AP Gov Court Case and Foundational Document Review

 Below you will find review activities for the required court cases and foundational documents. I call them card sorts because originally they had cut out cards to match but that became to much to manage, so I just made the documents below and they created a color code if there were fewer than 7 different choices. I will update as I go, but here is what I have so far.

**IMPORTANT**

If you can't open a file, it's because your school district blocks access to files outside your domain. 

If you want to edit the files, you must make a copy of the file. Please do not request access to edit the files.

I included the student document and the answer key slide deck for each activity. 

Card Sort Cases 1-8 (Citizens United, Engel, Lopez, Marbury, McCulloch, NY Times, Schenck and Tinker)

Teacher Slides for Card Sort Cases 1-8

Card Sort Cases 1- 7 (Citizens United, Lopez, Marbury, McCulloch, NY Times, Schenck and Tinker)

Help our Entrepreneurship Students!

Our Entrepreneurship class is collecting data about subscription box businesses they are in the midst of creating. 

In order to go forward, they need your input!

Each survey takes less than a minute and each has the same questions, so they get quicker as you go.

Even if you are only able to do a couple, we appreciate the feedback and your time! Feel free to have your classes fill them out as well.

Local Business Reviews

Want to have the kids put some good out into the world?

Want the kids to have an impact on your local community?

Need a one day activity?

Google Reviews are something I do with my students at least once a semester.

If you find this helpful and feel so inclined, my Venmo for coffee is @Rachel-Murat

A couple notes:

1. This is public on the web, so if you can't access it, it is most likely your domain settings. 

2. Make sure when you open the slide deck you are in your school domain to make sure the slide deck will open for the kids. 

3. The rubrics are screenshots that I incorporated as the background so that they loaded faster for students doing this at a place that doesn't have robust wifi. What does that mean? That means you can't edit the rubrics, but you can quickly make one of your  own by inserting a table and typing in what you want and getting rid of what you don't. 

Here is the slide deck

Happy reviewing! 

US History Review Resources

Hello!

I know many of us are feeling a lot of angst as we barrel towards the June 1st, 2023 administration of the US History Regents!

If you are in search of a pacing guide and/or resources, I have linked mine here. 

I will only have about 2.5 weeks for review, so I am trying to cram as many things in here as I can.

If you find this helpful and feel so inclined, my Venmo for coffee is @Rachel-Murat

A couple notes:

1. This is public on the web, so if you can't access it, it is most likely your domain settings. 

2. You will have to make a copy of anything you want to edit.

3. The Google Forms I have linked are just for you to see how I do that part of review. (I have the kids enter in their answers to the HW as their bell ringer so I have the data on which questions we need to go over). You will NOT be able to see any of the data, so you will NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN GOOGLE FORMS. 

4. Teacher hack! I made one Google Form, set it up the way I wanted to (made it a quiz, answers released automatically, 10 questions, name question, 4 choices for each question) and then just simply made a copy of it for the subsequent 9 assignments. All you have to do is change the name of it and input the correct answers for each assignment. The entire process took me less than 20 minutes. 

5. All of the Quizlet and Blooket games linked are able to be accessed by your students, unless your domain prohibits it. The Blooket games are set to expire 14 days after I created them, so I will do my best to make sure I reauthorize them before they run out. 

6. The Review Session Google Doc is also not going to allow you to see your student's answers, so you will need to create your own. 

7. Teacher Hack! I set up the Google Sheets that is populated from the Google Form to send me a notification when someone signs up for a review session. This means I don't have to keep checking it.

8. I am sending this home to each of the parents/guardians of my 55 US History students so they are aware of what is out there for review, the expectations and what review sessions are available. 

9. The drag and drop on the bottom of the calendar will only work if the students make a copy of it. Once they do that, they can drag and drop on each of the slides. If this doesn't work for them, it is most likely that they didn't make a copy of it or your domain restricts it.

10. If you have any questions, my email is rmurat@me.stier.org

Happy Reviewing!

HS Semester Long Psychology Resources

It's been a minute since I taught Psychology, so I am recreating this class as I go this semester.  Feel free to keep checking back regularly as I will continue to add to it. 

Some units are missing because I purchased items from TpT and I cannot share those for free as they are not mine to share. 

Before you use them, you will want to

1. Go to File and Make a Copy of each file you are going to use.  This will enable you to edit them.
2. Check all links to make sure they are still active and are accessible in your domain.
3. Decide how you want to push these out to your kids.
4. Edit what you need.  There are some slide decks that have been compressed so they are more accessible to students at home.  This means you can't edit the slides, but you can always insert one of your own slides and delete the one of mine you don't want. 

I cannot emphasize how important it is that you check every single link INSIDE your domain to make sure that your students will be able to access the resources. 

All of the files are public on the web, if you click on a file and it asks to request permission, it is because your school domain does not allow you to access files created outside your domain.  If that is the case, you will need to open it with your personal Gmail account and then share it with your school account, and then open your school Drive and go to Shared With Me.

If you feel so inclined, my Venmo for coffee is @Rachel-Murat (last 4 of my cell are 9476).

I send the journal to be copied and spiral bound. It is half the width of a piece of paper, so you can two journals out of one spiral binding. 

You do not have permission to resell these on any platform.

Food Truck Project Resources

As an introduction to our final entrepreneurial competition, we do the Food Truck Project. This enables us to hone the skills we will need for the regional competition in which we innovate our own product or services and do a Shark Tank like pitch, including creating a business plan and trade show booth to local business owners.

DigCit Summit: Civic Readiness Resources

Welcome! 

As mentioned in our session at the DigCit Summit, we have some resources for you to peruse as you dive deeper into the DigCit space. 

From our Superintendent, Jason VanFossen:

Back in 2013 I designed a semester long Digital Leadership course for grades 9-12.  It has evolved over time and now that Digital Citizenship is part of our K-12 curriculum, it has morphed into a Digital Leadership course.  Linked below are past blog posts describing activities as well as my Google Drive folder of activities. 

I added in gold boxes as a cue to the students that they needed to type something on the slides.  I also included tutorials to help students review what their tasks are.  

If you encounter a slide that the students can't type on, simply have them insert a text box. 

Before you use them, you will want to

1. Go to File and Make a Copy of each file you are going to use.  This will enable you to edit them.
2. Check any links to make sure they are still active and are accessible in your domain.
3. Decide how you want to push these out to your kids.

4. Edit what you need.  There are some slide decks that have been compressed so they are more accessible to students at home.  This means you can't edit the slides, but you can always insert one of your own slides and delete the one of mine you don't want. 

I cannot emphasize how important it is that you check every single link INSIDE your domain to make sure that your students will be able to access the resources. 

All of the files are public on the web, if you click on a file and it asks to request permission, it is because your school domain does not allow you to access files created outside your domain.  If that is the case, you will need to open it with your personal Gmail account and then share it with your school account, and then open your school Drive and go to Shared With Me.

You have my permission to share these with your students and colleagues as long as you give me credit on them.  You do NOT have permission to sell these on any site.
