Easy-to-correct worksheets designed to go with "The Men Who Built America," a highly engaging History Channel series covering the industrialization of the United States. This worksheet set matches Episode 1, or the first 80 minutes of content in the series.
These Men Who Built America worksheets provide students with almost 70 multiple choice problems, all of them presented in video order so that students can follow along and stay on task as they watch the episode. For student and teacher convenience, two different worksheets are included, one intended to go with the first half of the 80-minute episode and the other intended to match the second half.
WHERE TO FIND THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA
The series plays regularly on the History Channel and is also playing on Netflix. It can also be found on other streaming sites -- a simple Google search may be the best way to find places where it is currently available.
BOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE SERIES
The Men Who Built America starts with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and goes forward in mostly chronological order until the breakup of Standard Oil in the early decades of the 20th century.
It is usually presented as 4 "double episodes," each of which lasts about 80 minutes. These worksheets cover the first of these double episodes, "A New War Begins." However, sometimes the miniseries is shown as 8 shorter episodes instead. If your videos match this format, then these worksheets will go perfectly with the first two of your eight episodes.
HISTORY TOPICS COVERED IN EPISODE ONE
--Cornelius Vanderbilt
--The rise of the railroads to national prominence
--Cutthroat business tactics
--John D. Rockefeller
--Kerosene as the first major petroleum product
--Vertical integration as Rockefeller builds his business (i.e., if plumbers cost so much, "let's make our own pipes" for the refinery)
WINNER OF TWO EMMY AWARDS, The Men Who Built America is a really fantastic way to get students interested in the way the Industrial Revolution unfolded in the United States -- and how it affected both the "titans," and the common man!
Nothing livens up an economics class like a rousing good movie that dives deep into the real problems students are soon going to confront up front and personally when they enter the American work force. To get your students interested and debating the economic issues of our times, show Inequality for All in class and watch your students come alive with interest and at times, outrage!
ABOUT THE FILM: INEQUALITY FOR ALL
Inequality for All is a 2013 documentary about modern economic problems. It specifically focuses on the 2007-2008 financial crisis, exploring how the widening gap between the rich and the poor was a contributing factor that continues to plague us today. Presented by Robert Reich, the U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, the film examines how increasing wage inequality leads not only to economic suffering as demand falls, but also how it threatens American democracy itself.
The film is good viewing for students in high school courses covering economics, government, or 20th century American history. It fits well into the latter classes because Reich provides an analysis of how top tax rates during the 20th century tended to either increase or decrease levels of inequality, depending on how the top tax rate was set.
Differentiated Instruction at Your Fingertips!
This teaching packet provides fill-in-the-blank worksheets for students to complete as they watch the film. There are two basic level worksheets, labeled Cloze Worksheet A and Cloze Worksheet B. Each of these is entirely unique; there is no overlap of problems between them.
Each of the basic worksheets provides students with more than 30 fill-ins to complete as they watch the film.
There is also an advanced level worksheet. This worksheet is a combination of Worksheets A and B. It is best used with students who are able to work at a more rapid pace, keeping up with the film as they quickly jot down the key words missing from each problem.
The Advanced Worksheets provides students with more than 60 fill-ins to complete as they watch.
CRITICAL THINKING EMPHASIS -- MORE THAN 20 INEQUALITY FOR ALL ESSAY / DISCUSSION TOPICS
After viewing, review the film’s key points and help your students apply them to their own economic futures by using the MORE THAN 20 Essay Prompts / Discussion Topics. These are also great for generating debate and as the basis of a variety of projects!

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.
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.

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.
