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.

60 Multiple Choice Questions on Episode 2 of America: A History of Us America: The Story of US is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the United States in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This teaching packet covers Episode 2: “Revolution,” which tells the story of America’s struggle for independence from Great Britain. Using any of the series’ episodes in class opens up several useful possibilities. They are so well presented that they are easily understood by students. This in turn means that episodes can actually be used as an introduction to a topic or a unit. On the other hand, they also make excellent reinforcers, so some teachers will want to show the episodes after the end of a chapter or unit for use as a review or recap. ABOUT THIS TEACHING PACKET I’ve kept this episode versatility in mind when making these materials. This teaching resource contains both a worksheet and a test on the episode it covers. These two components are based on different approaches to the video: • The student viewing worksheet has 50 multiple choice questions, all presented in video order. These questions are fairly detailed. Certainly, many students will have good enough recall to be able to complete the worksheet after the episode has been shown, but because of the detailed nature of the questions, some teachers may want to use the worksheet as a “during-viewing” activity that will help students track information and stay on task . • The 10-question test, on the other hand, is designed to help students synthesize the episode’s information and see larger patterns that span different sections of it. My intent when writing the test was to focus solely on the “big issues” that arise from the targeted timespan of American history. Students who have paid attention to the video might should definitely have mastered these basic, fundamental issues from the targeted time period. All test questions are also multiple choice. • Two answer keys are provided for all questions. One is designed for fast grading. The other one provides the full context of question and answer to help teachers review material out loud or facilitate class discussions of the material. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES Because the worksheet and test take these different approaches, teachers can also use them to differentiate instruction. Since the test is much shorter and covers much more basic information, it can serve as a “basic” level viewing worksheet should teachers desire. The regular worksheet, in contrast, can double as an “advanced” viewing activity. keywords: American revolution, Saratoga, Valley Forge, Yorktown, John Burgoyne, Baron von Steuben

What better way to teach, review, and encourage broad learning than to use these fun interactive games in class? About these WWII Interactive History Games Cover the broad topic of "Global Conflict 1931-1941," the individual games address a variety of key issues of the period, including: American isolationism Early phase of WWII in Europe (up to 1941) The Holocaust American entry into World War Two Nuremberg Laws Battle of Britain Pearl Harbor Lend-Lease Act Mussolini Shoah Anschulss ...and many, many more! Activity Types included in these Early WWII Games The games include word games, crosswords, sports-scored games, anagrams, geography games, timed puzzles, put-the-events-in-order and many, many more. All the games are interactive and almost all of them are self-checking. Some of the games are also very appropriate as "teachable moments" -- the answer is "internationalism," so who can tell me more about that? Let's look at that in a little more detail before we continue to the next slide... you get the idea. The preview file contains 3 games and the full download has 11. All the games are locked, but people who purchase the full 11 game version of the file can contact me to request the password that will unlock the slides and let you edit the games, customizing them further with your own content, as much as you please.

A simple one-page PDF of play money for you to print out and use in games or simulations. One-dollar bills only, but for history simulations, there's no reason not to tell students that each bill represents $100 or $1000 or even $10,000 -- whatever would most suit the price levels of the time under study!

Three analysis worksheets designed to help students think critically as they carefully examine posters promoting the WPA, the CCC, and the Social Security program -- key elements of FDR's New Deal legislation intended to help the United States rise above the Great Depression! About These New Deal Primary Analysis Worksheets Using primary sources in class is a powerful way to illustrate history and bring it to life. When it comes to the New Deal, there's a huge wealth of primary sources in the form of propaganda posters readily available via image searches. The trouble with just using the images in class, however, is that all too often, students will simply glance at the poster before claiming to thoroughly understand it. Even when assigned to write a paragraph about a New Deal propaganda poster, students may only explore the most obvious points instead of delving deeper. A Focus on Analysis, not Just Observation! These New Deal Primary Source Propaganda worksheets ask students to do more than just note what images and text exist in the New Deal posters under study. They also require students to determine WHY certain text and image elements were included, using questions that explore issues such as: • What caused the artist to use a certain color scheme? • What was the propaganda poster creator trying to communicate by including certain image elements? • How does the overall look of the poster create a message of inclusion or exclusion from certain government programs and policies? • What do various design elements imply about the program or policy in question? Teacher Convenience Features • Three separate worksheets, each one focusing on a specific New Deal program. • Each worksheet includes a complete rendering of the poster under study along with six multiple choice questions for students to answer. • Two of the posters included are full-color, while one was created only in black and white. • Full answer keys are included for each worksheet. • Multiple choice means FAST correcting! • Includes two follow-up project ideas!

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.

This packet includes: --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... --Two-page excerpt of the Four Freedoms speech, easily printed on one sheet back and front --One-page sheet of complex, thought-provoking text-dependent questions that students complete during their "third read" through the text --Detailed answer key 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!

Great Depression Questions: How People Lived provides teachers with 46 true/false and multiple choice questions about life in the United States during the 1930s. 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. They are great discussion starters and help students visualize real life problems and issues 1929-1939. 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 emphasize Hoover's lack of success in dealing with the economic downturn. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES To help make teachers' professional lives as easy as possible, the questions are provided in several different formats: ----- Word processing (.rtf) file that Microsoft Word can open.

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 contributed 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!

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.

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.
