It has meant a lot to me to hear your kind words and to know that you are all doing well! Thank you to the Mental Health Advocates of WNY for including this website on their Resource Guide During COVID-19. You can access additional resources from them below. Thank you to everyone at UB's Graduate School of Education for supporting this project and including it on their website of Open Educational Resources to increase accessibility for parents. You can find more Open Educational Resources from them below. Finally, thank you to Marcene Robinson for including me in the article "Faculty find creative ways to teach amid distance learning". I have been excited to see how we have all been adapting in the past 6 months and look forward to the next steps!

This site is...

a website created by Mrs. Turowski during her 7th grade US history placement. 

It was created during my student teaching placement from March to May 2020 and was meant to help parents, teachers, and students outside of my student teaching placement school district (google classroom and packets were used in the school district) to access quality 7th grade US history content during COVID-19. 

I have decided to leave this site up as it still receives 50+ visitors each day.

Please click on the drop down menus above to access content. 

Lessons: I prepared lessons aligned to the New York State Social Studies Framework and Common Core that were short but meaningful. For each lesson I included a brief lesson plan that can be downloaded to help guide the lesson. The lesson have all the materials necessary in one document, except videos, which will appear on this website. These lessons have suggested modifications and accommodations for students at different levels of readiness. Follow on Twitter to be updated when new lessons are uploaded.

Note: I have screened all the content and everything I post is age appropriate for the average 7th grade student. However, I encourage you to review all materials and exercise your own judgment before showing them to your child.
