Have them work in pairs or small groups to solve the problems using the concepts they learned. Host a "Math Video Showcase" where students present math tutorial videos they made to the class, allowing for peer feedback and discussion. After viewing a video about art techniques or historical art movements, students can create their own artwork using the methods discussed. Following a ClickView science video, organize a hands-on experiment related to the video's content. For example, if the video discusses ecosystems, students can create mini-ecosystems in a jar. After watching a video on a literary topic or a story, have students create their own short stories or scripts incorporating themes, characters, or settings from the video. Share the stories using a digital storytelling tool such as Book Creator, reviewed here.

Storyboard That offers an engaging resource for teaching about Ancient Mesopotamia through the G.R.A.P.E.S. framework (Geography, Religion, Achievements, Politics, Economy, and Social Structure). The lesson plans help students explore key aspects of Mesopotamian civilization with creative activities like storyboards, timelines, and graphic organizers. Featured activities include creating visual summaries of Hammurabi's Code, mapping the Fertile Crescent's geography, and illustrating Mesopotamia's social hierarchy.

In the Classroom

Students can design a map of the Fertile Crescent, labeling key rivers, cities, and regions. Students can use the storyboard format from Canva's Storyboard Templates, reviewed here to visually represent the social hierarchy of Mesopotamia, from kings to enslaved people. Have students create a timeline using Timeline Infographics Templates, reviewed here to highlight major achievements, such as the invention of the wheel, writing (cuneiform), and irrigation systems. Challenge students to create a storyboard that depicts the daily life of a Mesopotamian family, focusing on religion, economy, and culture. Have students create storyboards that illustrate different laws from Hammurabi's Code, showing how laws were applied in Mesopotamian society.

MapChart.net's USA map tool allows teachers and students to create custom maps of the United States by coloring individual states. This resource is great for geography lessons, classroom projects, or visualizing data such as election results, climate regions, or population density. It offers a simple interface for selecting, customizing, and labeling states. Once completed, the map can be downloaded and printed, making it a versatile tool for both in-class activities and homework assignments.
This site includes advertising.

In the Classroom

Students can use MapChart.net to color-code states after identifying their capitals. For example, they can mark states where they correctly recall the capital in green and those they need to study in red. Afterward, they can download and print the map for study guides. During a lesson on government and elections, students can color the map to simulate an electoral vote count. Students could also research population density and important landmarks of various U.S. states and then use different colors to represent high-density and low-density areas on the map. During a history lesson on westward expansion, students can use this site to highlight the territories acquired through different treaties (ex, the Louisiana Purchase and Oregon Trail).
