Students learn best through immediate feedback. These activities provide that. They are html files; load them into any web browser and students will be presented with a detailed narrative about U.S. History -- with some words missing. They fill in the blanks using the drop-down lists provided and can check their own answers as they go. These Interactive U.S. History Games will allow you to individualize and personalize instruction. Students consider them both fun and challenging! WHAT THESE INTERACTIVE U.S. HISTORY GAMES INCLUDE Your download will consist of a zip file containing 14 web pages of fill-in exercises. These exercises are interactive and self-correcting if used on a computer -- though they can be printed out to make static fill-in worksheets that students do at their desks. The 14 pages will take students sequentially through the eras of settlement, revolution, and the Constitution in United States History. SIMPLE TO SET UP, EASY TO USE! To run the exercises, all you have to do is double click on one of the three index files provided. These serve as tables of contents to the exercises. Your web browser will open and you will be able to play the fill-in game, which in each case will consist of several pages in a row that students cycle through. To have students use the exercises, you might want to load them onto a central location on your school network and provide students the link. That way, you can load the files once and have them available network-wide. Otherwise, you will have to load the files onto the hard drive of each computer that will be using them. U.S. HISTORY GAMES AUTOMATICALLY DIFFERENTIATE LEARNING! Those who can master the material faster will move ahead into new sections while those who need more time and practice can run through the same exercise until they master it. This means that everybody is working at his or her level, rather than waiting for other students to catch up before the class can move on. For your information, here are the topics covered in each of the three activities: Section 1-1: *Converging Cultures * The Earliest Americans * European Explorations * Early French and English Settlement * The Thirteen Colonies * Crisis Over Land * A Diverse Society Section 1-2: Dissent and Independence * Mercantilism and the Glorious Revolution * The Enlightenment and the Great Awakening * Growing Rebelliousness * The Road to War * Fighting for Independence Section 1-3: The Constitution * The Young Nation * A New Constitution * The Fight for Ratification

122 Multiple Choice Questions on American Experience Presents -- The Presidents: LBJ! All in video order, conveniently divided into two separate worksheets, one for each of the two hour-long episodes included in the last half of this video series! About American Experience Presents The Presidents: LBJ American Experience Presents The Presidents: LBJ is a comprehensive biography of the 36th President of the United States. The program originally aired on PBS stations throughout the U.S. Lasting about four hours, the video takes students through Lyndon Johnson’s political career including his time as a Congressman and as the majority leader of the U.S. Senate. The program spends the bulk of the four hours, however, focusing in on LBJ’s time as president, first as an “accidental president” who came to power because of the JFK assassination, and then as a president elected in his own right. This exploration of the LBJ administration means that the video does an excellent job of highlighting major events of the 1960s, including in particular the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. Format of video that goes with these The Presidents LBJ Worksheets The Presidents: LBJ is usually presented in two 2-hour programs, providing a natural break in the historical narrative. Each of the two hour programs is further subdivided into two parts, providing a total of four logical episode divisions. Conveniently for high school teachers, each of these four parts lasts slightly less than an hour, which is about the length of time available in a typical secondary class period. THESE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE LBJ WORKSHEETS COVER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF THE VIDEO SERIES. Teacher Convenience Features Included with these American Experience: The Presidents LBJ Worksheets All worksheets include answer blanks in case teachers want students to write directly on them. Having answers marked on the blanks instead of just having the correct choices circled makes it easier for teachers to review student efforts. Sometimes, consumable worksheets are the best approach for a given class, but in other cases, teachers may want to copy off a file set of worksheets that can be re-used from year to year or class to class. To help make correcting as efficient as possible in that case, I have included special student answer sheets where answers can be recorded. The teacher answer keys exactly match the format/setup of the answer sheets in order to make correcting fast and easy!

Do your students confuse Yalta and Potsdam? Mine used to, so I created a set of teaching slides AND GAMES that help them better grasp four of the most important WWII War Conferences: Casablanca, Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam. About these Allied War Conferences Games for Smart Board The presentation begins with an overview of when and where the four conferences took place, and includes a variety of interactive games to review and help students learn/remember the key points. After that introduction, the presentation treats each conference separately and details both who attended and the important decisions that were reached. Again, interactive games are provided to reinforce understanding and retention of the key points. Students are asked to compare conferences on several slides, once they have been taught about more than one. Primary source photographs are used to illustrate concepts and deepen students' understanding. All conferences are presented in the context of the ongoing war, with reference to events in the war that influenced the decisions made at the conferences. Ways to Use these Allied War Conferences Games in Class This is an interactive presentation. Yes, it teaches the concepts, and does so in a clear, concise way, but it also reviews and assesses students along the way, by means of games and activities that the whole class can enjoy. During your World War II unit, if you have this on the board when students come in each day, it will provide a fun sponge activity as students get settled -- one that helps them revisit the conferences until they know the details of each! The full download has 32 slides chock full of information and games. Smartboard Presentations by Elise Parker *Requires Smart Board Notebook software to run *note: Tehran is also spelled Teheran. I have chosen to use the Tehran spelling throughout my presentation.

The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, is an award-winning six-part documentary series by noted historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Covering from about the year 1500 through to the new millennium, the series addresses in a detailed yet entertaining way the challenges faced by African Americans throughout these centuries as well as their many triumphs. Each episode lasts approximately one hour, making the series a convenient one to work into a typical high-school class period. About this African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross Worksheet This worksheet provides students with 48 fill-in-the-blank problems for them to solve as they watch Episode 5 of The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, which covers the period of 1940 to 1968 in African American history. Summary of Episode 5: Rise! "Rise!" examines the long road to civil rights, when the deep contradictions in American society finally became unsustainable. Beginning in World War II, African Americans who helped fight fascism abroad came home to face the same old racial violence. But this time, mass media — from print to radio and TV — broadcast that injustice to the world, planting seeds of resistance. And the success of black entrepreneurs and entertainers fueled African-American hopes and dreams. In December 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, heralding the dawn of a new movement of quiet resistance, with the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as its public face. Before long, masses of African Americans practiced this nonviolent approach at great personal risk to integrate public schools, lunch counters and more. As the civil rights movement scored one historic victory after another, non-violence was still all too often met with violence — until finally, enough was enough. By 1968, Dr. King, the apostle of non-violence, would be assassinated, unleashing a new call for “Black Power” across the country. Teacher Convenience Features Included in this The African Americans Worksheets Packet: ---Time-stamps option for all problems ---A fast-grade answer key ---A full-context answer key

This 37 page presentation teaches students the basic sequence of events in the Pacific Theatre of World War II.

After those 24 pages, there are 13 pages of review activities asking students to recall key events, leaders, and alliances, as well as to put the Pacific War in order. These are self-checking interactive activities. Ways to Use these WWII in the Pacific Games for Smart Board I use this presentation both to teach and review the Pacific War. It is a great sponge activity -- during our World War Two unit I will have it on the Smart Board at the start of class and students will enthusiastically try the games, day after day. This presentation helps both to teach the students and motivate them to learn! SmartBoard Presentations by Elise Parker

40 Multiple Choice Questions about the systems of government developed by the colonists in America before independence from Britain was ever contemplated. This worksheet is intended for use with Lesson 6 of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, an excellent high-school level textbook published by the Center for Civic Education. There are actually several levels of We the People available. You can tell if this worksheet matches your text by looking at the book cover thumbnail image included near the top of this page. MEETING TEACHERS' NEEDS If you have used this text, you have probably had the same reaction to it as myself -- fantastic content, placing government concepts in their rich historical context where they are best understood.... but where’s the testing program? Indeed, the major drawback I have found to the We the People textbook is a lack of strong ancillaries. That is why I have developed my own. This worksheet has been used by real high-school students and has kept them engaged and on-task while providing me, their teacher, with valuable information about how well each of them is mastering government concepts.

I often use them as tests instead, however, requiring students to answer questions from memory alone. I have found that if students read the text with partners and discuss it along the way, they have excellent recall and can easily achieve scores of 80% and higher even without being able to look in the textbook to check their first impressions. This worksheet is targeted for use with only one lesson from the We the People textbook. Check back frequently for additional worksheets targeting other lessons from the book. I plan to regularly update my store with more We the People support materials, LESSON 6 CONTENT: "The growth of the American colonies raised issues with the parent country, Great Britain, that were difficult to resolve peacefully. This lesson describes the circumstances that produced the Declaration of Independence and the major ideas about government and natural rights included in that document."
