60 Multiple Choice Questions on Episode 7 of America: The Story of US 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 7: “Cities," which means it covers the industrialization of America and its effects on the growing urban population. 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 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 teachers review material out loud or facilitate 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. keywords: Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, immigration, Andrew Carnegie, steel, Bessemer process, skyscrapers, Flatiron building, urban crime, sanitation, Jacob Riis, tenements, Thomas Edison, light bulb, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, worker safety regulations

To assist teachers whose students would prefer a larger font, this Marcus Garvey Crossword Puzzle Packet also includes large format pages. A complete puzzle with clues or with word bank and clues fits on two pages in the large-format version. In addition, this puzzle pack contains both beautifully decorated puzzle grids and plain format puzzle grids so teachers can choose the one that is the best fit for their students.

This Iran Hostage Crisis Crossword Puzzle Review is a great way for students to immerse themselves in this key event of the late 1970s. The crisis, after all, was one of the large-scale reasons for the defeat of Jimmy Carter and the victory of Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election.

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.

Make economics come to life with these 25 questions that guide students through Episode 1 of "Thinking Like an Economist," a 12-part video series from the Great Courses Thinking Like an Economist helps make economics concepts crystal clear to a high school audience by providing students with real-world anecdotes and examples that perfectly illustrate key concepts and bring them fully to life. Using resources as diverse as bumper sticker slogans and the rules of wrestling, Professor Randall Bartlett shows how economic concepts surround us all the time. Once students have seen a few episodes of this fantastic series, they'll achieve the promise of the title and start thinking like economists themselves! ABOUT THESE THINKING LIKE AN ECONOMIST WORKSHEETS Each episode lasts 30 minutes, and even though they're very interesting, some students may have trouble paying sustained attention. That's where these worksheets come in. You can use them to hold students accountable either during viewing or afterwards as a quiz. DIFFERENTIATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Teachers need options, and this worksheet set gives you an important one: All questions are provided in either multiple choice or free response format. CONVENIENCE FEATURES IN THIS THINKING LIKE AN ECONOMIST WORKSHEET SET --- All questions are in video order so that students can easily follow along, using the worksheets during viewing. --- Fast-correct answer keys are provided for both the multiple choice and free response versions of the questions. --- Full context answer keys are also provided for both, giving teachers questions and answers on the same page. These are helpful for guiding discussions and going over answers together with the class. ABOUT EPISODE 1 OF THINKING LIKE AN ECONOMIST This episode provides students with six key concepts that will help them understand their world a lot better, as seen through the lens of economics. These include: --- People respond to incentives. --- Every transaction has at least two sides. --- Expect unintended consequences. --- There are always unanticipated influences. --- Nobody is in control. Episode 1 develops the theme that will echo throughout the entire series: Rational decision-making in a complex, interrelated world. Key concepts discussed in detail in Episode 1 include ideas found in the first chapter of most Econ textbooks: scarcity, opportunity costs, incentives, and more!

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.

Are you showing the film version of Evita in your Spanish or history class? These movie tests will provide you with three different ready-made assessments so you can evaluate student learning and help students stay on task as they are watching! Good for both social studies and Spanish classes, since the movie concerns the history and culture of a major South American Spanish-speaking nation. THREE TESTS TO CHOOSE FROM 1) True/False 2) Multiple Choice 3) Essay Prompts There are 50 questions between the first two tests, and eight different essay prompts, making it a snap to differentiate instruction for all levels. IDEAS FOR USING THE TESTS These questions are perfect for assessing how well students paid attention to the movie, certainly, but they can also be used as a springboard to preview important points before viewing or to help the teacher discuss the film with the class afterwards. The tests are all designed to assess understanding after students have seen the entire film. Another way to differentiate instruction is to require students to take notes during the movie for use on the test... or to have students respond to the test questions and/or essay prompts using their memory only.

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 10 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON WORKSHEET "Galileo was Right" stands apart in this series as the most science-laden of the episodes. This episode explores in detail the advantages that a manned space program has over an unmanned one, specifically in the area of scientific discovery. As a geologist early on in the episode explains, a robot rover can pick up rocks, but it's really on a human being who can distinguish which rocks are likely to be significant in terms of geology. The astronauts get trained in earth science in this episode so they can identify geologic formations and collect the right rocks -- ones that might yield useful information -- instead of just random ones. Watching this episode is great for earth science classes who can "tag along" as the astronauts take field trips into the desert and learn to identify key types of landforms and the rocks associated with them. At the end, there's a recreation of a real physics experiment done on the moon, proving that Galileo was right about the speed of falling objects in a vaccum! EPISODE 10 SUMMARY: The title refers to Scott's reproduction of an experiment proving Galileo's hypothesis that gravity will cause bodies of differing masses to fall at the same rate in a vacuum, by dropping a hammer and a feather." HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VIEWING This worksheet provides students with 14 questions to answer and includes both true/false and multiple choice items.

160 Questions -- a comprehensive assessment -- of the 3-hour movie Hitler: The Rise of Evil. Students will pay better attention to the movie when they know they will be tested on it after viewing. Alternately, these questions are set up so that you can use them as during-viewing worksheets if you prefer. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. With that in mind, there are detailed annotations on many "false" answers and some "true" answers -- the better to assist you in going over the questions / conducting class discussions. What These Hitler the Rise of Evil Worksheets Include To make using the worksheets very easy, the questions are divided into four files that cover different phases of the movie. This will allow you to show the movie over several class periods and assess students as you go along. * 68 Questions (38 True/False and 30 Multiple Choice) cover the first 56 minutes. * 38 Questions (23 True/False and 15 Multiple Choice) cover from 52:00 to 1:47:00 of the film. * 27 Questions (15 True/False and 12 Multiple Choice) cover from 1:47:00 to 2:25:00 * 27 Questions (18 True/False and 9 Multiple Choice) cover from 2:25:00 to the end of the film. There are 160 questions in all. That means that you have plenty to choose from if you would prefer to administer your students shorter tests, or if you would like to make several versions of tests. Another convenience feature for you is a variety of different formats: You will receive an Examview testbank .bnk file, an Examview test .tst file, and an .rtf file that you can open in a word processing program. Thus you will find it easy to print out worksheets if you wish, or use the files electronically with Examview or CPS if that suits your teaching style better. The .bnk files can be combined together in any combination if you wish to make longer tests, for example, a master test covering the entire movie. However you choose to use the questions, you shouldn't be in the position of having to re-type them! These questions are perfect for assessing how well students paid attention to the movie, and they can also be used as a springboard to preview important points in the movie or to discuss it with the class afterwards. You can have students take notes during the movie and use them with these questions afterwards, or require them to do the questions from memory only.

_________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Great for keeping them engaged! Great movie, too. ---Great resource to keep the kids on task! ---Great to keep them on track! _________________________________________________ This Thirteen Days Worksheet Uses a Cloze / Fill-in Format that Helps Students Pay Close Attention! ABOUT THIS THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE WORKSHEET This worksheet is designed to be used by students as they watch the film, encouraging them to focus in on key details even as they enjoy the action, intrigue, and adventure of 1962's Cuban Missile Crisis. Structure of worksheet: Key statements from the film's script are provided, but important words or phrases are 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 and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better. The worksheet is two pages long and has 30 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the film. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS THIRTEEN DAYS WORKSHEETS PACKET I have organized student materials 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! 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use this version instead! Teacher Materials: Three answer keys are provided to you: 1) Answers provided in context for use in class discussions of the material. This answer key might also be easiest to use if you have students use the consumable worksheets. 2) Answers provided in context as above, but with timestamps to help you keep track of where each problem occurs in the film. These timestamps match the DVD version of the film. 3) A more traditional linear answer key to make correcting student work simpler. This answer key is probably easiest to use if you have students use the re-usable worksheets.

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 7 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON WORKSHEET History textbooks tend to end the story of the Apollo program in 1969 when Neil Armstrong makes history. This episode is key to showing students that contrary to what they may assume, there were several more lunar missions following that historic first landing. The technological and scientific advances that the later missions yielded helped to make the modern world we still live in today. This episode is filled with quirky humor and is quite possible the most enjoyable one in the series, just because students will have so many reasons to grin and even laugh at the real-life antics and problems faced by the crew of Apollo 12 as they successfully accomplished a second mood landing. EPISODE 7 SUMMARY "The story of the Apollo 12 second lunar landing mission is told by Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean. Bean, the last member of NASA Astronaut Group 3 to fly in space, narrates his experience with the tightly-knit, all-Navy crew commanded by Gemini veteran Pete Conrad, and accepts with humor and grace his responsibility for the failure of the first color TV camera on the lunar surface, and for almost fracturing his own skull by failing to properly secure the Command Module's TV camera before splashdown." HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VIEWING This worksheet provides students with 27 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

These Hitler: The Rise of Evil worksheets are designed to be used by students as they watch the film. Students will pay better attention to the movie and will focus in on important details as they solve the problems included in the activity. USING THESE HITLER THE RISE OF EVIL MOVIE WORKSHEETS The approach here is cloze, also known as fill-ins: Key statements from the film's 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 and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better and feel accountable for the class time spent on the movie. Students stay on task more when they feel accountable. As every teacher knows, some students treat an instructional movie as though it were free time. These worksheets will help discourage that notion. The worksheet is several pages long and has 70 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the 3 hour-long film. The problems to be solved often guide students to historically significant items, helping them to gain a better understanding of the importance and context of terms such as: Communist, Versailles, Fuhrer, Munich, putsch, swastika, Reichstag, chancellor... and many more! Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! Accordingly, I have organized student materials 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! 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use this version! Teacher Materials: Two answer keys are provided to you: 1) Answers provided in context for use in class discussions of the material. This answer key includes timestamps of when each key statement occurs during the movie. This answer key is probably the more convenient one if you have students use the consumable worksheets. 2) A more traditional linear answer key to make correcting student work simpler. This answer key is probably more convenient if you have students use the re-usable worksheets.

These War Games Worksheets provide teachers with a comprehensive set of questions, all in movie order, covering the 1983 movie War Games starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. WAR GAMES MOVIE WORKSHEETS HELP STUDENTS SEE THE COLD WAR FROM A TEEN PERSPECTIVE! This movie is great for U.S. History classes because it captures the mood of the nation in the early 1980s. Fear of nuclear war was rampant -- so much so that there was a nuclear freeze / unilateral disarmament movement gaining ground. Even though the movie plot is fiction, it is useful because it is a genuine product of the fears in play at that time. It also depicts the beginnings of the computer-based technological culture that we live in today and weaves in 1980s cultural strands about computer hacking and video gaming, both trends which have continued to this day but which began in force in the early 1980s. I usually show this movie to my classes after state testing has been completed and we have time for things that are still historical, but are also very fun. Students love this movie and watch it with rapt attention. With this question set, you can give them something to do during the movie or you can assess them afterwards as a closing assessment. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! To give teacher maximum options, the question sets are provided both in movie order and in scrambled order. Teachers that like to have their students use worksheets during a movie to follow along will probably like the former. The latter might be best for teachers that want to have students review concepts after the movie -- or a specific section of it -- has been viewed in its entirety. A Lesson Plan That Can Last At Least Three Days The question set is split into three sections which more-or-less coordinate with showing the movie over three class periods. This lets teachers stop and "debrief" movie/history elements with their classes before moving on. How These War Games Worksheets Offer Maximum Flexibility Because teachers have different needs when it comes to materials, several different formats are provided: ---Examview .tst so you can print tests out or use them with CPS/Examview electronic testing systems ---Examview .bnk so you can combine the various question banks in any way you please to make your own tests (For example, combine all files to make a master test for the whole movie). ---rtf Microsoft Word and other word processors can open these files. The rtf files are perfect for making worksheets or adding other enhancements to the files. There are 78 Questions in all -- 39 True/False Questions and 39 Multiple Choice Questions!

ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE DEEPLY WITH HISTORY USING THESE WWI CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS KEYED TO THE FILM MY BOY JACK What would it be like to actually fight in the First World War? How would it feel to watch a beloved son go off to fight -- and what could you do on the home front to help support him? How much should a government lie to its citizens about the conditions and progress of the war -- do the ends justify the means? These are just a few of the powerful questions addressed by the keenly insightful film, My Boy Jack, produced by the BBC and first aired on Decoration Day (the equivalent of Memorial Day in the United States). Unlike many war movies, this one is not fiction. It is the true story of Rudyard Kipling and his son, who wanted to go off to fight for king and country, and and after many struggles, finally got his wish -- much to the regret of the father who had encouraged him to go off to war at the tender young age of 17. WHY THIS MOVIE WORKS IN CLASS Because the main character is just 17 years old, high school students can really relate to him and put themselves in his shoes! They see him dealing with a difficult home situation (something many of our students have on their plates), applying for military service only to be rejected, pressing his case, going through basic training, serving as an officer training his own battalion, and finally, going "over the top" on the Western Front and confronting the very ugly realities of trench warfare. Students find it interesting and really pay attention -- and it doesn't hurt that John Kipling is played by the same actor many of them recognize as Harry Potter! These questions focus on issues raised by the film and will help students personalize and internalize how total war affected individuals in families. They will provide a springboard for class discussion and debate about issues such as nationalism, propaganda, and patriotism. Because the character of Jack is so close to the age of high school students studying the war, it's easy for students to put themselves in his shoes and really feel involved as they watch the film. These critical thinking questions expand on that angle and turn the movie into a much more powerful teaching tool. LEARNING IS THINKING! These 23 questions are not your usual "who did what?" kinds of problems. In fact, they aren't really designed to test students on the movie, but rather to get them thinking hard about life in 1915 Britain -- about the issues that real people had to face in that challenging era. Each question can open up the door for discussion and debate, encouraging students to dive deep into history and put themselves in another place and time. Great for essays, debates, and projects as well as class discussions!

Easy-to-correct worksheets plus a final test designed to go with every episode of "The Men Who Built America," a highly engaging History Channel series covering the industrialization of the United States. MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA WORKSHEETS DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOM CONVENIENCE This worksheet set contains 4 multiple-choice worksheets, each covering one 80-85 minute episode of the series. However, because a class period is frequently less than an hour, each of these worksheets is also divided into a first half and last half. This will let teachers easily show a segment and review answers all within a single class period. EASILY WORKS WITH BOTH WAYS THE SERIES IS SHOWN The Netflix version of The Men Who Built America uses these 80-85 minute-long episodes. However, sometimes when the series airs on the History Channel, it is presented as eight 40-45 minute shorter episodes instead of four "double episodes." Because I have split the double episodes in half when making the worksheets, however, this worksheet set will still work perfectly, even if your classroom showing uses the eight episode structure. WHAT YOU THESE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA WORKSHEETS INCLUDE ----More than 65 questions covering Episode 1 ----More than 60 questions covering Episode 2 ----More than 50 questions covering Episode 3 ----More than 70 questions covering Episode 4 plus: A final exam about the entire series: 80 questions drawn from the previous episode-based sets Hundreds of questions in all! WHERE TO FIND THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA The series plays regularly on the History Channel and is also playing on Netflix. It can also be found on other streaming sites -- a simple Google search may be the best way to find places where it is currently available. ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE SERIES The Men Who Built America starts with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and goes forward in mostly chronological order until the breakup of Standard Oil in the early decades of the 20th century.

________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Really helpful! ________________________ The movie "1776" is great for teaching about the American Revolution and specifically the Declaration of Independence. These questions are designed to be used batch by batch as students finish watching portions of the movie -- or they can be used after the whole movie has been watched, as a final assessment. I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed afterwards on the main ideas and important details in the film. ABOUT THESE 1776 MOVIE QUESTIONS These questions are in Examview format. If you need printable worksheets, skip to the bottom of the listing for a link to them. Examview TestBanks are compatible with Examview software and many online learning management systems such as Edmodo and Schoology. They also work with Insight 360 and CPS software, both of which are used with handheld "clickers." This set is made up of three time-stamped files so that you can assess students on the beginning, middle, and ending phases of the movie. In all, you will have more than 50 questions -- a mix of True/False and Multiple Choice. KEY IDEAS AND PEOPLE COVERED 1776 • Thomas Jefferson • Benjamin Franklin • John Adams • Abigail Adams • Philadelphia as the capital city • Independence Hall • The Liberty Bell • The Declaration of Independence • The Debate over Slavery • Loyalists • British tax policy • The proper role of representative government • Boston as a site of colonial discontent • And much more!

Few teaching units can effectively capture the breadth of human history since the dawn of farming to the present day, but Jared Diamond's breathtaking series, Guns, Germs and Steel does so with aplomb. High school students being what they are, however, they may not fully appreciate Diamond's fascinating episodes for their own sake. That's where these worksheets come in. They will help hold students accountable for paying close attention to the videos so that much more content is learned and absorbed. This bundle contains video worksheets for episodes 1 and 2 of Jared Diamond's 3-part series. (There is no worksheet provided for episode 3 simply because, after having used this series with World History and Economics classes for several years, I have concluded that the third episode is the weakest. The most important content is well-covered in the first two episodes, which is what my classes focus on every year.) ABOUT GUNS, GERMS and STEEL This series is *perfect* for World History courses and fits in well when studying the ancient world and again when looking at the age of European imperialism. Basically, the series is an exploration of one of the key questions about the modern world: why are wealth and power distributed so unequally? Why are some continents so rich while others seem to be so poor? Because this is the major focus of the series, it is also ideal for Economics classes. During the Age of Imperialism, a number of explanations were floated to explain these discrepancies. By and large, they were based on racism. Diamond debunks these skillfully, presenting the idea that won him a Pulitzer Prize: the physical geography of the earth has had a controlling influence on the development of key technological breakthroughs that gave some areas a head start over others. It all starts with farming, and with the fact that not all world areas started off with the same wealth of animals that were capable of being domesticated. The shape of the continents has actually been a key historical force, according to Diamond; those with a long east-west axis enjoyed a great advantage over those with a north-south orientation. From these factors, much of the modern world has sprung. WHEN TO USE THE VIDEOS AND WORKSHEETS Guns, Germs and Steel fits into the curriculum at a number of key places -- it truly is a very versatile video to add to your teaching library. You could show episodes when the class reaches any of the following moments in history: * Neolithic revolution * Fertile Crescent * Age of Exploration * Age of Imperialism * Spanish Conquest of South America * Age of New Imperialism

________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---So easy to use. thank you! ________________________________ Make history and economics exciting with this set of Iron Lady worksheets / tests! This is a complete movie guide, including essay / discussion / debate prompts as well as a primary source study sheet filled with some of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's most famous and significant quotations! This movie viewing guide for The Iron Lady can help you more effectively address a wide range of economics and history topics related to the Cold War and this Reagan/Thatcher shift to conservative economic theory. ABOUT THE MOVIE, THE IRON LADY The Iron Lady, starring Meryl Streep, examines Thatcher as a woman and politician, tracing her rise to power from the time she worked as a clerk in her father's small grocery store to her final years when she was beset with health problems including Alzheimer's disease. Along the way, students get an insider's view of late 20th-century Britain as it changes from a heavily socialist system to one that is much more capitalistic. ---Teaching Economics?--- This movie is *perfect* for students in high school economic classes as it really is an "up close and personal" look at the contrast between Keynsian and Austrian-school policies -- delivered in a way that is highly engaging. The economics concepts are actually embedded throughout -- students will not feel lectured at. Instead, they will see the real human suffering that resulted when workers dependent on state industries are suddenly released into a new system that expects them to fend for themselves a great deal more. ---Teaching World or European History?--- But the movie isn't *only* about economic policy.

60 Multiple Choice Questions on Episode 5 of America: A History of Us 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 5: “Civil 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 teachers review material out loud or facilitate class discussions of the material. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES Because the worksheet and test take these different approaches, teachers can also use them to differentiate instructio into basic/advanced levels. keywords: Abraham Lincoln, North and South, railroads, telegraph, amputations, Clara Barton, ether, chloroform, bromine, formaldehyde, battlefield photography, Antietam, Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, Lee, Sherman
