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)

37-problem cloze viewing worksheet, crossword puzzle review designed for differentiated learning, and helpful teaching aids to assist you as you lead your students through a fun and engaging review of U.S. history as told through key Supreme Court cases that clearly show the various eras the nation has experienced! This video activity packet is intended for use with the excellent PBS series The Supreme Court. The series consists of four episodes, each lasting an hour. Through watching all four episodes, students will be explore in chronological order the entire history of the Supreme Court up through the early 21st century. The program first aired on PBS in 2007 but will remain relevant for many, many years to come! What This PBS The Supreme Court Episode 2 Worksheet Packet Includes: • Comprehensive fill-in worksheet with 37 problems: All problems are presented in video order so that students can follow along. Doing the worksheet as they watch requires students to pay close attention to all narration so they can “catch” the next problem coming up. This leads to higher student engagement with the video and more learning! • Student answer sheet: The student worksheet is formatted to discourage students from writing directly on their copies. This way, teachers can make one class set and use it for years, saving them both time and paper! Students can write on their own paper, of course, but using the included answer sheet will facilitate super-fast grading since it will guarantee that student answers “line up” perfectly with the answer key. • Answer key for fast grading: This key perfectly matches the student answer sheet so that teachers can correct 3, 5, or even more papers at once should they choose – just spread them out carefully so all student pages line up with the key, and you’ll be able to correct student work in nothing flat! • Answer key for going over answers with the class: Instead of grading the papers yourself, you can have students grade themselves or each other with this key. Instead of just reading out the right answer, you can make the “correcting phase” a learning/review experience by reading students the whole sentence they were looking at during viewing, pausing when the answer appears to let the class or selected students supply the correct answer. This lets students hear the key sentences again, helping to reinforce key concepts and information! • Teacher reference materials: Included is a list of all the laws and court cases discussed during the episode, as well as a full transcript of the episode’s narration in case you want to quickly review what the program had to say on a particular topic. • Crossword puzzle activity: Differentiated for basic and advanced learners; 27 words & clues!

History and government never had it so good! These posters, each featuring a fascinating quotation from Alexis de Tocqueville, will help your students see fascinating aspects of the American character when it comes to issues of liberty and democracy. Instead of looking out into a sea of glazed faces, as is all too common in high school history and civics classes, get your students engaged and debating, using as a starting-off point one of the greatest students of American politics of all time -- even though he was a rank amateur! ABOUT ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE Alexis de Tocqueville was a Frenchman who traveled the United States during the early 1800s, writing down his observations about the American character -- particularly as it applied to freedom, politics, and government. His insights into the American mind were so profound that his great work, Democracy in America, is still studied today in both high school and college classrooms. De Tocqueville can be tough reading, however. With this set of classroom display posters and discussion starters, you can start having some great conversations with the whole class or small groups, but without wading through a lot of written material. Alternatively, these quotations can serve to reinforce and encapsulate the de Tocqueville selections your students may be reading! ENGAGE STUDENTS IN DISCUSSION These classroom display posters make for outstanding discussion starters about the nature of politics and democracy in the United States. All of the quotes are from Democracy in America, a ground-breaking work about the U.S. political landscape in the early 1800s. As you can see, de Tocqueville’s observations are still highly accurate and relevant today! ABOUT THESE DE TOCQUEVILLE POSTERS ----> Each poster is sized to fit onto an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper so that teachers can use their usual classroom or personal printers to print them out ----> The thumbnails show four different border and font styles because you will get all of the posters in all four styles! ---->The download includes PDF files of all posters so that printing will be a snap. ----> The download also includes editable files (Microsoft Word .docx format) of all posters so that the entire Tocqueville classroom display set is completely customizable. Should you wish to change it to use your own fonts, colors, and borders, you'll have an easy way to do it. You can even add in additional great quotations if you like. ----> All posters are designed by default to use black lettering on a white background. This is so that teachers without color printers can produce crisp, clean posters. If you *do* have a color printer, however, it will be a simple matter to use a color font to jazz things up.

My Boy Jack Movie Worksheets are designed for use with the excellent WWI film "My Boy Jack" starring Daniel Radcliffe and David Haig. ABOUT THE MOVIE: MY BOY JACK My Boy Jack is a dramatic presentation (not a documentary) telling the true story of Rudyard Kipling and his son, who was killed in World War I -- but who arguably should not have been allowed to join up at all, since he didn't meet the vision requirements for battlefield work. As such, the movie raises profound questions about the duties of patriotism and of parenting, even as it portrays *both* life in the trenches and on the home front. TOPICS COVERED IN THESE MY BOY JACK WORKSHEETS Topics covered in the movie include • nationalism • British empire • Motivations for war / Causes of WWI • Total War • Life on the UK home front • Trench warfare As you can see, all very appropriate and topical for world history and European history classes! SET UP WITH TEACHER NEEDS IN MIND The questions are organized into three separate files, each one covering a specific portion of the movie. The segments are timed such that in a normal high school period, you would have enough time to show a full segment of the movie and then use the associated question set with the students as either a quiz or discussion-starter activity. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING: A THREE-DAY PLAN OR A TWO-DAY PLAN In this way you could show the 90 minute movie over a three day period and do assessment on it as you go. Another option would be to print out the Word files included in the download and have students fill them out as worksheets while the movie plays. In this way the entire movie could be completed in two class periods, including assessment being done as it plays. 68 Questions total, all true/false or multiple choice for super-fast correcting! FULLY EDITABLE FILES All questions are provided in both Word format for paper/pencil use and also in Examview format so that if you want to use them in CPS or Examview, you will not have to type them in. Either way, you can edit the files if you want to customize them! LOOKING FOR A CRITICAL THINKING OPTION? To help students analyze the film in more detail -- and to help personalize the experience of watching it, so students feel much more drawn into the action, you might want to look at my My Boy Jack Critical Thinking Questions, also here at TES. Movie Questions by Elise Parker.

_________________________________________________ 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.

GET REAL IN GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS CLASSES WITH A CRITICAL LOOK AT OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM Sicko, released in 2007 by famed documentary-maker Michael Moore, addresses the crisis in health care in the United States. The film heavily focuses on the problems of Americans who actually have health insurance – but it is insurance that in many ways leaves them in the lurch when they have a major problem. INCLUDED IN THIS SICKO MOVIE GUIDE AND WORKSHEETS PACKET You will get 120 Sicko movie questions, all presented in video order so that students can follow along, answering as they pay attention to the movie – though it is equally possible to use the questions after viewing as a test or quiz follow-up, or even as a way to review content and spur class discussion. All questions are provided as both multiple choice and free response problems. You will also get 7 follow-up topics to get students thinking more deeply about the movie’s issues so they can formulate their own points of view. These topics work equally well for debate and discussion, essays, and projects, giving teachers a lot of flexibility. Full answer keys are provided, along with detailed introductory teaching notes as well as guidance notes on the discussion and essay topics. EASY DIFFERENTIATION WITH BOTH BASIC AND ADVANCED LEVELS PROVIDED! All 120 questions are provided in both multiple choice and free response formats so that teachers can easily differentiate, with both basic and advanced worksheet versions available at their fingertips. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES Questions are numbered sequentially so that teachers can start and stop the movie whenever it suits them, instead of trying to match their instruction to worksheets that divide the movie up into pre-established segments.

Three Slavery and Abolition worksheets: Multiple choice with 74 questions for a thorough review or test, plus 2 matching worksheets -- one basic, one advanced so you can have differentiated learning materials at your fingertips! All three of these Slavery Worksheets / Abolition Worksheets cover the same basic content: the institution of slavery in the United States from about 1800 through 1860, as well as the growing abolition movement taking hold of the nation during that time. The first worksheet is a comprehensive multiple-choice exercise focused on slavery and abolition, containing 74 questions that can be answered using most high-school level textbooks or online resources related to United States slavery in the 1800s. The last two worksheets consist of matching problems designed to help students do a targeted review of key people and items that they should have mastered. Because the matching worksheets focus only on these highly important historical entries, they work very well as quizzes or tests. Matching Worksheet A is the “basic” version of such a test because there are no extraneous answers provided as distractors. Teachers may find that Worksheet A is perfect for students who benefit from more streamlined materials. Matching Worksheet B, on the other hand, is the “advanced” version of the same test. Questions and answers are identical to those on the “ basic” matching worksheet, but additional unused answers are also mixed in so that students have more entries to choose from. CONTENT INCLUDED IN THESE SLAVERY WORKSHEETS / ABOLITION WORKSHEETS These question cover the following range of topics commonly studied in U.S. history / American history classes: • Anti-slavery societies and the plan for resettlement of freed slaves in Africa • Influence of preachers / ministers / religion in the abolition movement • William Lloyd Garrison and his abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator • David Walker and his call for slaves to fight for their freedom • Frederick Douglass and his abolitionist newspaper, The North Star • Conditions for rural and urban slaves in the 1800s • Solomon Northrup and his experiences as 12 Years a Slave • Nat Turner’s Rebellion • Slave codes • Justifications for slavery • Petitions for abolition in the nation’s capital, and the “gag rule” reaction

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.

Use these Gandhi Movie Worksheets to Bring a Modern Independence Movement to Life! We've all been there -- wracking our brains to try to figure out how to encourage students to pay better attention during a movie. These movie worksheets will take the guesswork out of figuring out how much each student is really following along and listening when the class is watching the Academy-Award winning 1982 film Gandhi, starring Ben Kingsley in the title role. The worksheets provide 123 unique fill-in-the-blank problems for students to complete as they watch the movie. Each of the problems requires student to pay close attention, which will of course help them learn and retain more! An added bonus is that using the worksheets will also help students better figure out who is who on-screen, since many of the dialog segments are labeled with the character's name -- no more mixing up Nehru with Jinnah, for example! History Matters The cloze answers are far from random -- each one was specifically selected as an important history element that students should be aware of. Having students listen for and then write down these key terms such as partition and non-violence will help to draw their attention to those concepts, in essence highlighting them for the students. I am always personally amazed by the mastery level I get from the students after using cloze worksheets like this -- when I stop the movie for the day and collect their papers, then read aloud a few of the cloze problems they solved in the last 40 minutes, a significant number of them can rattle the answers off from memory, showing that they really did learn something; the movie didn't just go in one ear and out the other. Differentiation is Key Because I know full well that a one-size-fits-all approach to instruction can miss more than it hits, I have provided both basic and advanced levels of the cloze worksheets. In the case of the basic level, there are even two different worksheets for students to do. That way, if teachers want to make sure answers aren't shared from one class to another or across rows in the same class, the solution is at their fingertips. Teacher Convenience is a MUST! I know you're busy, so these Ghandi cloze worksheets are designed to minimize implementation time. Both advanced and basic worksheets come in two flavors: reusable and consumable. Keywords: Gandhi, India, Indian history, Mahatma, nationalism, south Asia, Jinnah, Nehru, partition, Pakistan, British colonialism, the jewel in the crown, Raj, decolonization, de-colonization, Indian Independence, Amritsar Massacre

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.

______________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Excellent resource for the movie. ---I used it today with the movie. It was awesome. Nice job ---Great questions for the end of the year assignment ______________________________________________________ These Thirteen Days Worksheets consist of a comprehensive set of questions covering the movie "Thirteen Days" about the Cuban Missile Crisis. 138 questions in all, but super-fast to correct since they're all True/False or Multiple Choice! STRUCTURE OF THESE THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE QUESTIONS WORKSHEETS You will get two full sets of questions, each covering the entire movie. 1) One set is divided into files that address very specific timed portions of the movie, so if you show from the start to 25 minutes in, for example, you will have an assessment ready to go for just that portion of the movie. 2) The other set is made up of general files that don't have time-stamps on them but cover approximately 1/4 of the movie each. See the free preview file, which has 20 True/False, 11 Multiple Choice, and 1 Numeric Question. This file is a general one that covers about the first fourth of the movie. HOW TO USE THESE THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE QUESTION WORKSHEETS Because you will have TWO complete sets of movie questions, you can use one set as quick assessments during the showing, and the other as a final assessment! This is a good way to use the materials, since it means that the final test is not made up of the exact same questions students have already worked with, even though it will cover the same material. The "time stamped" question sets provide 44 questions while the "general" sets provide 94 additional questions. Formats 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 one set of files to make a during-viewing paper/pencil worksheet and combine the other set of files to make a post-test.) --->.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. Movie Questions by Elise Parker

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!

A Comprehensive Set of Cloze Worksheets to accompany the PBS documentary "American Experience: George Wallace -- Settin' the Woods on Fire" This 3-hour episode of American Experience explores the life and controversial legacy of Alabama governor and presidential candidate George Wallace, delving deep into the Civil Rights Movement that characterized both his rise and fall. The tag line for the film says it all: "He preached 'Segregation now, segregation forever -- then asked to be forgiven." FEATURES OF THESE GEORGE WALLACE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE WORKSHEETS --More than 100 cloze / fill-in problems for students to complete as they watch the film --Divided into two separate worksheets, one for each part of the video series --All problems in video order --NO PREP -- just print and go! --Both full context and full transcript answer keys included. WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO American Experience: George Wallace plays from time to time on local 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. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES 1) All worksheets are designed to be re-usable so that teachers can make file copies and use them over and over. To this end, answer "blanks" in the cloze problems actually consists of five dashes in a row, like this: -----. This makes the blank too short to write on; the position in the vertical midpoint of the line will also discourage students from writing on their George Wallace worksheets. Students are therefore likely to record answers on their own paper! 2) Two answer keys are provided: a full-context one which replicates the student worksheet problems so that teachers can see what students were looking at. This helps with reviewing answers with the class. Also included is a full transcript answer key which will let teachers dive deeper into the context of surrounding passages, should they desire.

Few movies have captured Dr. Martin Luther King so thoroughly as the Academy Award-winning "Selma," which details the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the landmark Civil Rights movement Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights. A great movie is one thing, but making it work in class can be another. That's where these Selma Movie Worksheets come in. Providing more than 60 fill-in-the-blank problems based on the movie characters' statements, it makes the movie a lot more accessible to students, helping them understand the people and events far more thoroughly than they otherwise would. Since students need to fill these out as they watch, the movie worksheets not only hold students accountable for paying attention, they also help them learn *more* as they take in the events of Selma in 1965! ---All problems focus in on key terms and phrases that really matter for understanding the Civil Rights era. ---All problems provide students with the name of the character delivering the dialog, so it's much easier to keep track of who is who and who did what! MORE THAN JUST WORKSHEETS The Selma Movie Worksheets set also contains a wealth of follow-up prompts that can be used as project assignments, discussion starters, essay topics, or research prompts. EVER WONDER ABOUT THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF A MOVIE SHOWN IN CLASS? With these Selma Movie Worksheets, the research into historical accuracy is already done for you. Teacher resource materials in the packet include a brief discussion of the main historical issues critics have identified with the movie, as well as helpful links to places online where teachers can learn more if they wish. In general, however, Selma was praised for its high degree of historical accuracy, which makes it an excellent movie to use in class. Perfect for Black History Month or Martin Luther King Day, "Selma" would also fit well into any unit on the Civil Rights Movement / 1960s or one that focuses on President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Hot Coffee Brings the Real World Right Into Your Classroom! Textbooks often present an idealized view of both government and economics, detailing how things are supposed to work instead of what actually happens out there in the real world. Hot Coffee can show students the rest of the story, revealing how the civil justice system has been compromised in recent decades. Students will see how: • Many people have lost all right to “have their day in court” when they suffer serious harm • Juries in many states no longer have the power they used to • Big business interests are taking control of the courts by attacking judges they feel might rule against them • Advertising campaigns orchestrated by big business interests have persuaded Americans to support a steady erosion of their rights Students Love Watching Hot Coffee! The movie Hot Coffee really gets students thinking hard about the country in which they live. How do I know? I hear them talking, and I don’t just mean during class discussions that are structured and organized by me as we proceed through the movie’s four segments. When the bell rings to end class, they’re still talking, and they keep it up as they’re walking out the door and heading to their next class! In fact, a number of other teachers have come to me about the movie because their students have brought it up in other classes, either because they can’t stop talking about it or because they find a way to work it into issues under study there as well! Why do students like the movie so much? • It’s engaging, building information around four real-world cases in which people got hurt and found themselves confronting the new reality of a compromised civil justice system. • It presents a counterpoint to textbook presentations, which can come across as fake to students because books are often unwilling to critique the country. • Each of the movie’s four segments is short enough to capture and keep their attention. Teacher Convenience Features of these Hot Coffee Movie Worksheets --All 105 questions are in the multiple choice format so that they can be easily and quickly graded, both by students correcting their own work or by busy teachers. --These Hot Coffee worksheets are provided in two formats so that teachers can have materials that automatically match the whole movie, or that match just one segment at a time if they are showing the movie in the logical chunks into which the director has divided it.
