This tutorial is designed to challenge your understanding of plagiarism and the ethical use of sources in academic writing. You will see ten samples of source material and ten corresponding examples of student writing. It is up to you to determine if the student has used each source responsibly.

At the end of this exercise, you will be asked to list three best practices for using sources responsibly. These rules and your results can be shared with your professor.

For these lessons, students will be taken through a variety of activities to learn about plagiarism. They will learn what plagiarism is, the consequence for it, how to paraphrase writing, when to use direct quotes, and how to cite. This is a wonderful webquest for students to go through.

This resource gives information about our solar system which is made up of the sun, planets and all the amazing objects that travel around it. Information about the plant sizes, distances in the solar system and the size and shape of orbits is also explained. The universe is filled with billions of star systems. And the star system we are most familiar with is our own.

These lessons address science, math, and ELA standards. We have a Tower Garden and these lessons focus on parts of plants, plant needs for growth, and comparing differences between plants growing in soil and an Aeroponic gardening system. Students will monitor and graph growth.

Investigate how properties of volcanoes are influenced by the crust and plate boundaries nearest them.

No installation, fees, or logins are necessary to use these materials and software.

This video explains how to plot fraction on the number line. The fractions are between 0 and 1.

This KET animation illustrates positive and negative measurement on a straight line and on a flat plane using a point of origin.

This lesson will ask the students to take a couple of online surveys that will ask them a series of questions about governmental policies and at the end the site will inform them of which party they would most closely align with. This will give the students an opportunity to reflect on their policy choices and why they ended up matching the party they did.

Students take a close look at truss structures, the geometric shapes that compose them, and the many variations seen in bridge designs in use every day. Through a guided worksheet, students draw assorted 2D and 3D polygon shapes and think through their forms and interior angles (mental “testing”) before and after load conditions are applied. They see how engineers add structural members to polygon shapes to support them under compression and tension, and how triangles provide the strongest elemental shape. A PowerPoint® presentation is provided. This lesson prepares students for two associated activities that continue the series on polygons and trusses.

This lesson looks at how to determine the multiplicity of a zero/root of a polynomial function.

Through this lesson, students will be exposed to a variety of basic sight words or "popcorn" words. First they will watch a variety of videos to be introduced to the words. Then they will play a fun game on popcorn words. To end the lessons, students will identify their popcorn words.

This tutorial outlines the differences between different types of sources: scholarly journals, popular magazines, trade journals, newspapers, and book reviews.

This lesson will require students to glean all the purposes that the founding fathers embedded into the preamble, and then by contemplating upon what life is like in America today, grade our country on the completion of these goals. The lesson can be conducted in class, or online in the LMS of your choosing.

In this lesson, students prepare for a text-based discussion in which they will describe threats to human rights in Chapters 4-6 of Esperanza Rising, using both the Esperanza Rising text and the UDHR, and how those threats made them feel. This is in preparation for the end of unit assessment in Lesson 12, in which students will participate in this discussion (RL.5.1, RI.5.1, W.5.9a, SL.5.1a).
The lesson is written for "Las Cebollas" to be a teacher read-aloud, but this can be organized in different ways to meet the needs of your students. For example, students could read the chapter in pairs or triads, taking turns to read, with a teacher-led smaller group of students who need additional support.
Many articles of the UDHR could be applied to each chapter. Students may make suggestions other than those recorded on the How Were the Human Rights of the Characters in Esperanza Rising Threatened? anchor chart (example, for teacher reference).
In this lesson, the Structure of Esperanza Rising anchor chart is not updated, as students will be required to do this in Part II of the end of unit assessment in Lesson 12 to assess RL.5.5.
At the end of the lesson, students continue to hear A Life like Mine read aloud to make connections with Esperanza in Esperanza Rising. The purpose of this text is to help students understand that home may mean different things to different people.
Continue to use Goal 1 Conversation Cues to promote productive and equitable conversation.
In this lesson, the habit of character focus is on working to become an ethical person. The characteristics that students practice are respect, empathy, and compassion as they prepare for a collaborative discussion in which they discuss how they feel about the threats to human rights.
Students practice their fluency in this lesson by following along and reading silently in their heads as the teacher reads "Las Cebollas" from Esperanza Rising during Opening B.
The research reading that students complete for homework will help build both their vocabulary and knowledge pertaining to human rights. By participating in this volume of reading over a span of time, students will develop a wide base of knowledge about the world and the words that help describe and make sense of it.

For this assignment, students will review prepositions through an activity, a video, and a website. They will have an opportunity to prove their knowledge through a Quiz game and a worksheet. Once they understand how to write prepositions, they will end the lesson by using prepositions to describe a room in their house. They can share their assignment through Voicethread or a Padlet.

Learn what the futures of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes are, and how the tribes will retain their culture and tradition while preparing to move into the future? In the accompanying lesson plan (found in the Support Materials) students will understand the importance of education and perservation of the culture.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Students will demonstrate an understanding about the importance of education and preservation of the language and culture among the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribe from the past, present, and future.
Students will learn about the Federal Indian Policy to civilize Native Americans through the establishment of Native American Boarding Schools incorporating key vocabulary words.

Students will discuss the development of Indian boarding schools in the United States and Wyoming.
Students will analyze the differences between the early educational experiences of the Native American and non-native students.
Students will examine the importance of education as a value that the Shoshone, Arapaho, and non-native communities share.

The presidential election of 1824 represents a watershed in American politics. The collapse of the Federalist Party and the illness of the "official candidate" of the Democratic-Republicans led to a slate of candidates who were all Democratic-Republicans. This led to the end of the Congressional Caucus system for nominating candidates, and eventually, the development of a new two-party system in the United States. In this unit, students will read an account of the election from the Journal of the House of Representatives, analyze archival campaign materials, and use an interactive online activity to develop a better understanding of the election of 1824 and its significance.
