EXPLORE THE CRASH OF 1929 LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Even seasoned teachers might be surprised at some of the real-life stories brought to life in the video that goes with these worksheets. Did you know that in between shooting movie scenes, Groucho Marx was making frantic phone calls to his stock broker? Tidbits like that make this episode of "American Experience" really engaging for the students as they learn about the heyday of the Roaring Twenties and the causes of the crash that ended a decade of prosperity. These Crash of 1929 worksheet will help students stay on task and track important details as they watch the video, or they can double as a test given afterwards to assess how much of the information the students have mastered.
ABOUT THE VIDEO: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE -- THE CRASH OF 1929
These teaching packet is designed to accompany "The Crash of 1929," an episode of the award-winning PBS series American Experience. The episode lasts approximately 53 minutes, making it a near-perfect “fit” for one class period at a typical secondary school. However, the episode can be easily broken out into segments if teachers prefer to show the program over more than one day.
ABOUT THESE STOCK MARKET CRASH WORKSHEETS
All student worksheets are provided in two formats: consumable and reusable. The latter option allows teachers to spend less time copying since they can make one class set that can be used all day long and/or across multiple years. If you prefer to allow students to write directly on the worksheets, however, a consumable version with answer blanks is provided as well.
MORE THAN JUST AN ANSWER KEY.....
There are also two answer keys: one designed for fast correcting and one intended to facilitate discussion as it includes commentary on a number of answers such as the true/false problems that are actually false statements.
THE VIDEO'S GREAT... WHERE CAN YOU FIND IT?
The fastest and easiest way to find the program online is to run a simple Google search. Depending on availability, you may also see it on the official PBS website or on Netflix in addition to a number of other sites.
Teachers who would like to purchase a copy on DVD should look on sites like Amazon or eBay – since these outlets often offer used copies of DVDs, this is the most affordable option. New DVDs of most American Experience episodes are usually available from the PBS website. A final option is to closely watch your local PBS station for American Experience broadcast times since the Crash of 1929 episode does sometimes replay.
Looking for a teaching resource that zeros in on two of the most critical years in American history? This question set, which targets the important events of 1775 and 1776, helps students to dive deep into issues related to the colonies' decision to break from Great Britain.
TOPICS COVERED IN THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS
• Political as well as military moves toward independence -- The Second Continental Congress, The Olive Branch Petition, The Declaration of Independence, Bunker Hill
• Philosophical underpinnings of the independence movement -- John Locke's influence on Thomas Jefferson
• Great publications of the time -- Thomas Paine and Common Sense
• Two sides of the issue -- The point of view of Loyalists, the kinds of people in the colonies who gravitated toward the Loyalist cause
• Patriots and their supporters -- Their own demographic and socio-economic characteristics
• Diverse points of view -- What the prospect of independence would mean for Native Americans and African Americans
• Contributions of Great Americans -- John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and even lesser-known figures such as independence opponent John Dickinson
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.
WHAT THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS INCLUDE
• Multiple Choice Worksheet with 29 Questions
• Free Response Worksheet with 29 Questions
• Answer Key for each worksheet
The answer keys in this American Revolution resource are full-context so that teachers don't have to look back and forth, question to answer, when reviewing material with the class. Everything needed to go over questions and answers with the class is grouped together for teacher convenience.
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.
