Versatile resource designed for elementary, middle, and high-school students! Having your students watch presidential debates is a hugely worthwhile endeavor whether it's election season or not. Obviously when election day is approaching, it's good to let students see what both major candidates have to say about the issues and the country. Videos of past debates, though, can also be really useful when studying history. Imagine teaching the Cold War era and showing students segments from the iconic Kennedy/Nixon debates, for example. Engagement is Key The challenge of using presidential debates to help you teach current events or historical periods, however, is keeping students highly engaged while they watch. Most students, even in the earlier grades, can watch 5 minutes without their eyes glazing over, but much more than that and you might start losing the attention and interest of many of your students. This is particularly true for younger students, but it can also be a challenge even with high school seniors, since some of them are a *lot* more immature than others. So How Does Presidential Debate Bingo Work? Once you've printed off from some Presidential Debate Bingo sheets, have students predict what key words or phrases they expect to hear during the debate. Have them fill in one word or phrase per square on their grid. This usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes, depending on the size of the grid in use and the background knowledge level of the students. When grids are ready, play the debate or the debate segment you want the class to watch. Tell students to listen carefully so that they can mark off their words/phrases as they occur. If you have stickers handy, students --even high school seniors!-- love using them to mark off their squares. Otherwise, you can have students cross through their entries as they watch. Students love this and it really livens up watching debates!

Help your students understand the structure and vagaries of the Electoral College like never before as they study the map that represents Lyndon Johnson's landslide victory in 1964. This is a Critical Thinking Worksheet that requires students to do a lot more than just read the included map. You won't find "giveaway" questions here -- no asking students who won Tennessee or how many electoral votes Nevada had that year. Instead, students are challenged to use the information on the map to reach conclusions about a number of issues, including: --From the map data, which states appear to have approximately equal populations? --From the map data, how many members in the House of Representatives must a specified state have? --Why did Goldwater win Arizona even though the rest of that region of the nation chose Johnson? --What did the popular vote probably look like, considering how the electoral vote went? When finished, students should have a thorough understanding of the structure of the Electoral College, with states receiving vote allotments based largely, but not exclusively, on their populations. They should also understand how the "winner take all" system in use by most states tends to skew the map toward one that makes even a landslide election look a lot more one-sided than it really was! A Good Review of American Geography! The map included on the worksheets has electoral vote allotments marked, but state names are not indicated except for a few small states along the eastern seaboard. To answer questions, however, students will need to be able to identify several unmarked states. Students who do not know one state from another will benefit from using a standard map from their textbook or from an online source. Having to compare one map to another is a positive benefit -- it can help students learn a few more states! At the very least, it will point out to students that they don't yet know the U.S. map well, which means they need more practice and study with it. What This 1964 Electoral College Worksheet Includes ---Student worksheet with map and 12 critical thinking questions ---Student extended-thinking worksheet with map and 3 challenge prompts ---Detailed annotated answer key for the critical thinking worksheet ---Additional answer key for the challenge prompt worksheet

196 Multiple Choice Questions on American Experience Presents -- The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson! All in video order, conveniently divided into two separate worksheets, one for each of the two episodes included in this video series! About American Experience Presents The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson American Experience Presents The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson is a comprehensive biography of the 28th President of the United States. The program originally aired on PBS stations throughout the U.S. Lasting almost three hours, the video takes students through Wilson’s life, emphasizing his role as a reformer, his rise to importance in the Progressive Movement and his two terms as president. This exploration of the Wilson administration means that the video does an excellent job of highlighting major events of the early 1900s, including social reform gains, the increasing regulation of industry, and the entirety of World War I. Where to find the video that goes with these American Experience Wilson Worksheets American Experience: Woodrow Wilson plays from time to time on public television stations across the country and is also sometimes available on streaming services. The best way to find out where it might currently be available is to run a simple Google search. For teachers who prefer to purchase hard media, American Experience Presents The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson is available as part of The President’s Collection, which provides American Experience biographies of more than ten 20th-century presidents, all bundled together in a very affordable set. The episode focusing in on Wilson can also be purchased separately at a very reasonable price from a variety of online outlets such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon. About American Experience: The Presidents -- Woodrow Wilson The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson is usually presented in two parts, each of which lasts about one hour and twenty minutes. This division provides a natural break in the historical narrative since Part One ends just as World War I begins: Part One, “A Passionate Man,” chronicles Wilson’s rise from a Civil War boyhood in Georgia to become president of Princeton University and an outspoken champion of progressive reform. He is elected governor of New Jersey, then narrowly wins the presidency, accomplishing a remarkable agenda of reform in his first two years. Part Two, “The Redemption of the World,” portrays President Wilson as he leads America through WWI, then brokers the Treaty of Versailles in an effort to fulfil his dream of making the world “safe for democracy” and to prevent another world war. His vision of world peace through the League of Nations, however, is struck down at home, and his health suffers so seriously that his wife becomes de facto chief executive.

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 45 fill-in-the-blank problems for them to solve as they watch Episode 6 of The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, which covers the period of 1968 to 2013 in African American history. Summary of Episode 6: A More Perfect Union After 1968, African Americans set out to build a bright new future on the foundation of the civil rights movement’s victories, but a growing class disparity threatened to split the black community in two. As hundreds of African Americans won political office across the country and the black middle class made unprecedented progress, larger economic and political forces isolated the black urban poor in the inner cities, vulnerable to new social ills and an epidemic of incarceration. Yet African Americans of all backgrounds came together to support Illinois’ Senator Barack Obama in his historic campaign for the presidency of the United States. When he won in 2008, many hoped that America had finally transcended race and racism. By the time of his second victory, it was clear that many issues, including true racial equality, remain to be resolved. Now we ask: How will African Americans help redefine the United States in the years to come? How These African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross Worksheets are Structured These The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross worksheets present students with fill-in problems to encourage them to pay close attention to the video as it plays. Cloze problems largely eliminate the problem of students guessing, and when they are well-constructed, they have the added benefit of helping students to zero in on main ideas and key details – exactly the content they should be mastering from the video. Each hour-long episode comes with between 40 and 70 fill-in problems, appropriately spaced out so that students can keep up. Some students, however, may feel that the pace is too brisk. In that case, teachers can simply assign some students to do the odd problems and others the evens, a strategy that can also help to discourage students from copying from classmates instead of paying attention as they should.

Designed for differentiated learning, each topic includes two puzzles versions so that two difficulty levels can be provided. First you will see a standard presentation with just the crossword grid and the lists of clues. On the very next page, however, you will see a “basic” version of the same puzzle.

This page will let you review terms and names with your students without having to hunt for the answers on a puzzle grid.   Ways to Use these New Imperialism Puzzle Worksheets The information included on these puzzles matches what is typically presented in a high school history textbook, but of course if students have internet-capable devices – even their own smart phones, if that works per your school’s policies – they can always augment the textbook with a spot of online research. These New Imperialism Worksheet puzzles work great for: • Reviewing key concepts after the text has been read and discussed • Homework assignments • Sub plans – even months after imperialism has been taught, you can use these for emergency substitute lesson plans! • Open-book New Imperialism tests • New Imperialism fun quizzes • Group / Cooperative Learning Activities • History contest activities These New Imperialism Crossword Puzzles Also Available: • The Scramble for Africa • Methods of Imperialism (includes resistance efforts) • European Imperialism in the Muslim World • The British in India • British Empire Dominions: Canada • British Empire Dominions: Australia and New Zealand • British Empire Dominions: Ireland • United States Imperialism • The Spanish-American War • Imperialism in Southeast Asia and the Pacific

60 Multiple Choice Questions to accompany Episode10 of Mankind: The Story of All of Us Mankind: The Story of All of Us is a History Channel series that uses engaging imagery, powerful special effects, and a lively script to convey the story of the humanity in 12 concise yet comprehensive episodes. This teaching packet covers Episode 10: “Revolutions," which develops several major themes: • Democracy and the American Revolution • The Industrial Revolution • British Imperialism in China • The Opium Wars • The U.S. Civil War • Disease as a historical force • Industrialized warfare 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 time span of world history. Students who have paid attention to the video should definitely have mastered these basic, fundamental issues from the targeted time period. All test questions are also multiple choice. • A fast-grade answer key is provided for both the worksheet and the quiz. 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.

Help your students master key information about ancient Greece's two most famous city-states: Athens and Sparta! Most world history textbooks give an overview of the two city-states, but few take the next step of helping students compare and contrast them in detail. The more we can get students to think critically, the more they will learn and remember, and these worksheets are designed with that principle in mind. To that end, this packet includes several resources: • A compare/contrast chart with dozens of descriptors about ancient Greece. For each, students identify if the description matches Athens, Sparta, or both. • A set of 26 follow-up questions about Athens, with many of them designed to reinforce key content vocabulary such as democracy, tyrant, and oligarchy. Others take basic information about Athens and work in additional supporting details to give students a clearer picture of ancient Greece. • A set of 26 follow-up questions about Sparta, with many of them designed to reinforce key vocabulary also. Emphasis is given to the military aspect of life in Sparta, but other topics, including their unusual system of government, are covered as well. • Full answer keys to all activities. All follow-up questions are multiple-choice. Whether you are studying the ancient world in detail or quickly reviewing it as part of a "evolution of modern government" emphasis, these Athens and Sparta activity worksheets will help your students gain more insight into the Golden Age of Greece.

A large set of reading comprehension quizzes covering assorted stories commonly used in World Literature courses. Many of the matching stories are public domain / available online! You might want to assign these stories as core readings, or use them as extra credit or as the backbone of a summer school curriculum. Either way, the assessment piece is taken care of for you. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. Therefore, each quiz is included as a Microsoft Word file that you can edit if you wish, or print out as is to distribute. This would be the primary format educators find useful. However, for those of you who are accustomed to electronic testing, I also provide Examview .tst and .eot files, along with helpful notes included with the download for more information. Most of the quizzes have 10 questions and begin with a question or two about the author's life and/or writing style. A couple of quizzes are based on very short works of literature and so have only 5 questions. All questions are multiple choice. Quizzes included in this download cover the following stories: "A Country Doctor" by Franz Kafka "A Drink in the Passage" by Alan Paton "A Sunrise on the Veld" by Doris Lessing "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel García Márquez "An Outpost of Progress" by Joseph Conrad "Araby" by James Joyce "Downtown" by Fumiko Hayashi "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti "Good Climate, Friendly Inhabibitants" by Nadine Gordimer "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy "In a Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías" by Federico García Lorca "Marriage is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achere "Mista Courifer" by Adelaide Casely-Hayford "One Soldier" by Katai Tayama "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe "The Damask Drum" by Motokiyo Zeami "The Doctor's Divorce" by S.Y.

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)

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!

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!

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. TEACHER CONVENIENCE IS A HALLMARK OF MY PRODUCTS. Therefore, you will receive the questions in two formats: 1)Word Processor File (.rft) -- this can be printed off to make worksheets or tests and can easily be edited to customize the questions or add specific content to match your program or teaching emphasis. 2) Examview .tst file.
