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

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

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

Civic Engagement Crossword Puzzle (U.S. Government Puzzle Worksheets)

Civic Engagement Crossword Puzzle (U.S. Government Puzzle Worksheets)

(0)
U.S. Government Worksheet Puzzle Focusing on the ways in which people in the United States band together in cooperative associations to improve their local communities, states, nation, and the world! These puzzles focus on the civic engagement, exploring a key facet of United States culture identified by Alexis de Tocqueville: the tendency of Americans to participate in groups, working together to identify problems and reform society. Differentiated Learning is Embedded in these Civic Engagement Crossword Puzzle Worksheets This packet contains worksheets with two levels of difficulty to help teachers differentiate the material for their students. The first crossword included features a standard format with just the puzzle grid and the clues list. The second crossword puzzle page, however, is intended for students that need learning aids – it also includes a Word Bank list that will assist students in filling out the puzzle by providing them with all of the possible answers. This “basic" level puzzle still requires students to think critically, though – they have to read each clue and figure out which word bank entry best suits it. Teacher Convenience Features in these Civic Engagement Puzzle Worksheets This packet includes a traditional crossword puzzle answer key that shows the words filled into their correct slots. However, to help teachers who want to conduct a class discussion on the terms, there is also an “Answer List” page that matches up the key words with their clues. This format means that teachers don’t have to hunt for answers on the grid when they are discussing items with the class!
