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!

20 questions on the Magna Carta. These are basic questions focusing on the main idea of the document -- written limitations on government power. There are 20 questions. 11 are T/F, 7 are Multiple Choice, 1 is numeric and 1 is fill-in-the-blank. The questions all cover basics that any student should know about the Magna Carta after a brief lecture or after reading any standard textbook presentation of the topic.

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. EASY DIFFERENTIATION WITH BOTH GUIDED AND STANDARD FORMATS! NO PREP -- INCLUDES BOTH REUSABLE AND CONSUMABLE VERSIONS!

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 drive toward acquisition of new lands in the late 1800s. This set of worksheets is perfect to help students master this phase of U.S. history -- it covers what I call "The Basics" of American Imperialism. Through a series of multiple-choice questions, students will address issues such as: --The historical context in which American imperialism began --The motives and driving forces fueling American expansionism --The acquisition of Alaska --The overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and acquisition of Alaska --The role of Alfred T. Mahan in promoting the need for a strong, modern navy I BELIEVE IN TEACHER EMPOWERMENT. That's why you will receive not one but two student worksheets in this no-prep easy-print packet. You will receive: --A detailed question set consisting of 42 problems dealing at a deep level with all the issues listed above. This set is great to use as an advanced level, a webquest, or a practice activity to be completed with the use of any U.S. history textbook. --A summation question set consisting of 14 problems dealing at a basic level with the "big ideas" that all students should definitely master. This "summary questions only" set works extremely well as test or quiz to be completed as a final assessment after students have worked their way through the longer question set. It can also function as an aid with differentiated instruction -- students who would benefit from a more streamlined worksheet or assessment can use this set to zero in on the key points they should be learning about American imperialism and the major historical figures involved. I BELIEVE IN TEACHER CONVENIENCE. I call the student pages "worksheets," but they can also be used as quizzes, tests, or even as discussion guides. This last use is possible because I have grouped the questions in logical ways. All the questions on the detailed question set are grouped by topic -- all the problems relating to Alaska appear together, for example. Because the shorter question set might be used as an American imperialism test or quiz, however, the questions on this set are not presented in strict logical groupings. These imperialism question sets can meet the needs of both your advanced and your struggling learners!

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.

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. Use these files to make printouts or to edit the questions to customize them for your curriculum. ----- Examview Test file (.tst). Use these files to print tests or conduct electronic testing using computers with Examview or clickers with CPS. ----- Examview Test bank (.bnk). These files can be combined with each other or with other .bnk files to build larger tests. No matter what format works best for you, the hard work has already been done -- the questions are already typed in! A full answer key is provided for each of the question sets. There are 46 questions in all -- enough to keep students thinking and discussing for an entire class period!

This resource consists of a large question set --more than 100 questions!-- that will engage student interest about the U.S. Constitution. How? Through scenarios when possible! In this way, students are asked to *apply* government knowledge, not just recite it. For example, instead of rattling off the list of requirements to be eligible for President, students are presented with brief life histories and asked which of the people described are actually eligible. I BELIEVE IN MAKING THINGS AS CONVENIENT AS POSSIBLE FOR HARD-WORKING TEACHERS! Articles I, II, and III are all treated separately so that you can discuss a portion of the Constitution and then have a quiz or review session, knowing that the questions at your fingertips are specific to JUST the article under study. When you have finished reading/discussing the Constitution with your class, you can combine all the Examview banks into one test for a final assessment! A VARIED APPROACH TO QUESTIONING STUDENTS All questions are True/False/Yes/No or Multiple Choice, and many of them are "scenario" questions that students find intriguing... for example: "You are a Senator. During your term of office, Congress creates a new job: deputy undersecretary for labor relations with Indonesia. Once you leave the Senate, can you take this job?" The information in the Constitution is thus personalized -- scenario questions strive to demonstrate applications of the rules the government must follow. FOCUS ON THE FRAMERS This question set covers the original Constitution only, meaning Articles I-VII. It does not cover any of the amendments. I treat those separately because in my class, we take a close look first at the Constitution as originally conceived, and when we thoroughly understand THAT, then we look at how time and circumstances have contributed to the amendment process. Articles IV-VII are treated together since each one is relatively short compared to the first three articles. LOOK AT ALL THE CONTENT INCLUDED! In this download, you will get: -- 40 questions on Article I and the Preamble -- 27 questions on Article II -- 15 questions on Article III -- 46 questions on Articles IV-VII. GREAT FOR TRADITIONAL PRINTOUTS --OR-- FOR ELECTRONIC EDUCATION You will receive all the questions in several formats, the better to match your teaching style, available technology, and your instructional needs: ----- Word processing (.rtf) file that Microsoft Word can open. ----- Examview Test file (.tst). ----- Examview Test bank (.bnk)

History and government never had it so good! These posters, each featuring a fascinating quotation from Alexis de Tocqueville, will help your students see fascinating aspects of the American character when it comes to issues of liberty and democracy. Instead of looking out into a sea of glazed faces, as is all too common in high school history and civics classes, get your students engaged and debating, using as a starting-off point one of the greatest students of American politics of all time -- even though he was a rank amateur! ABOUT ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE Alexis de Tocqueville was a Frenchman who traveled the United States during the early 1800s, writing down his observations about the American character -- particularly as it applied to freedom, politics, and government. His insights into the American mind were so profound that his great work, Democracy in America, is still studied today in both high school and college classrooms. De Tocqueville can be tough reading, however. With this set of classroom display posters and discussion starters, you can start having some great conversations with the whole class or small groups, but without wading through a lot of written material. Alternatively, these quotations can serve to reinforce and encapsulate the de Tocqueville selections your students may be reading! ENGAGE STUDENTS IN DISCUSSION These classroom display posters make for outstanding discussion starters about the nature of politics and democracy in the United States. All of the quotes are from Democracy in America, a ground-breaking work about the U.S. political landscape in the early 1800s. As you can see, de Tocqueville’s observations are still highly accurate and relevant today! ABOUT THESE DE TOCQUEVILLE POSTERS ----> Each poster is sized to fit onto an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper so that teachers can use their usual classroom or personal printers to print them out ----> The thumbnails show four different border and font styles because you will get all of the posters in all four styles! ---->The download includes PDF files of all posters so that printing will be a snap. ----> The download also includes editable files (Microsoft Word .docx format) of all posters so that the entire Tocqueville classroom display set is completely customizable. Should you wish to change it to use your own fonts, colors, and borders, you'll have an easy way to do it. You can even add in additional great quotations if you like. ----> All posters are designed by default to use black lettering on a white background. This is so that teachers without color printers can produce crisp, clean posters. If you *do* have a color printer, however, it will be a simple matter to use a color font to jazz things up.

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.

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. The judicial opinion in the landmark Supreme Court Case Marbury v. Madison is an example of such a text, and now with this teaching packet, teachers can easily implement a close reading of it in English or history classes. This packet includes: --Detailed background information, including fun facts, to help teachers gain a thorough understanding of the court case Marbury v. Madison --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... --One-page excerpt of the Marbury v. Madison court decision -- just enough extracted that students can complete the close reading in a reasonable time! --Two-page sheet of complex, thought-provoking text-dependent questions that students complete during their "third read" through the text --Detailed answer key --Full opinion of the court included for context and/or teacher reference 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!

FDR's Four Freedoms Speech is an example of such a text, and now with this teaching packet, teachers can easily implement a close reading of it in English or history classes. 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!
