I am a new teacher and need ideas on how everyone teaches history and science vocabulary words. What ways do you motivate them to do their homework or study these words? Do you allow any of it to be an easy daily grade or "give me" daily grade as a reward for those that complete the assignments? Let them use notes etc on tests? Brain Dumps? Etc?
My district just purchased this series. I have not had a social studies text for the last 7 years, so I'm looking for pros, cons, how you use it, what you like, what you don't like, etc. Thanks so much!
The kids had to a lot of the work at home(doing the actual experiment, collecting the materials needed for the display and doing the finishing touches on the display), but there was a lot of research done at school. They kept all their research on a computer that the kids had access to at home. The science teacher was overseeing the project so there was less parent doing the work. There was a huge discrepancy between the final results of various projects. There were the ones that had titles so technical a regular person had no clue to very simple ideas but related to a student's interest like what is the best choice of cat food for a pet.
I have a lot of experience with visual presentations and it was easy to see which presentations were done totally by an 11 year old and which ones had adult help.
Maybe the final grade could be on the projects that met all the criteria and less on the presentation. If kids come from a home with all the resources because parents can afford them, it doesn't seem fair to those kids who can't afford press on letters, etc
Personally, as a parent, I have experiences with both doing it all at home(yuck) and doing it all in clasd(obviously preferred ). Seems like the blending of the two might be the most fair way.
There is no way the parent issue can be dealt with 100% and, actually, I do not mind that the parent is interested and wants their child to do their best. What I have done, in some cases, with 6th grade in particular, is we have done science experiments, in class, together and then I permit them to do their own, following the model and method I show them. They don't even realize they are doing a potential "science fair project" until the whole thing is completed because I carefully avoid use of the term until we finis. One year our school took awards in 5 out of 6 categories at our school system science fair, when I did this. I am not big into "winning" as I think just completing a well done ;project aka experiment is the most important thing.
bill T/Flyou've already gotten some excellent advice. I've 31+ years of experience, most of it doing middle school science and social studies.

I wouldn't do anything else,but a couple of cautions...there is always that, right? That would be true no matter where you were or what you were doing. But I do digress... Some say that middle schoolers are indifferent and apathetic. NOT in my experience. Sure they can be hormonal and difficult but each level of education has its challenges. For me, the little ones are too clingy and needy and one cannot usually go into depth on anything with them. Besides, the emphasis is always on math and reading, which I guess isn't because those ARE survival sklills and will determine success or failure in other things. I've little experience at the high school level so cannot make an adequate comparison. Middle schoolers are filled with passion, about many things, mostly the ones involving them. Deann was absolutely right in saying that if they know you care about them and about what you are teaching, that is KEY. And they will know, instantly if you really want to teach them or be with them; forget fooling them. You cannot.
it also helps to have a healthy sense of humor. I have a fairly twisted one and they love it.

Some educators oppose gamification in the classroom. What do you think about the concept as described in the article?
Deann MarinPlaying learning games is a wonderful way to motivate your students. Whenever we have a test we play question and answer games, sometimes in groups and sometimes as whole class. They love playing SCOOT games and they are very effective.
I am trying to create a tool for teachers to aid the process of learning names and faces of students in the beginning of the school year. I am conducting a survey regarding to this and it would really help me out if you can spend 5 minutes on this short survey. I appreciate your input in advance. Have a great evening.
Not only were they simply copying, they were doing it poorly. When I’d question their methodology and suggest that they were plagiarizing, they were adamant that they were not plagiarizing because what they wrote did not look exactly the same as the text from which they were copying. Finally, through trial and error, I discovered that if students read a paragraph, then covered it, then stated what they read in one sentence, they could often summarize the paragraph in their own words.
Summarizing allows students to re-frame their understanding by identifying key facts and concepts, filing information away in long-term memory in a more concise way. Much research has been done on the efficacy of summarizing. Marzano, Pickering, and Pollack do an excellent job of compiling and presenting that research in teacher-friendly terms.
Here are four great ways to teach summarizing skills to your students. {Click below for the full article. Our content is always free, but please do support our sponsors.)
