Karl Marx Worksheet Pack -- True/False and Fix-it Worksheets -- Fast and Fun!

Karl Marx Worksheet Pack -- True/False and Fix-it Worksheets -- Fast and Fun!

(0)
18 True/False problems that serve as a complete review of the basics about Karl Marx and his theory of radical socialism. Plus, a coordinating "fix-it" worksheet that takes students back through those same basics a second time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to Use These Karl Marx Review Worksheets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This teaching packet is best used after students have some basic acquaintance with Karl Marx and his theory of radical socialism. Therefore --- 1) First, use your world history textbook or a video about Karl Marx to introduce students to the topic. In my teaching sequence, I usually start in on this right after we’ve covered the First Industrial Revolution and its impact on the people of Europe and especially England. This allows me to place Karl Marx’s ideas into a logical context – as a reaction to the dark side of industrialization. 2) The next time you see your students, tell them that they are going to do some review problems on Karl Marx. Proceed through the True/False worksheet, either passing it out for students to write on, or reading problems out loud while they record answers on their own paper. 3) Make reviewing the answers a learning activity by going through them as a class. See how long it takes students to realize that all 18 statements on the worksheet are true! Discuss each item with the class to help them remember better. Alternately, follow the “reward game” procedure detailed on the True/False Answer Key Page. 4) Use the rest of the class period to do follow-up Karl Marx activities. Perhaps a primary source reading, another kind of supplemental reading, or a short video about Karl Marx. One of my favorites is “Manifestoon,” available for free on YouTube. This 12-minute video consists of a voice reading the verbatim text of the Communist Manifesto while vintage cartoons illustrating the concepts play. You can find “Manifestoon” at the following web address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbTIJ9_bLP4 5) On the next school day, announce that today there is going to be a quiz to see how much they learned from the True/False review. Or describe it as a quiz to see who was paying attention during the review! 6) Pass out the Fix-it Worksheet and provide students with time to work. 7) Either collect papers and correct them using the provided key, or go through the answers out loud with the class while students correct their own or a classmate’s paper. In some cases, students may come up with valid solutions that differ from the answer key, since there is more than one way to transform some of the error-laden problems into true statements. Happy teaching, Elise Parker
New Deal Worksheets -- Propaganda Poster Analysis Worksheets

New Deal Worksheets -- Propaganda Poster Analysis Worksheets

(0)
Three analysis worksheets designed to help students think critically as they carefully examine posters promoting the WPA, the CCC, and the Social Security program -- key elements of FDR's New Deal legislation intended to help the United States rise above the Great Depression! About These New Deal Primary Analysis Worksheets Using primary sources in class is a powerful way to illustrate history and bring it to life. When it comes to the New Deal, there's a huge wealth of primary sources in the form of propaganda posters readily available via image searches. The trouble with just using the images in class, however, is that all too often, students will simply glance at the poster before claiming to thoroughly understand it. Even when assigned to write a paragraph about a New Deal propaganda poster, students may only explore the most obvious points instead of delving deeper. A Focus on Analysis, not Just Observation! These New Deal Primary Source Propaganda worksheets ask students to do more than just note what images and text exist in the New Deal posters under study. They also require students to determine WHY certain text and image elements were included, using questions that explore issues such as: • What caused the artist to use a certain color scheme? • What was the propaganda poster creator trying to communicate by including certain image elements? • How does the overall look of the poster create a message of inclusion or exclusion from certain government programs and policies? • What do various design elements imply about the program or policy in question? Teacher Convenience Features • Three separate worksheets, each one focusing on a specific New Deal program. • Each worksheet includes a complete rendering of the poster under study along with six multiple choice questions for students to answer. • Two of the posters included are full-color, while one was created only in black and white. • Full answer keys are included for each worksheet. • Multiple choice means FAST correcting! • Includes two follow-up project ideas!

1964 Electoral College Worksheet: Election of 1964 Map Worksheet

(0)
Help your students understand the structure and vagaries of the Electoral College like never before as they study the map that represents Lyndon Johnson's landslide victory in 1964. This is a Critical Thinking Worksheet that requires students to do a lot more than just read the included map. You won't find "giveaway" questions here -- no asking students who won Tennessee or how many electoral votes Nevada had that year. Instead, students are challenged to use the information on the map to reach conclusions about a number of issues, including: --From the map data, which states appear to have approximately equal populations? --From the map data, how many members in the House of Representatives must a specified state have? --Why did Goldwater win Arizona even though the rest of that region of the nation chose Johnson? --What did the popular vote probably look like, considering how the electoral vote went? When finished, students should have a thorough understanding of the structure of the Electoral College, with states receiving vote allotments based largely, but not exclusively, on their populations. They should also understand how the "winner take all" system in use by most states tends to skew the map toward one that makes even a landslide election look a lot more one-sided than it really was! A Good Review of American Geography! The map included on the worksheets has electoral vote allotments marked, but state names are not indicated except for a few small states along the eastern seaboard. To answer questions, however, students will need to be able to identify several unmarked states. Students who do not know one state from another will benefit from using a standard map from their textbook or from an online source. Having to compare one map to another is a positive benefit -- it can help students learn a few more states! At the very least, it will point out to students that they don't yet know the U.S. map well, which means they need more practice and study with it. What This 1964 Electoral College Worksheet Includes ---Student worksheet with map and 12 critical thinking questions ---Student extended-thinking worksheet with map and 3 challenge prompts ---Detailed annotated answer key for the critical thinking worksheet ---Additional answer key for the challenge prompt worksheet

Senate Confirmation Hearing Worksheet

Senate Confirmation Hearing Worksheet

(0)
Instructions, lesson plan, and easy to use worksheet to help students track information and analyze the proceedings of the Senate during confirmation hearings for cabinet posts and Supreme Court justices. Helps teachers easily use video primary source footage in government, current events, and U.S. history classes! The Nitty-Gritty Here's how this Senate confirmation hearing worksheet works: • Students are asked to fill out the nominee, the position sought, the hearing context (full Senate? Specific committee instead?) and the date of the hearing. • Students wait for a question, then summarize it briefly. • Students determine if the question is fair to the nominee, and also if it is a valid question -- one which is appropriate to ask. They simply check off yes or no to this issue, since minimal writing means more attention can be paid to listening to the video feed. • Students listen to the nominee's answer and decide if they think the nominee should or should not be confirmed based on that single answer. • Students write comments as needed to explain their perspectives about questions or answers. That's all there is to it! A Class Lesson Plan for Watching a Confirmation Hearing My own usage of the worksheet looks approximately like this: • Briefly orient students to activity. Pass out worksheets. • Watch approx. 30 minutes of a confirmation hearing while students view with me and fill out their worksheets. • During the 30 minutes, hit pause or mute on the hearing as needed to clarify points for the class or ask them for feedback. After an interesting Q&A (typically 8 or 10 minutes of coverage), I might debrief with the class before resuming. On the other hand, I might wait until the 30 minutes are over and then debrief the students. • To debrief, I ask questions like this: Who thought the question wasn't fair or valid? Explain why you think that.... Who would confirm the nominee based on the last answer? Why? Who would refuse to confirm? Why? • I've found in my years of teaching that students in government really want to discuss issues and put forth their own views. When we debrief a confirmation hearing, I usually get a lot of participation and engagement, sometimes even from students who don't usually volunteer to speak in class!
