Close Reading: Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court Decision

(0)
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!

Age of Revolutions Review Worksheets - Glorious, French, American Revolutions

Age of Revolutions Review Worksheets - Glorious, French, American Revolutions

(0)
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!

American Imperialism Worksheets -- Set 1: Motives, Alaska, Hawaii, Mahan

American Imperialism Worksheets -- Set 1: Motives, Alaska, Hawaii, Mahan

(0)
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!

Math Across the Curriculum: The Russian Revolution

Teachers are always on the lookout for materials that will provide some variety, and history teachers are no exception. One great way to add interest to a history class is to work in a little math. These worksheets are user-friendly and include not just answers but also solutions explained in detail. This makes them perfect for teachers that love history, but who aren't specialists in math. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. I believe in providing teachers with a variety of materials based around the same problem set. This way, teachers have lots of choices at their fingertips and can more easily adapt materials to their own needs. With this in mind, with this download you will get: • a PDF file of all problems/worksheets for easy printing • a word processing file so that you can just as easily edit the worksheets • a PowerPoint presentation so that you can display the problems and their solutions on a screen and go through them one by one if desired. The PowerPoint presentation is fully illustrated with period photographs. The worksheets, on the other hand, have been streamlined to make xeroxing as fast and simple as possible. More Information: Why include math in a history class? Occasionally including math-based problems in the history curriculum has a number of outstanding benefits: • Help students to keep math skills fresh and sharp. • Provide the class with something quite different from the other lessons for the week. • Demonstrate how math skills are useful in other contexts. • Encourage cooperative learning and peer-tutoring. • Differentiate instruction. About the materials provided These math problems are designed to provide teachers with a self-contained lesson that combines basic math skills with interesting historical information about the Russian Revolution. All facts and figures needed to solve the math problems are included in the problems themselves. This is not just about math, however; even as students are crunching numbers, they will be acquiring some key, basic information about the events under study. This "learning through the back door" approach will help to reinforce facts already learned; by working with data instead of just being asked to "learn" it, historical information can be more thoroughly acquired. The materials include two worksheets, each containing 10 problems. One is structured as a multiple-choice problem set while the other one is designed to allow for free response. Teachers can differentiate instruction by providing students with one version or another based on degree of math mastery or other factors. Both worksheets are designed to fit on a single double-sided sheet of paper so that copying and storage needs can be minimized.

Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial Video Worksheets and Primary Source Study -- Examview & Editable Version

(0)
BRING THE AFTERMATH OF WWII TO LIFE USING THESE NUREMBERG WORKSHEETS AND THE COORDINATING HISTORY CHANNEL VIDEO: NUREMBERG, TYRANNY ON TRIAL. This is an editable and Examview version of my Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial worksheets and primary source study activities pack. The Nuremberg Trials were a key moment in world history, demonstrating for the first time that crimes against humanity could and would be prosecuted. Today's World Court is a direct descendant of the Nuremberg Tribunals. With Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial from the History Channel and these no-prep worksheets, you can help your students master the aftermath of WWII like never before! INFORMATION FOR THE TEACHER Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial is a short documentary produced by the History Channel. Because it lasts only 46 minutes, it fits perfectly into a typical class period in a middle school or high school. Teachers who have class periods that last about an hour should have time to both show the video and review answers, all during the same class session. Those who can afford to devote two periods to a more in-depth study of the Nuremberg Trials can show the video one day and discuss the answers in more detail the next day. WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial is available online at a variety of streaming sites.

BRING THE AFTERMATH OF WWII TO LIFE USING THESE NUREMBERG WORKSHEETS AND THE COORDINATING HISTORY CHANNEL VIDEO: NUREMBERG, TYRANNY ON TRIAL The Nuremberg Trials were a key moment in world history, demonstrating for the first time that crimes against humanity could and would be prosecuted. Today's World Court is a direct descendant of the Nuremberg Tribunals. With Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial from the History Channel and these no-prep worksheets, you can help your students master the aftermath of WWII like never before! INFORMATION FOR THE TEACHER Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial is a short documentary produced by the History Channel. Because it lasts only 46 minutes, it fits perfectly into a typical class period in a middle school or high school. Teachers who have class periods that last about an hour should have time to both show the video and review answers, all during the same class session. Those who can afford to devote two periods to a more in-depth study of the Nuremberg Trials can show the video one day and discuss the answers in more detail the next day. WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO Nuremberg: Tyranny on Trial is available online at a variety of streaming sites. The best way to find where it may currently be available is to do a simple Google search for the title. It also airs on the History Channel on an infrequent basis and is available for sale on DVD. Teachers who prefer hard media may find the best prices at sites like Amazon and eBay, where used DVDs for educational programs are often put up for sale. ABOUT THESE WORKSHEETS There are 48 multiple choice questions included in this set. These are continuously numbered and are presented in video order so that students can answer questions as they follow along watching the program. However, the questions are split up into 3 separate worksheets, each focusing on a particular phase of the Nuremberg Trials: background information; the Major War Criminals Trial itself; and Verdict, Sentence, and Legacy. This matches the structure of the video, which moves through those three main topics in order. To provide teachers with an easy differentiation option, all 48 questions are also provided in a free-response format, which is considerably more challenging than the multiple choice version. A primary source political cartoon worksheet is provided as a follow up to viewing, encouraging students to think critically about the details included by the cartoonist and the messages those details are sending.

ABOUT 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 second of these double episodes, "Bloody Battles," which means a heavy focus on Carnegie and the growing importance of steel in the industrial economy. The episode closes with a dramatization and discussion of a seminal moment in labor history -- the Homestead Steel strike at Carnegie's flagship plant.

Rockefeller --Steel as an improvement over iron --Bessemer process enabling mass production of steel --Steel as the new building materials of choice: bridges, railroads, skyscrapers --Cutthroat competition --Plight of the industrial worker --Fledgling union movement --Homestead Steel Strike 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!
