type of animal, the interactions with humans, and the life cycle as well as the habitat and diet of their animal.

A series of videos and links to information with everything you need to help your students learn about the Legislative Assembly in Saskatchewan!

Students explore the many different ways that engineers provide natural lighting to interior spaces. They analyze various methods of daylighting by constructing model houses from foam core board and simulating the sun with a desk lamp. Teams design a daylighting system for their model houses based on their observations and calculations of the optimal use of available sunlight to their structure.

This art history video dicussion examines Willem de Kooning's "Woman I", oil on canvas, 1950-52 (MoMA).
