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!

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.

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 led 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! TEACHERS NEED CHOICES! Some teachers like to have their students write on worksheets and use them up, while others prefer to make file copies they can reuse time and again. This set of Great Depression worksheets includes both consumable and reusable versions already set up for use. No matter what format works best for you, the hard work has already been done! A full answer key is provided for each of the question sets, with detailed annotations included for many of the questions. DO YOU NEED MORE GREAT DEPRESSION WORKSHEETS? If so, have a look at Great Depression Worksheets: How People Lived -- PDF Version which is a Great Depression question set focusing on the ways in which ordinary people coped with more than a decade of economic meltdown.

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. WHAT THE ZIP DOWNLOAD FILE CONTAINS ---An editable file in Microsoft Word docx format containing worksheets that present students with: ---48 multiple choice questions ---Free response variants of all 48 multiple choice questions ---Political cartoon primary source study worksheet With the above editable file, teachers can customize the worksheets to their heart's content! ---Examview files of all program materials.

Conspiracy Movie Questions are designed to help students pay better attention and learn more as they watch this highly accurate real-time re-enactment of the 1942 Wannsee Conference. The movie stars Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci as Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann, the two chief architects of Nazi Germany's "Final Solution to the Jewish Question." WHAT THESE CONSPIRACY MOVIE WORKSHEETS INCLUDE Editable Word Processing File with: --Detailed teaching notes including information on how to prep students to watch the movie and what vocabulary to introduce in advance --Detailed rating and content information [The movie is rated R for language and verbal content only; there is absolutely no onscreen violence or nudity.] --128 multiple choice questions in movie order --128 parallel free-response questions in movie order: The free response question prompts are the same ones as used in the multiple choice questions, allowing teachers an easy way to differentiate instruction. --Fast correct student answer sheet with identically formatted answer key for the multiple choice set.

With this option, teachers can use the questions with software programs like Insight 360 and CPS in addition to Examview computer testing software. They can also easily load these questions onto an online learning management system such as Haiku, Schoology, Edmodo, and the like! CONVENIENCE FEATURES All student prompts are in exact movie order so that the worksheets can be used while the movie plays if desired. Alternately, teachers can save the worksheets for afterwards, using them as a test or quiz. 128 questions of each type give teachers lots and lots of options. Differentiate by assigning student groups to do just the odds or just the evens of multiple choice to space the questions out more. This will give you TWO basic level worksheets instead of one. Or do the same with the free-response questions to instantly create TWO advanced-level worksheets. Stop and start the movie whenever you please! The questions are numbered sequentially instead of being divided up into predesignated parts in advance, which makes it easy for you to stop the movie at any time and resume it later. Just for reference, I usually show Conspiracy over the course of three days to allow plenty of time to discuss and debrief, but if you want to stretch that out to four days or compress it to just two [the movie is 96 minutes long], this question set gives you all the flexibility you need!

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.
