7th Grade Social Studies Presentation
This 10-slide presentation is designed for 7th-grade social studies and includes a Do Now, learning objectives, vocabulary with student-friendly definitions, direct instruction for note-taking, and a class activity. It also incorporates strategies for student discourse, movement, voice levels, participation, and time, with sentence stems to support academic language.
“Create a lesson plan slide show for 7th grade social studies. I need a Do Now, Learning Objectives and TEKs (TEKs need to be aligned with 7th grade social studies) with a focus question related to TEKs/STAAR, Vocabulary (with easy and simple to write definitions for students), Direct Instruction for note taking that is simple and easy to understand for students and flows right into a class activity for my students (my classroom is set up for white board, left or right debate, 4 corners, class debate, etc.), then a Exit Ticket. M.R.S. strategies for every student activity with Movement, Voice Level, Means of Participation, and Time. Continue building intentional student discourse opportunities. Increase structured turn-and-talk moments where students are required to process and verbalize their thinking. Ensure sentence stems are clearly posted and consistently referenced so students are supported in using academic language.”
