56 Multiple Choice Questions to accompany Episode 6 of Mankind: The Story of All of Us Mankind: The Story of All of Us is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the humanity in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This teaching packet covers Episode 6: “Survivors," which develops three major stories: • The Salt Trade in the Sahara • The Gold Trade in Mali • Learning and Knowledge in Timbuktu • Venice as a Banking Powerhouse • The Renaissance • The Chinese Inventions of Gunpowder and Guns • The Defeat of the Mongols; The Ming Dynasty • Gutenberg and the Printing Press • Christopher Columbus • The Spanish Reconquest / Defeat of the Moors Using any of the series’ episodes in class opens up several useful possibilities. They are so well presented that they are easily understood by students. This in turn means that episodes can actually be used as an introduction to a topic or a unit. On the other hand, they also make excellent reinforcers, so some teachers will want to show the episodes after the end of a chapter or unit for use as a review or recap. ABOUT THIS TEACHING PACKET I’ve kept this episode versatility in mind when making these materials. This teaching resource contains both a worksheet and a test on the episode it covers. These two components are based on different approaches to the video: • The student viewing worksheet has 46 multiple choice questions, all presented in video order. These questions are fairly detailed. Certainly, many students will have good enough recall to be able to complete the worksheet after the episode has been shown, but because of the detailed nature of the questions, some teachers may want to use the worksheet as a “during-viewing” activity that will help students track information and stay on task . • The 10-question test, on the other hand, is designed to help students synthesize the episode’s information and see larger patterns that span different sections of it. My intent when writing the test was to focus solely on the “big issues” that arise from the targeted time span of world history. Students who have paid attention to the video should definitely have mastered these basic, fundamental issues from the targeted time period. All test questions are also multiple choice. • A fast-grade answer key is provided for both the worksheet and the quiz. MORE DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES Because the worksheet and test take different approaches, teachers can also use them to differentiate instruction by using them as basic/advanced levels!

57 Multiple Choice Questions to accompany Episode 5 of Mankind: The Story of All of Us Mankind: The Story of All of Us is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the humanity in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This teaching packet covers Episode 5: “Plague," which develops three major stories: • Genghis Khan and the Mongol Invasions • The Bubonic Plague in Asia and Europe • The Empire of the Incas Using any of the series’ episodes in class opens up several useful possibilities. They are so well presented that they are easily understood by students. This in turn means that episodes can actually be used as an introduction to a topic or a unit.

The regular worksheet, in contrast, can double as an “advanced” viewing activity.

A Comprehensive Set of Multiple Choice Worksheets to accompany the PBS documentary American Experience: Clinton --More than 200 problems --Divided into two separate worksheets, one for each part of the video series --All problems in video order --NO PREP --Fast correct student answer sheet included! American Experience: Clinton is a comprehensive biography of the 42nd president of the United States which originally aired on PBS stations throughout the United States. Lasting about four hours, the takes students through Clinton’s two terms and does an excellent job of highlighting major events of the 1990s, including the Black Hawk Down incident in Somalia, the genocide in Rwanda, the Whitewater investigation, the NATO response to the genocide in Bosnia, the budget battles and the final emergence of a budget surplus, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and the impeachment and trial proceedings against the president. Where to find the video American Experience: Clinton plays from time to time on PBS stations and is also sometimes available on streaming services. The best way to find out where it might currently be available is to run a simple Google search. For teachers who prefer to purchase hard media, American Experience: Clinton is available as part of The President’s Collection, which provides American Experience biographies of more than 10 20th-century presidents, all bundled together in a very affordable set. It can also be purchased separately from PBS online. Teacher convenience features All worksheets include answer blanks in case teachers want students to write directly on them. Having answers marked on the blanks instead of just having the correct choices circled makes it easier for teachers to review student efforts. Sometimes, consumable worksheets are the best approach for a given class, but in other cases, teachers may want to copy off a file set of worksheets that can be re-used from year to year or class to class. To help make correcting as efficient as possible in that case, I have included a special student answer sheet where answers can be recorded. The teacher answer key exactly matches the format/setup of the answer sheet in order to make correcting fast and easy!

Looking for a teaching resource that zeros in on some of the most critical years in American history? This question set targets the Revolutionary War, zeroing in on the course of the war right up until the pivotal battle of Saratoga, long considered a turning point because the American victory there persuaded the French to formally ally with the United States. That decision would prove to be critical in later years when French aid helped General Washington gain the final surrender. In this question set, students will dive deep into the challenges and struggles that characterized the first half of the Revolutionary War! TOPICS COVERED IN THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS • British battle strategy against New York and Philadelphia • Early French aid even before Saratoga • American battle strategy: crossing the Delaware • Valley Forge • The Battle of Saratoga • Diverse views of the conflict from Native Americans, African Americans, and women • Advantages and disadvantages held by the British and the Patriots • Financing the war TWO AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE This resource includes a multiple choice worksheet and also a free response worksheet, with no overlap of questions between the two. They do both cover the same range of concepts, however, which means that teachers can use one as a pre-test or formative assessment and the other as a final test or summative assessment! Another choice would be to designate the multiple choice worksheet as a "basic" level task and the free response one as more advanced, and use them accordingly -- to differentiate instruction, build in extra-credit opportunities, or in any other way you use leveled materials, such as reserving one for a Revolutionary War practice activity and the other for an American Revolution quiz. WHAT THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS INCLUDE • Multiple Choice Worksheet with 32 Questions • Free Response Worksheet with 32 Questions • Answer Key for each worksheet The multiple choice answer key in this American Revolution resource is full-context so that teachers don't have to look back and forth, question to answer, when reviewing multiple choice questions with the class. Everything needed to go over questions and answers with the class is grouped together for teacher convenience. A "fast correct" answers only key is also provided for the multiple choice worksheet. A free response answer key is also provided.

41 Multiple Choice Questions about the ideas that inspired the Founding Fathers This worksheet is intended for use with Lesson 3 of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, an excellent high-school level textbook published by the Center for Civic Education. There are actually several levels of We the People available. You can tell if this worksheet matches your text by looking at the book cover thumbnail image included near the top of this page. MEETING TEACHERS' NEEDS If you have used this text, you have probably had the same reaction to it as myself -- fantastic content, placing government concepts in their rich historical context where they are best understood.... but where’s the testing program? Indeed, the major drawback I have found to the We the People textbook is a lack of strong ancillaries. That is why I have developed my own. This worksheet has been used by real high-school students and has kept them engaged and on-task while providing me, their teacher, with valuable information about how well each of them is mastering government concepts. A PRACTICAL APPROACH All questions are presented in “lesson order,” so that they can be used as a guided reading activity if desired. I often use them as tests instead, however, requiring students to answer questions from memory alone. I have found that if students read the text with partners and discuss it along the way, they have excellent recall and can easily achieve scores of 80% and higher even without being able to look in the textbook to check their first impressions. This worksheet is targeted for use with only one lesson from the We the People textbook. Check back frequently for additional worksheets targeting other lessons from the book. I plan to regularly update my store with more We the People support materials, LESSON 3 CONTENT: "This lesson examines several important historical developments that influenced the ideas of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution. When you have finished this lesson, you should be able to explain the differences between classical republican and Judeo-Christian ideas about the importance of the individual. You also should be able to explain how certain historical developments influenced modern ideas about government, constitutionalism, and individual rights. Finally, you should be able to evaluate, take, and defend positions on approaches to theories of morality, the importance of the rise of capitalism, and how the Enlightenment inspired the Founders."

Classical Greek and Roman writers, natural rights philosophy, the Bible, Protestant theology, ancient and modern European history, and the Enlightenment in Europe and America were among the sources of the ideas that influenced the Founders. The Founders also participated in self-government in the American colonies before 1776 and in state and local governments after independence from Great Britain. The Founders' ideas about society and government and their experiences were diverse. The colonies differed widely. This diversity fostered a rich dialogue about the purpose of government and how it should be organized.

Occasionally the colonists needed to create entirely new institutions. When you have finished this lesson, you should be able to describe the early development of America's traditions of constitutional government. You also should be able to explain why the American colonists attached special importance to such constitutional principles as written guarantees of basic rights and representative government.

Finally, the Evita Movie Worksheet Set you have been looking for! Designed to be used by students as they watch the film, this Evita movie worksheet will help students pay better attention and zero in on important details, something that they can find challenging without some scaffolding, since most students aren't used to watching movies that are wall to wall singing! The movie Evita is perfect for both Spanish and World History classes and these Evita Movie Worksheets work equally well for both. HOW THIS EVITA MOVIE WORKSHEET SET WILL KEEP STUDENTS ON-TASK AND WATCHING The approach here is cloze or fill-in, which means that students won't get anywhere just guessing. They'll have to pay close attention to the movie in order to be listening for the next fill-in problem. The Evita movie worksheet works like this: key statements from the script are included on a worksheet, with important words or phrases blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes for years and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better. LOTS FOR STUDENTS TO DO The worksheet is several pages long and has 51 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the film. LOOKING FOR A REUSABLE EVITA MOVIE WORKSHEET? LOOK NO FURTHER! Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. With that in mind, I have organized student and teacher materials in several ways so that you have a variety of options. Student Materials: Two worksheet versions are provided for your convenience: 1) Re-usable. Make one class set and use it with multiple groups over multiple years. Save on paper, ink, and the hassle of making printouts. Answer blanks on this set are noted with the characters: -----. This is on purpose so that students do not feel they have a "blank" to write on. ----- is too short to be of much use and the position of the hyphens would block their writing in any case. 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use the set that has answer blanks noted with the characters: ______________________________. Please note that all blanks are the same size (except when shortening a blank will help with formatting the flow of the sentence). This is to avoid giving students unintentional hints or clues about the answers. The answers can be derived only from carefully watching the film.

Searching for great resources to help students understand the Cold War Space Race and what a huge challenge it was to make it all the way to the moon in just a decade? Look no further than this From the Earth to the Moon worksheet covering a key episode from the acclaimed HBO series! The series has 12 episodes, but finding time to show them all would be nearly impossible in a class setting. For that reason, I've broken out my worksheet set on the series into individual episodes so you can buy only what you need. ABOUT THIS EPISODE 11 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON WORKSHEET "The Original Wives Club" concentrates on the contributions that women made to the Apollo program -- specifically, the difficulties and sacrifices associated with being the wife of an astronaut. EPISODE 11 SUMMARY "Shows the Apollo program from the point of view of the nine wives of NASA's second group of astronauts, from 1962 beyond the end of the program. The burdens placed on them include maintaining a home while presenting a positive image to the news media, shielding their husbands from any family concerns which could affect their position in the flight rotation or ability to return to Earth safely, and comforting each other in the face of tragedy as Elliot See and Ed White are killed. The episode is anchored by the Apollo 16 mission, during which recently married Ken Mattingly loses his wedding ring in the Command Module, and Lunar Module pilot Charles Duke finds it while Mattingly is performing a walk in deep space." HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VIEWING This worksheet provides students with 12 questions to answer and includes both true/false and multiple choice items. Since the question types are not mixed together, teachers who want some flexibility can use the true/false during viewing and the multiple choice afterwards as a discussion springboard or a quiz (or vice-versa). A full answer key is included. Video Questions by Elise Parker

Look no further than this From the Earth to the Moon worksheet covering a key episode from the acclaimed HBO series! The series has 12 episodes, but finding time to show them all would be nearly impossible in a class setting. For that reason, I've broken out my worksheet set on the series into individual episodes so you can buy only what you need. ABOUT THIS EPISODE 6 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON WORKSHEET "Mare Tranquillitatis," or "Sea of Tranquility" portrays the true stand-out moment of the Apollo program -- the first moon landing! For all that, though, the episode is packed with historical detail that gets left out of most history textbooks. We think of the 1969 moon landing as going off without a hitch. In reality, Neil Armstrong was within just a few seconds of calling an abort as he and Buzz Aldrin descended to the surface of the moon. The lunar lander was quite literally almost out of fuel -- running practically on vapors -- when it finally touched down on the lunar surface. This is all true, but it makes for fantastic drama and will keep students on the edge of their seats, even though they'll almost certainly already know that Armstrong is fated to succeed in being the first man on the moon. The episode also shows a surprising event on the lunar surface -- something few Americans realize happened. It makes for a great discussion started on the meaning of the First Amendment and the separation of church and government. Most likely, you'll have student on both sides of the issue and can have a rousing debate about whether Buzz Aldrin should have received permission to perform a religious ceremony while working for the government and representing the nation to the world. EPISODE 6 SUMMARY: "A dramatization of the Apollo 11 first Moon landing in Mare Tranquilitatis ("Sea of Tranquility") is interspersed with flashback sequences of Emmett Seaborn's television interview with the crew of Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin, and Command Module pilot Michael Collins." HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VIEWING This worksheet provides students with 39 questions to answer and includes both true/false and multiple choice items. Since the question types are not mixed together, teachers who want some flexibility can use the true/false during viewing and the multiple choice afterwards as a discussion springboard or a quiz (or vice-versa). To assist the teacher, a heavily annotated answer key is provided. Video Questions by Elise Parker

For that reason, I've broken out my worksheet set on the series into individual episodes so you can buy only what you need. ABOUT THIS EPISODE 5 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON WORKSHEET "Spider" dives really deep into the technology challenges faced by the engineers responsible for building the equipment astronauts relied on to accomplish their missions. In this episode, engineers have to figure out how to make a lunar lander that can get by on very little fuel. This means making it very lightweight -- but how do you guarantee the astronaut's safety when you are thinning down their vehicle in every way you can? "Spider" also does a great job of illustrating for students just how *many* people worked on the Apollo missions. Most people tend to think no further than the astronauts and perhaps mission control, but there were hundreds of thousands of support personnel, without whom the moon landings would never have happened. The moon program really was a nationwide effort. After seeing "Spider," students will understand and appreciate that a lot more. EPISODE 5 SUMMARY: "Returns to 1961, and NASA engineer John Houbolt's lonely fight to convince management that the easiest way to land men on the Moon will be to use a separate landing craft. It then traces the design and development of the Lunar Module by a team led by Grumman engineer Tom Kelly. Covers the selection and training of the first crew to fly it, Jim McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart (along with Command Module pilot David Scott), and culminates with their first flight of Spider in Earth orbit on Apollo 9. The Apollo 10 lunar "dress rehearsal" is briefly mentioned." HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VIEWING This worksheet provides students with 25 questions to answer and includes both true/false and multiple choice items. Since the question types are not mixed together, teachers who want some flexibility can use the true/false during viewing and the multiple choice afterwards as a discussion springboard or a quiz (or vice-versa). To assist the teacher, an annotated answer key is provided. This answer key consists of not just answers, but also helpful commentary and additional information that will help to enrich review and discussion of the episode and the Apollo program.

_______________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: • Awesome... just what I was looking for. • Lots of questions to choose from! • Saved me hours of work! • Thanks it really helped! ______________________________________ ABOUT THE MOVIE "A More Perfect Union" portrays the 1787 Constitutional Convention in detail. If you're like me, you've downloaded the official Teacher's Guide that goes with this movie. It wasn't adequate for my needs. It had only a few questions and (some of them couldn't even be answered from the movie content!) So I created my own assessments for the movie.I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed on the main ideas and important details in the film. ABOUT THESE A MORE PERFECT UNION MOVIE WORKSHEETS All questions in this set are multiple choice and there are 105 questions in all. Because this is a lot to present in one fell swoop, the packet contains three different worksheets: one each for the beginning, middle, and ending phases of the film. For ease of teacher use, beginning and end time-stamps are provided for all worksheets. This way, teachers will know exactly which sections of the film the student pages coordinate with. Full answer keys provided for all worksheets. Student worksheets are formatted in both "write-on" and "reusable" versions so teachers can easily create permanent file copies if they wish.

America: A History of US Episode 1 Worksheet and Test: 60 Multiple Choice Questions in all! America: The Story of US is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the United States in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This teaching packet covers Episode 1: “Rebels,” which tells the story of America’s settlement and colonial past, right up to the “shot heard ‘round the world” at the Battle of Lexington that opened the Revolutionary War. Using any of the series’ episodes in class opens up several useful possibilities. They are so well presented that they are easily understood by students. This in turn means that episodes can actually be used as an introduction to a topic or a unit. On the other hand, they also make excellent reinforcers, so some teachers will want to show the episodes after the end of a chapter or unit for use as a review or recap. ABOUT THIS TEACHING PACKET I’ve kept this episode versatility in mind when making these materials. This teaching resource contains both a worksheet and a test on the episode it covers. These two components are based on different approaches to the video: • The student viewing worksheet has 50 multiple choice questions, all presented in video order. These questions are fairly detailed. Certainly, many students will have good enough recall to be able to complete the worksheet after the episode has been shown, but because of the detailed nature of the questions, some teachers may want to use the worksheet as a “during-viewing” activity that will help students track information and stay on task . • The 10-question test, on the other hand, is designed to help students synthesize the episode’s information and see larger patterns that span different sections of it. My intent when writing the test was to focus solely on the “big issues” that arise from the targeted timespan of American history. Students who have paid attention to the video might should definitely have mastered these basic, fundamental issues from the targeted time period. All test questions are also multiple choice. • Two answer keys are provided for all questions. One is designed for fast grading. The other one provides the full context of question and answer to help with class discussions of the material. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES Because the worksheet and test take these different approaches, teachers can also use them to differentiate instruction. The short test can serve as a “basic” level viewing worksheet while the worksheet can double as an “advanced” viewing activity. keywords: American revolution, Revolutionary War, Paul Revere, George Washington, Lexington and Concord, Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, Jamesto

Using any of the series’ episodes in class opens up several useful possibilities. They are so well presented that they are easily understood by students. This in turn means that episodes can actually be used as an introduction to a topic or a unit.

A Complete Activity and Assessment Solution for Episode 2 of Mankind: The Story of All of Us! Mankind: The Story of All of Us is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the human race in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This Mankind: The Story of All of Us packet covers Episode 2: "Iron Men," providing you with both a worksheet *and* two separate multiple choice activities on the key points covered in the episode. Mankind Episode 2 Resources Included: • 2-page fill-in worksheet with 37 problems • Time-stamped variant of above worksheet • 5-page multiple choice worksheet with 50 questions • 1-page multiple choice quiz with 10 additional questions • Answer keys for all resources ----All tests and worksheets present problems in "video order" so that teachers can use them as during-viewing activities if desired.---- DIFFERENTIATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Multiple Choice Levels: The 50-question worksheet is highly detailed, while the 10-question quiz focuses only on the "big picture," or the basics of the episode, so one way to differentiate is to use the quiz as a basic level activity while the worksheet is reserved for students ready for a more advanced level. Differentiating by Format: Another way to differentiate is to use the cloze worksheet (with or without time stamps) for an advanced level while either one of the multiple choice worksheets is presented as the simpler option, since it requires students to recognize the correct answer rather than generate it themselves. Three Levels of Differentiation: Teachers can also assign some student to do the cloze worksheets (with or without time stamps), others the detailed multiple choice, and still others the basic multiple choice. With this Mankind the Story of Us worksheet set, you really do get a lot of options! DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES Because the worksheet and test take different approaches, teachers can also use them to differentiate instruction. Since the test is much shorter and covers much more basic information, it can serve as a “basic” level viewing worksheet should teachers desire. The regular worksheet, in contrast, can double as an “advanced” viewing activity.

50 Multiple Choice Questions about the ideas that inspired the Founding Fathers This worksheet is intended for use with Lesson 2 of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, an excellent high-school level textbook published by the Center for Civic Education. There are actually several levels of We the People available. You can tell if this worksheet matches your text by looking at the book cover thumbnail image included near the top of this page. MEETING TEACHERS' NEEDS If you have used this text, you have probably had the same reaction to it as myself -- fantastic content, placing government concepts in their rich historical context where they are best understood.... but where’s the testing program? Indeed, the major drawback I have found to the We the People textbook is a lack of strong ancillaries. That is why I have developed my own. This worksheet has been used by real high-school students and has kept them engaged and on-task while providing me, their teacher, with valuable information about how well each of them is mastering government concepts. A PRACTICAL APPROACH All questions are presented in “lesson order,” so that they can be used as a guided reading activity if desired. I often use them as tests instead, however, requiring students to answer questions from memory alone. I have found that if students read the text with partners and discuss it along the way, they have excellent recall and can easily achieve scores of 80% and higher even without being able to look in the textbook to check their first impressions. LESSON 2 CONTENT: "People frequently make judgments about governments or acts of governments, praising them as "good" or criticizing them as "bad." Those judgments may reflect ideas about human nature, the proper function and scope of government, the rights of individuals, and other values. Political philosophers have discussed these matters for thousands of years. This lesson examines concepts such as the common good, civic virtue, the state of nature, natural rights, consent, and the social contract. These concepts are central to discussions about government. When you have finished this lesson, you should be able to describe how and why natural rights philosophy differs from classical republicanism and how both systems of thought influenced the founding generation in America.
