Teach with Humor using World History Crash Course!
Few classroom strategies are as successful as this simple approach: make learning fun! That, or course, is easier said than done, but when it comes to teaching history contents, the YouTube series Crash Course World History is a great place to start.
The script of each episode is packed with humorous observations about life and culture -- ones that help to make strong points about the history being communicated. Just as importantly, the host, John Green, has what it takes to keep students' interest: enthusiasm about the topics, a quirky way with props, and a funny, sometimes deadpan delivery of content. Students like watching the series, which means they pay attention to it and learn!
Each episode of Crash Course contains about 10 minutes of content plus a brief time for the credits. Episodes are available for free on YouTube at the following playlist:

----TIME STAMPS OPTION TO HELP STUDENT AND TEACHER INCLUDED FOR ALL EPISODES!-----
This set of worksheets covers the following episodes:
• The Agricultural Revolution
• Indus Valley Civilization
• Mesopotamia
• Ancient Egypt
• The Persians and the Greeks
All questions are presented in video order so that students can easily follow along, but these worksheets are not mere outlines that merely ask students to generate their own notes. Instead, they focus in on certain key issues that students watching the videos should master in order to have a clear and concise understanding of the topic under study.
---> Please note the bargain pricing!! At just $5.00 for 5 worksheets, that's only a dollar per worksheet, making this a truly affordable addition to your history repertoire!
Help your students master key information about ancient Greece's two most famous city-states: Athens and Sparta!
Most world history textbooks give an overview of the two city-states, but few take the next step of helping students compare and contrast them in detail. The more we can get students to think critically, the more they will learn and remember, and these worksheets are designed with that principle in mind.
To that end, this packet includes several resources:
• A compare/contrast chart with dozens of descriptors about ancient Greece. For each, students identify if the description matches Athens, Sparta, or both.
• A set of 26 follow-up questions about Athens, with many of them designed to reinforce key content vocabulary such as democracy, tyrant, and oligarchy. Others take basic information about Athens and work in additional supporting details to give students a clearer picture of ancient Greece.
• A set of 26 follow-up questions about Sparta, with many of them designed to reinforce key vocabulary also. Emphasis is given to the military aspect of life in Sparta, but other topics, including their unusual system of government, are covered as well.
• Full answer keys to all activities.
All follow-up questions are multiple-choice.
Whether you are studying the ancient world in detail or quickly reviewing it as part of a "evolution of modern government" emphasis, these Athens and Sparta activity worksheets will help your students gain more insight into the Golden Age of Greece.

• Columbus, De Gama, and Zheng He
• The Renaissance: Was it a Thing?
• The Columbian Exchange
• The Atlantic Slave Trade

This resource consists of a large question set --more than 100 questions!-- that will engage student interest about the U.S. Constitution. How? Through scenarios when possible! In this way, students are asked to *apply* government knowledge, not just recite it. For example, instead of rattling off the list of requirements to be eligible for President, students are presented with brief life histories and asked which of the people described are actually eligible.
I BELIEVE IN MAKING THINGS AS CONVENIENT AS POSSIBLE FOR HARD-WORKING TEACHERS!
Articles I, II, and III are all treated separately so that you can discuss a portion of the Constitution and then have a quiz or review session, knowing that the questions at your fingertips are specific to JUST the article under study.
When you have finished reading/discussing the Constitution with your class, you can combine all the Examview banks into one test for a final assessment!
A VARIED APPROACH TO QUESTIONING STUDENTS
All questions are True/False/Yes/No or Multiple Choice, and many of them are "scenario" questions that students find intriguing... for example: "You are a Senator. During your term of office, Congress creates a new job: deputy undersecretary for labor relations with Indonesia. Once you leave the Senate, can you take this job?"
The information in the Constitution is thus personalized -- scenario questions strive to demonstrate applications of the rules the government must follow.
FOCUS ON THE FRAMERS
This question set covers the original Constitution only, meaning Articles I-VII. It does not cover any of the amendments. I treat those separately because in my class, we take a close look first at the Constitution as originally conceived, and when we thoroughly understand THAT, then we look at how time and circumstances have contributed to the amendment process. Articles IV-VII are treated together since each one is relatively short compared to the first three articles.
LOOK AT ALL THE CONTENT INCLUDED!
In this download, you will get:
-- 40 questions on Article I and the Preamble
-- 27 questions on Article II
-- 15 questions on Article III
-- 46 questions on Articles IV-VII.
GREAT FOR TRADITIONAL PRINTOUTS --OR-- FOR ELECTRONIC EDUCATION
You will receive all the questions in several formats, the better to match your teaching style, available technology, and your instructional needs:
----- Word processing (.rtf) file that Microsoft Word can open.
----- Examview Test file (.tst).
----- Examview Test bank (.bnk)
As we all know, the Common Core demands a great deal more from teachers -- not least, the use of complex texts that challenge students to closely read for understanding. The judicial opinion in the landmark Supreme Court Case Marbury v. Madison is an example of such a text, and now with this teaching packet, teachers can easily implement a close reading of it in English or history classes.
This packet includes:
--Detailed background information, including fun facts, to help teachers gain a thorough understanding of the court case Marbury v. Madison
--Step by step teaching procedure to guide the class through a "first read," "second read," and "third read."
--Annotation guide appropriate for secondary student use -- illustrated, but not too cute...
--One-page excerpt of the Marbury v. Madison court decision -- just enough extracted that students can complete the close reading in a reasonable time!
--Two-page sheet of complex, thought-provoking text-dependent questions that students complete during their "third read" through the text
--Detailed answer key
--Full opinion of the court included for context and/or teacher reference
All questions in this packet are free-response, asking students to compose answers at least a paragraph in length
Making the Common Core more accessible is easy with the right materials!

WHAT BUYERS ARE SAYING!!
• A+++
• I found this to be very helpful for the Magna Carta.
• This is an excellent resource! My special education high school class had higher level discussions concerning the differences between the "beliefs" discussed/tested.
________________________________________________________________
This Judeo-Christian / Greco-Roman mini course will help students relate the moral and ethical principles in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, in Judaism, and in Christianity to the development of Western political thought!
These activities are designed to assist students to analyze the similarities and differences in Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman views of three specific elements of Western politica thought: aw, reason vs faith, and the duties of the individual.
WHY I DEVELOPED THIS MINI-COURSE
Teaching Judeo/Christian and Greco/Roman traditions was challenging for me for a long time because in my view, even the "best" textbooks didn't do an adequate job of focusing on those key three topics when it comes to the two historical traditions.
Creating these charts was my way of supplementing the textbook material; when I got a Smart Board I made the charts interactive, and then I made an assessment to match the charts so I could measure what students were getting from the mini-course.
WHAT THIS JUDEO-CHRISTIAN & GRECO-ROMAN MINI-COURSE INCLUDES
--Smart Board interactive sorting activity
--Examview testbank for assessment
--Word version of the testbank for use in making worksheets or testing with paper and pencil.
I used to sell each of these separately but I decided it made more sense to bundle them into an integrated unit.
DETAILS ABOUT EACH PROGRAM ELEMENT
----Smart Board interactive sorting activity:
Includes blank Venn diagrams to generate discussion, Venn diagrams with details about the two traditions for students to practice with, and answer slides.
The Venn diagrams relate specifically to Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman views regarding
1) law
2) faith versus reason and
3) duties of the individual.
Each topic is treated separately and in detail. The preview file demonstrates how one of the three topics is dealt with by using a brainstorming, sorting, and answers-provided chart.
-----Examview Question Bank
24 Multiple Choice Questions
----Word file version of the Question Bank
For editing or printing off worksheets.
SUGGESTED TEACHING PLAN
1 or 2 days using the Smart Board activity to teach the elements of each tradition to the class. Then use the Examview or word file to assess the students' learning of the material. This is a complete teaching unit including assessment, ready to go.
Do you need to see how much your students remember about three key revolutions at once? Do you need to help them review the Glorious, American, and French Revolutions so they can attain true mastery of the Age of Revolutions?
Whether you are looking for a set of practice worksheets or a solid review test on the big ideas underpinning these revolutions and their significance, these materials may be just the ticket!
As any history teacher knows, there is a big difference between getting students to master a single revolution and bringing them to the point where they are conversant in several at once. Only when a teacher has accomplished that last feat, however, does it become possible to see and understand connections across eras, which of course is essential to truly seeing the great sweep of history in all its glory.
These materials were developed in response to the need for review materials that would require students to actively think about the ways in which the Glorious, American, and French Revolutions are similar and different.
These worksheets assume that all three revolutions have already been covered in class. That means that now, students are ready to begin the much more challenging work of analyzing larger patterns in history. These worksheets will help students to recall key points about each revolution so that they are truly in command of the facts as they begin to think more broadly about the Age of Revolutions and role this century-plus era played in the history of the world.
STRUCTURE AND FORMAT
The worksheets contain 56 multiple choice questions delivered in a variety of structured formats (see below for more information). In addition to the multiple choice section, the worksheets contain an essay prompt to help deepen understanding of the issues under study. Doing the multiple choice activity will help get students into the right mindset to write the essay since it will remind them of many, many issues they previously learned regarding the Glorious, French, and American Revolutions.
EASY DIFFERENTIATION WITH BOTH GUIDED AND STANDARD FORMATS!
NO PREP -- INCLUDES BOTH REUSABLE AND CONSUMABLE VERSIONS!
20 questions on the Magna Carta. These are basic questions focusing on the main idea of the document -- written limitations on government power. There are 20 questions. 11 are T/F, 7 are Multiple Choice, 1 is numeric and 1 is fill-in-the-blank.
The questions all cover basics that any student should know about the Magna Carta after a brief lecture or after reading any standard textbook presentation of the topic.
TEACHER CONVENIENCE IS A HALLMARK OF MY PRODUCTS.
Therefore, you will receive the questions in two formats:
1)Word Processor File (.rft) -- this can be printed off to make worksheets or tests and can easily be edited to customize the questions or add specific content to match your program or teaching emphasis.
2) Examview .tst file. This allows you to use the questions with computer-based testing or student clicker systems like CPS. No need to type anything in -- the work is already done for you!
Each file type comes with an answer key.
Help your students to understand like never before three key Enlightenment philosophers: John Locke, the Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau!
In this single download, you will receive four different multiple-choice question sets:
--one just on John Locke
--one just on Montesquieu
--one just on Rousseau
--one that contrasts the three philosopher's ideas - ideal for a "final exam" on the unit
Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products.
Therefore, all four of the files come in multiple formats so that they will work for you no matter what your teaching style. You will get all four question sets as:
--.rtf so that you can edit them in a word processor if you like. You can also print off tests in this format.
--.bnk Examview Bank files so that you can combine the question sets together if you like and use them with electronic testing or clicker systems. The .bnk files will let you combine all four files into a master test, if you like and scramble the questions to make several different versions.
--.tst Examview Test files so that you can print tests from Examview or use electronic testing/clicker systems.
These questions are great for teaching AND review/assessment.
The full download has 17 questions just on Locke, 13 on Montesquieu, 12 on Rousseau, and 21 final activity questions that contrast the philosophers with one another.
These questions are perfect for generating class discussion of the topic under study!

• The Silk Road and Ancient Trade
• The Roman Republic and Empire

How did the United States first start to become a world power? That's a complex question, but one of the key factors was the nation's drive toward acquisition of new lands in the late 1800s. This set of worksheets is perfect to help students master this phase of U.S. history -- it covers what I call "The Basics" of American Imperialism. Through a series of multiple-choice questions, students will address issues such as:
--The historical context in which American imperialism began
--The motives and driving forces fueling American expansionism
--The acquisition of Alaska
--The overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and acquisition of Alaska
--The role of Alfred T. Mahan in promoting the need for a strong, modern navy
I BELIEVE IN TEACHER EMPOWERMENT.
That's why you will receive not one but two student worksheets in this no-prep easy-print packet.
You will receive:
--A detailed question set consisting of 42 problems dealing at a deep level with all the issues listed above. This set is great to use as an advanced level, a webquest, or a practice activity to be completed with the use of any U.S. history textbook.
--A summation question set consisting of 14 problems dealing at a basic level with the "big ideas" that all students should definitely master. This "summary questions only" set works extremely well as test or quiz to be completed as a final assessment after students have worked their way through the longer question set. It can also function as an aid with differentiated instruction -- students who would benefit from a more streamlined worksheet or assessment can use this set to zero in on the key points they should be learning about American imperialism and the major historical figures involved.
I BELIEVE IN TEACHER CONVENIENCE.
I call the student pages "worksheets," but they can also be used as quizzes, tests, or even as discussion guides. This last use is possible because I have grouped the questions in logical ways. All the questions on the detailed question set are grouped by topic -- all the problems relating to Alaska appear together, for example.
Because the shorter question set might be used as an American imperialism test or quiz, however, the questions on this set are not presented in strict logical groupings.
These imperialism question sets can meet the needs of both your advanced and your struggling learners!

46 true/false and multiple choice questions about life in the United States during the Great Depression. You could use these as a "teaser" or interest-generator when you first begin your study of the Great Depression, or use them after presenting the material to see how many of the basics your students have grasped. These are great discussion starters and help students visualize the real life problems Americans encountered from 1929 to 1939.
These questions are at the basic level and focus on how the Great Depression affected the ordinary person. They emphasize intriguing facts such as people collecting coal falling from trains in order to heat homes and cook. They also cover Hoover's lack of success in dealing with the economic downturn.
TEACHERS DESERVE OPTIONS!
That's why this download will provide you with two different versions of this Great Depression worksheet: a reusable one that can be copied off and used over and over, and a consumable one designed for students to write on. You know your students best -- you can decide which of the formats is best suited to your classes.
A full answer key is, of course, provided.

Teachers are always on the lookout for materials that will provide some variety, and history teachers are no exception. One great way to add interest to a history class is to work in a little math.
These worksheets are user-friendly and include not just answers but also solutions explained in detail. This makes them perfect for teachers that love history, but who aren't specialists in math.
Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products.
I believe in providing teachers with a variety of materials based around the same problem set. This way, teachers have lots of choices at their fingertips and can more easily adapt materials to their own needs. With this in mind, with this download you will get:
• a PDF file of all problems/worksheets for easy printing
• a word processing file so that you can just as easily edit the worksheets
• a PowerPoint presentation so that you can display the problems and their solutions on a screen and go through them one by one if desired. The PowerPoint presentation is fully illustrated with period photographs. The worksheets, on the other hand, have been streamlined to make xeroxing as fast and simple as possible.
More Information: Why include math in a history class?
Occasionally including math-based problems in the history curriculum has a number of outstanding benefits:
• Help students to keep math skills fresh and sharp.
• Provide the class with something quite different from the other lessons for the week.
• Demonstrate how math skills are useful in other contexts.
• Encourage cooperative learning and peer-tutoring.
• Differentiate instruction.
About the materials provided
These math problems are designed to provide teachers with a self-contained lesson that combines basic math skills with interesting historical information about the Russian Revolution. All facts and figures needed to solve the math problems are included in the problems themselves. This is not just about math, however; even as students are crunching numbers, they will be acquiring some key, basic information about the events under study. This "learning through the back door" approach will help to reinforce facts already learned; by working with data instead of just being asked to "learn" it, historical information can be more thoroughly acquired.
The materials include two worksheets, each containing 10 problems. One is structured as a multiple-choice problem set while the other one is designed to allow for free response. Teachers can differentiate instruction by providing students with one version or another based on degree of math mastery or other factors.
Both worksheets are designed to fit on a single double-sided sheet of paper so that copying and storage needs can be minimized.
Students respond really well to humor, and you'll see some in this fun question set about the plight of the American farmer in the 1920s and 1930s. A major focus is the Dust Bowl, but the questions also cover how WWI contributed to farmers overproducing and borrowing too much money, all of which led to economic woes even before the Dust Bowl hit.
39 true/false and multiple choice questions in all -- a lot of them amusing so that students will be engaged, enthusiastic, and learn a lot!
TEACHERS NEED CHOICES!
Some teachers like to have their students write on worksheets and use them up, while others prefer to make file copies they can reuse time and again. This set of Great Depression worksheets includes both consumable and reusable versions already set up for use.
No matter what format works best for you, the hard work has already been done!
A full answer key is provided for each of the question sets, with detailed annotations included for many of the questions.
