In the 1920s, there was a blossoming of all kinds of art made by African Americans in the New York neighborhood Harlem. Let's call it a renaissance. While all the arts were having a great run, some extremely interesting things were happening in the theater. Writers like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston were writing plays, and black theater companies were drawing larger audiences than ever before.

Students research, evaluate, and synthesize information about the Harlem Renaissance from varied resources, create an exhibit, and highlight connections across disciplines (i.e., art, music, and poetry) using a Venn diagram.

In this lesson, students investigate sources of fossil fuels, particularly oil. Students will learn how engineers and scientists look for oil by taking core samples from a model of the Earth. Also, students will explore and analyze oil consumption and production in the United States and around the world.

This is a challenging task, suitable for extended work, and reaching into a deep understanding of units. The task requires students to exhibit MP1, Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. An algebraic solution is possible but complicated; a numerical solution is both simpler and more sophisticated, requiring skilled use of units and quantitative reasoning. Thus the task aligns with either A-CED.1 or N-Q.1, depending on the approach.

This is a generic lesson that can be done for any character trait - or any content area.
Writing hashtags engage the students and highlight what is important to remember.

Students compose a multigenre paper, modeled after the Delany sister's autobiography, "Having Our Say", that includes the autobiographical narrative essay as well as an informational nonfiction piece.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate some of the different parts of an airplane through the construction of a paper airplane.

Health Science 20 - Excrement Lab & Case Studies - Dakota de Caux
In order to explore diagnostic techniques and pathologies associated with the urinary and digestive systems, I had students complete an excrement lab activity and diagnose case studies related to the samples that they analyzed. During the lab, they conducted macroscopic and chemical analysis of teacher created urine and stool samples. Based on their data, they were asked to discuss potential pathologies that could be causing they symptoms that they observed. Once the lab reports were complete, each student was assigned a case study that was connected to a specific urine or feces sample and were asked to come up with a diagnosis that they would present to the class. Students were given two class periods to conduct their research and put together their presentations.
This activity gave students the opportunity to apply their knowledge of the digestive and excretory systems while also making connections to real life medical applications through the completion of artificial excrement analysis and case study diagnosis. Students were noticeably engaged during all segments of this activity. The knowledge and skills that students acquired will help them be critical when discussing their own medical results with health care professionals. The case study portion of the activity encouraged students to locate reliable sources and recognize the need for additional test results or patient history in order to determine a diagnosis because certain excrement results can suggest numerous pathologies. We also discussed the importance of patient honesty in the selection of a correct diagnosis. This learning activity and assessment strategy encourages the development of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and computer/digital technologies.

Purpose:

The purpose of this activity is to preform an analysis on a variety of urine and stool samples in order to understand the procedure and purpose of these tests in the health care world.

This lesson plan helps students explore the concept that health is a basic human right. Primary sources -- Article 25 of the "U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and Article 1 of the "Declaration of Alma-Ata" -- are used to help students define health and human rights, and to build a connection between the two. Students apply the concept of health as a basic human right by analyzing case studies from the Against the Odds exhibition
