The Physical Geography of the Americas
The document discusses the physical geography and history of the Americas. It outlines the major geographic regions, including western and eastern highlands, lowlands, and describes how the first Americans migrated from Asia thousands of years ago. By 1500, there were over 10 million indigenous people divided into 350 tribes speaking around 150 languages. Notable pre-Columbian civilizations that developed included the Aztecs, Incas, and Maya, with each civilization facing unique geographic obstacles in their environment.
New ideas in Renaissance Art
The document discusses new ideas in Renaissance art compared to Medieval art, including the use of perspective to depict distance and scale more realistically, creating more anatomically accurate and realistic depictions of people, incorporating nature and scenes of everyday life, and portraying religious topics in new ways without halos or unrealistic features. It provides examples like Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical studies, van Eyck's portraits, and Renaissance versions of religious works like The Last Supper that used realistic perspective and people without halos.
Timbuktu
Timbuktu was an ancient center of Islamic learning and trade in Africa, founded in the 11th century by Tuareg nomads. It grew to be a major trading center for the Mali and Songhai empires, with a renowned university and over 100 Qur'an schools hosting 25,000 scholars. However, it was sacked by Morocco in 1591 and its trade routes declined as sea routes became dominant, leading to its fall from prominence.
The Hajj
The document summarizes the key rituals and sites associated with the Hajj pilgrimage. It describes circling the Kaaba, walking between Safa and Marwah, drinking from the Zamzam well, spending time in prayer at Arafat, throwing stones in Mina, and shaving one's head at the end as a symbol of rebirth. The Hajj is considered the fifth pillar of Islam and the greatest pilgrimage, called the Al Hajjul Akbar.
Geography of the Middle East
The document provides information about the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam. It is located in the northern hemisphere and western hemisphere. The peninsula experiences extreme temperatures and is home to many deserts, including the Nafud, Syrian, and Empty Quarter deserts. Transportation is primarily by camel and horse.

Cultural adaptations include clothing, tents that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and religious customs.
Why Do We Have To Take Social Studies?
Social studies is required by law and tradition in schools. Studying history helps students understand the present and be inspired, as learning about explorers like Ernest Shackleton shows that history can be an interesting subject that students can enjoy learning as part of a group.
Finding the Main Idea
The document provides tips for identifying the main idea of a paragraph. It states that nonfiction writers usually include one main idea per paragraph in the topic sentence, which typically comes at the beginning. It can also occasionally be at the end. When the main idea is not clear from the topic sentence, it can be identified by counting the number of sentences dedicated to each topic and selecting the one discussed most as the main idea.
Predicting
The document discusses making predictions when reading texts. It explains that making predictions helps with understanding and remembering what is read. It notes that people naturally build "schemas" or patterns in their minds about how different types of stories are structured. As an example, it prompts the reader to predict what a story about a school dress code may discuss. Finally, it reminds readers to confirm their predictions after reading to assess whether they were right or wrong. The summary is contained in 3 sentences as requested.
Summarizing
A 73-year-old Kenyan farmer was attacked by a leopard while working in his fields. The leopard knocked the farmer to the ground and bit his wrist, mauling him with its claws. Somehow finding the strength, the farmer reached into the leopard's mouth and tore out its tongue, killing it. A neighbor then arrived and finished off the leopard with a machete, saving the farmer.
Practice: Going Below the Surface
Turner heard a weather forecast predicting rain so he grabbed his umbrella to take to the bus stop even though it was sunny. The wife tells her husband she doesn't want an expensive gift for her birthday but will buy herself a small present at the mall using her old car, implying she wants a new car. Jessica chose Kurt in the game since he was the last player left, implying she was pleased to have him on her team.
Going Below the Surface
The document discusses the concept of "going below the surface" or inferring, which means figuring things out that are not directly stated by looking for clues and context cues provided by the author. It provides examples that require inferring events from the past, characters' thoughts and feelings, settings of stories based on details and context clues. The examples span situations like inferring what happened in class based on a new rule, understanding the context and situation of a wild west story based on descriptions, and determining what grade bullies are in based on their taunts and context.
Fixing Broken Comprehension
The document discusses strategies for understanding difficult words encountered while reading. It identifies three methods writers use: 1) including the definition in the same sentence, 2) providing the definition in the next sentence, and 3) using context clues. It then provides examples of sentences using an made-up word, "ABBA-ZABBA", and asks the reader to identify what item is being referred to in each example based on the context or nearby definition.
Visualizing Practice
The document describes Tom building a fence around his rectangular pool. It states that there are four posts along the width and eight posts along the length of the pool. Therefore, the total number of posts Tom needs is four plus eight, which is twelve.
Reading Strategies: Visualizing
The document discusses the importance of visualization when reading. It provides common phrases related to visualization like "let me draw you a map" and "a picture is worth a thousand words." Clear writing can help the reader visualize what they are reading as if seeing a movie in their head, a map in front of them, or a photograph in their mind. It then provides a math word problem asking how many cubes it would take to build an eleven step staircase if six cubes were used to build a three step staircase.
Text-To-Self Connections
The document describes several short passages from news articles and stories followed by text-to-self reflection prompts. A student shares that a food fight in their school cafeteria last year caused chaos similar to an article about 7 students being arrested. Another student discusses noisy neighbors similar to an article about a couple using a rooster sound system to disturb theirs. A third student reflects on not enjoying PE class like a character struggling with a forward roll.
GRAPES: The Big Ideas of Social Studies
The document outlines the key concepts covered in a social studies PowerPoint presentation called G.R.A.P.E.S. It examines how geography, religion, achievements, political systems, economics, and social structure shape civilizations. For each concept, it provides an example of how it influenced an ancient civilization such as how the Nile River shaped Egypt or the Ten Commandments influenced Hebrew society.
Silent Reading: Why and How
The document discusses silent reading and provides tips for choosing books to read silently. It explains that people learn most new words from talking and reading. Students who read more pages per day are more likely to score higher on reading tests. Some students dislike silent reading because books are too hard or boring. The solution is to find books at an appropriate reading level to build reading skills. The document also provides examples of summarizing books based on reading their back covers in a standard format.
Writing the Hamburger Paragraph
The document provides instructions for writing a "hamburger paragraph" structure that includes a topic sentence, 3 details sentences, and a concluding sentence that restates the topic sentence. It explains that the topic sentence is the "top bun" and the concluding sentence is the "bottom bun." Between these are 3 "patty" sentences providing information and 1 "cheese" sentence adding further detail for each patty. Examples are given for writing 3-patty and 4-patty hamburger paragraphs on various topics. The reader is then assigned to write a 3-patty hamburger paragraph on how geography affected life in Japan.

Editor's Notes
- This slide uses animations. Pillars are used to hold up structures. In much the same way, the Five Pillars of Islam support the religion.
- This slide uses animations. First thing heard when born. Last thing heard before death.
- Pray five times a day. The towers are minarets. A muezzin would stand there and call the faithful to prayer. It is now often done by recording. Once can pray alone or--especially on Fridays--in large groups.
- When you pray, you are supposed to face Mecca. If you’re in Mecca, you’re supposed to face the Holy Kaaba. Hotels in the Middle East even include arrows designed to help guests know which way to face when they pray. The device is a qibla compass, designed to point toward Kaaba. You can even get electic clock radios with qibla built into them.
- It is an obligation on Muslims to pay 2.5% of their wealth to specified categories in society when their annual wealth exceeds a minimum level. 1. There are eight categories of people who may receive the collected Zakat: 2. The Poor (those who do not have enough to cover their basic needs. This includes anyone of any religion or race) 3. The Destitute (those with no property or income at all) 4. The Collectors 5. People Whose Hearts are to be Reconciled (Normally new Muslims or those close to becoming Muslim. Even non-muslims could be included) 6. Freeing Slaves 7. Debtors (to help those heavily indebted with paying their debts) 8. In the Way of Allah (normally taken to mean helping those fighting [jihad]) 9. Travellers (who find themselves in difficult circumstances)
- Ramadan is ninth month of Islamic calendar, and the month during which the Qur’an was revealed. Based on lunar calendar, so it shifts each year; sometimes it’s during the short days of winter, but sometimes it falls during summer. You can make it up later if you’re sick or traveling. Purity of thought and deed. No man/woman stuff during the day. Build discipline, evoke feelings of sympathy with those less fortunate.
- White garment and shaved head to show purity and rebirth. Stoning the devil. Walking around the holy Kaaba.
