Georgia Studies PowerPoints, Lesson Plans and Activities

Georgia Studies is the 8th grade social studies class in the state of Georgia. There are not many resources that can help teachers create their lesson plans for this curriculum. I am starting to put together some PowerPoints and Lesson Plans with activities that will help teachers engage their students. I have put what I have created so far in the chart below. The links will take you to my store on teacherspayteachers.com

Georgia Studies Review, Study and Reference Packet This is a multi-purpose packet. I used this packet in the following ways:a. Breaking it up and handing out the review sheets (keys) at the beginning of every unit to SPED and ELL as an accommodation. They then used this as a reference sheet throughout the unit which saved time in class during opening and closings, note taking, class discussions, activities and helped the parents help their children with homework and studying.
b. Study guides as note sheets
c. Study guides as study guides before unit tests for all students
d. Study guides and review sheets were handed out as a big packet for studying for the CRCT.
e. Catch students up on content due to transfers, sickness, absences etc.This packet goes through every GA History state standard in the order that the state of GA framework suggests but does not include the Connecting themes in GA History unit 1 of the frameworks.

1. Early Natives in GA and Geography
2. Exploration and Colonization
3. Statehood
4. Civil War-Reconstruction
5. The New South
6. The 20th Century
7. Post WWII Georgia
8. Civil Rights
9. Modern GA
10. State and Local Government
11. Adult and Juvenile Justice System
12. Personal Finance

It lists the standards and then either lists or charts the facts, events, people, etc. that are in the standard along with a definition, importance of, or explanation of whatever is listed or charted. There are study guides that can be filled out by students and a key to go with it. It is written in Word so it is easily modified to meet your needs as a teacher.
