The Monroe Doctrine opposed European colonization in the Americas and was announced in 1823.

Nazism
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany through his charismatic leadership of the Nazi party and by capitalizing on German citizens' desire to restore national pride and economic stability after World War 1 and the Great Depression.

After the war, he became involved in far-right politics and transformed the small German Workers' Party into the Nazi party.

Bjmc i, met, unit-i,, origins of the newspaper
This document provides an overview of the origins and development of newspapers from the 15th century to modern times. It discusses how newspapers began as handwritten newsletters in Renaissance Europe, then evolved to printed news pamphlets in Germany in the late 1400s. The first true newspaper in English was the London Gazette in 1666. Newspapers began appearing in the American colonies in the late 1600s and played an important role in influencing public opinion leading up to the American Revolution. The document then outlines key developments in newspapers through the 19th and early 20th centuries, including the emergence of penny papers, growth during the Civil War and Industrial Revolution, and the rise of modern newspaper features.
Thomas paine 2 slides
Thomas Paine wrote influential pamphlets like "Common Sense" that helped start the American Revolution by stoking resentment against the British Crown, and later wrote "The Age of Reason" criticizing religion while facing imprisonment in France. He emigrated from England to America in 1774 and played a key role in the American Revolutionary movement through his writings that challenged the status quo and established him as the "Father of the American Revolution", though he was later discredited by many for his controversial views.
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was a founding father of the United States who signed the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France, the Treaty between England and France, and the U.S. Constitution. He made important contributions to science as an inventor and physicist, inventing the lightning rod and discovering electricity. Franklin held many roles, including postmaster of Philadelphia, president of Pennsylvania, and ambassador to France. He was a prolific writer and publisher who founded the Pennsylvania Gazette and wrote Poor Richard's Almanack.

Rti
Small group tutoring is provided to students who are struggling based on progress monitoring data, with weekly assessments to check their response. Those who respond well return to regular classes with ongoing checks, while non-responders move to more intensive support including possible special education. All students are screened and monitored regularly to determine if extra help is needed, and special education students have individualized plans and monitoring to check progress and see if they can return to less support.
Marzano’S Best Practices And Instructional Strategies
Marzano's research identifies several effective instructional strategies that can improve student learning across content areas including identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note taking, reinforcing effort and providing recognition, and setting objectives and providing feedback. These strategies require specific implementation techniques and teacher feedback to achieve their full effect on student learning as reported in research. While cooperative learning and other strategies can be effective, students also need time for independent skill practice and not all strategies work in every situation.
Pyramid Game
The document describes an academic vocabulary pyramid game with different levels corresponding to grade levels from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. Each level includes vocabulary words or concepts associated with that grade level and the number of points earned for correctly answering questions about each one.
Equations
1) The document contains examples of equations using variables to represent unknown quantities and solve word problems.
2) The equations show using letters like P to represent prices, W to represent weeks, and S to represent total savings to calculate totals.
3) Several word problems are presented that can be solved using equations that relate the variable representing an unknown quantity like number of items or weeks to other known variables and values.
6 Steps
The document outlines a 6 step process for teaching academic vocabulary:
1) The teacher introduces the term and provides a student-friendly explanation and examples.
2) Students restate the term in their own words using their background knowledge.
3) Students represent the term visually through drawings or other graphics.
4) Students use the term in other contexts to deepen their understanding.
5) Students discuss the term with peers to add to their understanding.
6) Vocabulary games provide further exposure to reinforce the term.
To Measure Something One Must
To measure something, one must first decide what attribute will be measured, such as length, weight, or volume. Then a standard unit for that attribute must be selected, such as centimeters or grams. The object to be measured is compared to the standard unit to see how many units it takes to match the attribute. For example, to measure the volume of a bucket, one could see how many cups of water it takes to fill the bucket. Standard measuring tools can also be used to quantify attributes, but comparisons must still be made to the standard units.
Personal Mastery2
Personal Mastery is a set of practices that support people in keeping their dreams whole while also cultivating an awareness of their current reality. This creates a tension between what one has and what one wants that naturally seeks resolution, so children try to move reality closer to their dreams.
Measurement Attribute
This document defines and provides examples of common measurement attributes used in science including length, area, perimeter, volume, capacity, time, weight/mass, and angles. Examples include measuring the length of a piece of paper using different units, comparing the areas of different rectangles, determining which rectangles can be made with a given perimeter, ordering containers by volume and capacity, timing a pendulum swing, and measuring angles with a protractor. Standard units provided include inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, kilograms, grams, seconds, minutes, hours, and degrees.
Measurement And Geometry Bav
The document lists geometry and measurement terms organized by grade level including: kindergarten terms like circle, square, triangle, length, and time; 1st grade terms like inch, foot, hour, and temperature; 2nd grade terms like fractions, gallons, pounds, and symmetry; 3rd grade terms like area, perimeter, faces, and metric units; 4th grade terms like angles, parallel, perpendicular, and rotation; and 5th grade terms like metric prefixes, plane, and straight angle.
Developing Measurement Concepts
Measurement involves comparing an attribute of an item to a standard unit with the same attribute, such as comparing lengths to units of length. To measure meaningfully, one must understand the attribute being measured and be familiar with the unit of measure used. Estimating measurements and benchmarks for common units helps increase familiarity and prevent errors, aiding meaningful use of measurement. Measurement instruments replace direct use of units, so it is important to understand how they work for correct, meaningful use. Area and volume formulas allow measuring using only length measures. Area, perimeter, and volume are related though not precisely, as shapes change but maintain the same area or volume.
Assessments
Progress monitoring involves regularly testing critical reading skills to determine if a student is making adequate progress and whether instruction needs modification to accelerate reading achievement. Diagnostic tests measure a variety of skills and are given if extra help is not resulting in adequate progress to precisely plan instruction. Screening tests provide an initial assessment of a student's preparation to identify those who may need extra help to make sufficient progress in reading.
Character First
The document provides definitions, I will statements, quotes, synonyms, and antonyms for 12 character traits - one for each month of the year. The traits are faith, responsibility, patience, initiative, self-control, punctuality, resourcefulness, tolerance, creativity, discretion. For each trait there is a definition, examples of how to demonstrate that trait through "I will" statements, an antonym and synonym, and supporting quotes about the importance of that trait.
Personal Mastery 4
Children and adults alike are motivated to learn new skills that will help them achieve purposes and visions they have, such as playing with friends, gaining independence, or communicating with family. Lifelong learning allows people to actively engage with life and work toward creating their desired futures.
Personal Master 3
Learning is most effective when sparked by the learner's own interest and curiosity, as this allows learners to see where they want to go and assess where they currently are. For learning to be enduring, it requires the learner's ardent interest and assessment of their own progress. Effective learning happens when driven by the learner's own motivation to understand.
Personal Master 1
Teachers act as coaches to help students achieve personal mastery. This coaching begins with how teachers view their students - with an open mind to each child's potential and a belief that they can achieve their dreams and aspirations regardless of any limits, background, or obstacles they face.
