Do Now Checklist - Teach Like a Champion
Grades
K to 12tag(s): classroom management (118), Teacher Utilities (183), teaching strategies (49)
In the Classroom
Use the "Set High Expectations" strategy by having students role-play scenarios demonstrating desired classroom behaviors. Implement the "Choral Responses" strategy, where the whole class answers a question aloud. "Choral Responses" promotes student participation and ensures that everyone is on the same page. Use the "Stretch It" technique, where students are encouraged to elaborate on their answers by asking follow-up questions like "Can you explain that further?" or "What makes you think that?"You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

National Geographic Earthquake Collection - National Geographic
Grades
4 to 10tag(s): earthquakes (45), natural disasters (17), plate tectonics (22)
In the Classroom
Have students use the National Geographic MapMaker tool to plot recent earthquake data. They can identify patterns in earthquake locations and explore how they relate to tectonic plate boundaries. Set up a simple hands-on activity where students build structures using blocks or Jenga pieces. Use a shake table (or improvise one) to simulate an earthquake and observe the impact on their designs. Use the site's interactive diagrams to examine major fault lines like the San Andreas Fault. Pair this with research on historical earthquakes, such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, to analyze causes and effects. Students can work in groups to create a safety guide for their school or home, including what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. They can use a tool like Book Creator, reviewed here or ePubEditor, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
