Great Depression: Virtual Gallery Walk
CREATOR: Amanda Lepore @mslepore
Instagram: @historyandadvocacy
Venmo: @Amanda-Lepore
Content: Social Studies
Content Focus: US History
Grade Level: 5
Description: This is a virtual gallery walk. Ideally, you would assign the "Worksheet" one to your students and link to the gallery walk on there. The best way to link to it is to go to Share > Copy Link > at the end of the URL, change “edit” to “present” Doing it this way will show it in "presentation view" which helps make it feel more "interactive" and less like a Google Slide.

Venmo: @Amanda-Lepore
Content: Social Studies
Content Focus: US History
Grade Level: 5
Description: This is a Google Slides activity. It can be 100% student-led or can be teacher-led. The beginning slides describe the King George III statue in New York City and what happened to it at the beginning of the war. Then it moves into an anthropologist's take on the events. It ends by having students read a ProCon article on the Confederate statue debate and then answering questions regarding it. This activity is designed to be 100% virtual.
NOTE: You can change the background easily by going into "Master" view if you do not want the current background.

Floor is Lava: First Day Activity
CREATOR: Amanda Lepore @mslepore
Instagram: @historyandadvocacy
Venmo: @Amanda-Lepore
Content: All
Grade Level: all
Description:
I’m obsessed with the game show “Floor is Lava” on Netflix so I took a template I found on Edrenaline Rush and created a game board for the first day of school. I included instructions in the “Notes” part of each slide so teachers know how to edit/what to do. Make sure you go back and actually put your links in!
