Name Description
The Democratic Process: Influences of Modern U.S. Democracy

This is lesson #2 in the text unit series for The Democratic Process by Mark Friedman. Students will build on to the knowledge gained from the previous lesson. The lesson and activities will allow students to be more autonomous with their learning and apply knowledge of primary vs. secondary sources, reliable and unreliable sources, and facts and opinions to identify influences of ancient Greece and Rome on modern day U.S. Democratic Republic through a collaborative research project. Students will identify similarities and differences between ancient Greek and Roman democracies and identify their influences on modern day U.S. Democratic Republic.

The unit will prepare students to understand Greek and Roman influences on democracy in the United States, identify individual rights and freedoms, determine the difference between protected and unprotected rights, examine the rule of law, and evaluate the relevance of modern-day government. The activities in the unit will allow students the opportunity to participate in close reading, annotate text, and collaborate on research projects to gain a deeper understanding of democracy, government, and the rule of law

This resource uses a book that is on the Florida Department of Education's reading list. This book is not provided with this resource.

Researching Rome’s Republic: Part 4

In the fourth and final part of this four-part lesson, students will individually use the research that they and their peers have conducted and presented to respond to a writing prompt. Students will need to analyze the influences of the ancient Roman Republic on America’s constitutional republic, paying special attention to Rome’s representative government and democratic principles.

What's the influence? Part 4

Students will summarize and compare the contributions of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, Pericles, Solon, and Cleisthenes to explain each person’s influence on civic participation and governance in the ancient world. Students will also explore how these leaders' ideas influenced modern day United States government.

This is part 4 of a 4 part series that integrates Civics with Computer Science and Coding.

 
Spotlight: Architecture and Construction

This is lesson 3 of a 6-lesson unit plan. Students will create specific questions to ask individuals invited to a Career showcase event, using one of the attached KWLH charts. Students will be tasked with writing and asking questions regarding one individual’s career such as their skills, abilities, and talents, and the level of training and education they have received. Additionally, using a timeline template, students will prepare questions pertaining to how much time was spent progressing through different stages of their career.

Conflict Resolution in the Workplace

This is lesson two in a three-part lesson series where students research and develop appropriate conflict resolution strategies to be applied in the workplace. In part one of the series, students researched conflict resolution and reviewed examples of both proper and improper workplace conflict resolution strategies. In this lesson, part two of the series, students use the research they conducted in part one to create a conflict resolution plan to use in the workplace. In part three of the series, students will be presented with a conflict and will need to use the plan they’ve created to resolve the conflict.

Analyzing Central Ideas and Details to Answer a Research Question

In this lesson, students will formulate a research question, practice analyzing the central ideas and relevant details of informational texts they locate during a partner research activity, and then synthesize this information into an expository paragraph.

A Lesson on Personification in "blessing the boats" by Lucille Clifton

At the end of the lesson, students will individually write an expository response about the poet’s use of personification and how it contributes to the meaning of the poem.

Text Resource

Name Description
Nobel Awarded for Unveiling How Cells Recycle Their Trash

This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. The article highlights the work of cell biologist, Yoshinori Ohsumi, who won the Nobel Prize for physiology for his research on how cells recycle unused materials in order to maintain homeostasis. Ohsumi studied what the cell did if it started to "starve." He noticed how the cell would start "eating" some of the parts it didn't really need in order to survive. This process is called autophagy. Scientists hope that Ohsumi’s discovery will help find a cure for diseases like Alzheimer's, which is caused by cell trash buildup in the brain.
