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.

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

Three Spanish American War worksheets: Multiple choice with 60 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! 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 victory in the Spanish-American War. About the student materials you will get in these Spanish-American War worksheets This teaching resource contains three different worksheets. All of them cover the same basic content: the causes, course, and consequences of the Spanish-American War. The first worksheet is a comprehensive multiple-choice overview of the Spanish-American War, containing 60 questions that can be answered using most high-school level textbooks or online resources related to the war. 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 it contains only 10 definitions, each one of which matches to a person or thing on the provided list. That is, there are not 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 Spanish American War Worksheets These question sets are titled “American Imperialism: The Spanish-American War” because they are not intended to be a comprehensive view of all 19th century American imperialism. Instead, they cover a limited range of topics: • Cuba’s ongoing conflicts with Spain in the late 1800s • American business interests in Cuba • Jose Marti’s rebellion and Spain’s response • Yellow journalism and growing war fever in America • The destruction of the U.S.S. Maine • Initial fighting in the Philippines • War readiness of the U.S. Army in 1898 • Fighting in Cuba; African American regiments, Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders • The provisions of the Treaty of Paris • American reactions to the idea of empire Other American imperialism topics, such as the Panama Canal and the Open Door Policy, will be covered in forthcoming question sets.

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.

Ratifying the Constitution Worksheets: Multiple choice with 48 questions for a thorough review or test, plus both a fast-correct and a full context answer key!

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

Looking for an *excellent* Industrial Revolution movie? Look no further than North & South, now playing on Netflix! With these North and South worksheets, you'll easily be able to assess your students' mastery of key plot points and real industrial revolutions problems/conditions. ABOUT THE TV MINISERIES NORTH & SOUTH (This is the BBC North & South, all about industrialization, *not* the American Civil War miniseries also called North and South) North & South is a 2004 BBC television production that brings to vivid life Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel of the same name. As such, it is an excellent portrayal of the Industrial Revolution, taking viewers inside not only a working cotton mill in approximately 1850, but also showcasing in detail the living and working conditions that textile workers experienced in northern England at this time. As the title indicates, the movie also delves into conditions in the still-agricultural South at this time, which makes the movie ideal for demonstrating the stark difference in English life that resulted from industrialization. It also makes an excellent tie-in to teaching the Romantics as a reaction against industrialization in favor of the beautiful, green landscapes characterizing the non-industrialized South at this time. Before I found North & South, I couldn’t come up with a good movie to illustrate this key period. As soon as I first saw it, I knew my long search was over. The movie has a romantic frame plot that is hugely engaging for high school students -- they enter into the plot emotionally and literally moan, groan, and cheer as the protagonists suffer through the trials of falling in love. And because the students are so engaged and interested, they really pay attention! That means they absorb a lot of wonderful historical detail, including:  The challenges inherent in forming an early union  The suffering and dynamics associated with strikes  The problems encountered by manufacturers, too  The values and morals of Victorian society  The difficulties ordinary people experience with market forces in action as capitalism takes full sway of the economy  Dreadful living conditions in crowded industrial cities  The reality of working in a cotton mill, including the use of child labor, what happens when a worker falls ill, and the likelihood of fires About the only drawback I have found to using North & South in class is that the full movie lasts four hours (it was a TV miniseries). Given the wealth of useful history it presents, however, I consider it four hours very well spent. WHAT THIS NORTH & SOUTH MOVIE GUIDE CONTAINS --4 detailed worksheets --Answer keys --3 Essay topics --9 Example Essays

Have you ever looked at catalogs and wished that you could find some classroom display materials that would stimulate a lot of thought and discussion about the nature of history itself -- instead of only about a limited topic such as the French Revolution? Have you wanted to find more mature display materials that would help your high school students feel that they are being treated as reasoning individuals nearing adulthood? If you are like me, you have decided that a lot of classroom displays for social studies are just too "elementary"-looking for high school students to appreciate. You have probably also longed for some permanent displays that could stay up all year and still be relevant every single day. The answer: Great Quotes about History These 48 famous quotations will stimulate thought and discussion even as they challenge students' preconceptions about what history really is, how it gets written, and why it can be interpreted so differently! I find my students looking up at them and studying them during pauses in instruction or when they have seat work to do. They also work as fantastic sponge and transition activities -- particularly if you print them out on a variety of different colors of paper. A great class starter is to challenge students to "find the orange quotation that most closely matches your view, and be prepared to explain why you agree with it." They can also be used as essay and debate topics, encouraging students all the while to do more than simply learn historical facts, but to reach a deeper understanding as to the role and purpose of history itself. Apart from any other instructional use, however, they make for a beautiful, relevant, and timeless set of classroom display materials -- these quotations are "evergreen" and will work well with any historical topic. WHAT YOU WILL GET IN THE ZIP DOWNLOAD FILE: Since teacher convenience and accessibility is a part of my whole philosophy, the full set contains: --a .pdf file to make sure that the pages will display as designed even if you lack the font I used --an editable .rtf file you can customize to suit yourself. I include this since you might want to add to the quotes as you see fit, change the font to an alternate you prefer, or switch away from black text if you have a color printer.

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.

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.
