Looking for a teaching resource that zeros in on some of the most critical years in American history? This question set targets the Revolutionary War, zeroing in on the course of the war right up until the pivotal battle of Saratoga, long considered a turning point because the American victory there persuaded the French to formally ally with the United States. That decision would prove to be critical in later years when French aid helped General Washington gain the final surrender. In this question set, students will dive deep into the challenges and struggles that characterized the first half of the Revolutionary War! TOPICS COVERED IN THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS • British battle strategy against New York and Philadelphia • Early French aid even before Saratoga • American battle strategy: crossing the Delaware • Valley Forge • The Battle of Saratoga • Diverse views of the conflict from Native Americans, African Americans, and women • Advantages and disadvantages held by the British and the Patriots • Financing the war TWO AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE This resource includes a multiple choice worksheet and also a free response worksheet, with no overlap of questions between the two. They do both cover the same range of concepts, however, which means that teachers can use one as a pre-test or formative assessment and the other as a final test or summative assessment! Another choice would be to designate the multiple choice worksheet as a "basic" level task and the free response one as more advanced, and use them accordingly -- to differentiate instruction, build in extra-credit opportunities, or in any other way you use leveled materials, such as reserving one for a Revolutionary War practice activity and the other for an American Revolution quiz. WHAT THESE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WORKSHEETS INCLUDE • Multiple Choice Worksheet with 32 Questions • Free Response Worksheet with 32 Questions • Answer Key for each worksheet The multiple choice answer key in this American Revolution resource is full-context so that teachers don't have to look back and forth, question to answer, when reviewing multiple choice questions with the class. Everything needed to go over questions and answers with the class is grouped together for teacher convenience. A "fast correct" answers only key is also provided for the multiple choice worksheet. A free response answer key is also provided.

41 Multiple Choice Questions about the ideas that inspired the Founding Fathers This worksheet is intended for use with Lesson 3 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?

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. A PRACTICAL APPROACH All questions are presented in “lesson order,” so that they can be used as a guided reading activity if desired. 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 3 CONTENT: "This lesson examines several important historical developments that influenced the ideas of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution. When you have finished this lesson, you should be able to explain the differences between classical republican and Judeo-Christian ideas about the importance of the individual.

Classical Greek and Roman writers, natural rights philosophy, the Bible, Protestant theology, ancient and modern European history, and the Enlightenment in Europe and America were among the sources of the ideas that influenced the Founders. The Founders also participated in self-government in the American colonies before 1776 and in state and local governments after independence from Great Britain. The Founders' ideas about society and government and their experiences were diverse. The colonies differed widely. This diversity fostered a rich dialogue about the purpose of government and how it should be organized.

Finally, the Evita Movie Worksheet Set you have been looking for! Designed to be used by students as they watch the film, this Evita movie worksheet will help students pay better attention and zero in on important details, something that they can find challenging without some scaffolding, since most students aren't used to watching movies that are wall to wall singing! The movie Evita is perfect for both Spanish and World History classes and these Evita Movie Worksheets work equally well for both. HOW THIS EVITA MOVIE WORKSHEET SET WILL KEEP STUDENTS ON-TASK AND WATCHING The approach here is cloze or fill-in, which means that students won't get anywhere just guessing. They'll have to pay close attention to the movie in order to be listening for the next fill-in problem. The Evita movie worksheet works like this: key statements from the script are included on a worksheet, with important words or phrases blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes for years and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better. LOTS FOR STUDENTS TO DO The worksheet is several pages long and has 51 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the film. LOOKING FOR A REUSABLE EVITA MOVIE WORKSHEET? LOOK NO FURTHER! Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. With that in mind, I have organized student and teacher materials in several ways so that you have a variety of options. Student Materials: Two worksheet versions are provided for your convenience: 1) Re-usable. Make one class set and use it with multiple groups over multiple years. Save on paper, ink, and the hassle of making printouts. Answer blanks on this set are noted with the characters: -----. This is on purpose so that students do not feel they have a "blank" to write on. ----- is too short to be of much use and the position of the hyphens would block their writing in any case. 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use the set that has answer blanks noted with the characters: ______________________________. Please note that all blanks are the same size (except when shortening a blank will help with formatting the flow of the sentence). This is to avoid giving students unintentional hints or clues about the answers. The answers can be derived only from carefully watching the film.

_______________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: • Awesome... just what I was looking for. • Lots of questions to choose from! • Saved me hours of work! • Thanks it really helped! ______________________________________ ABOUT THE MOVIE "A More Perfect Union" portrays the 1787 Constitutional Convention in detail. If you're like me, you've downloaded the official Teacher's Guide that goes with this movie. It wasn't adequate for my needs. It had only a few questions and (some of them couldn't even be answered from the movie content!) So I created my own assessments for the movie.I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed on the main ideas and important details in the film. ABOUT THESE A MORE PERFECT UNION MOVIE WORKSHEETS All questions in this set are multiple choice and there are 105 questions in all. Because this is a lot to present in one fell swoop, the packet contains three different worksheets: one each for the beginning, middle, and ending phases of the film. For ease of teacher use, beginning and end time-stamps are provided for all worksheets. This way, teachers will know exactly which sections of the film the student pages coordinate with. Full answer keys provided for all worksheets. Student worksheets are formatted in both "write-on" and "reusable" versions so teachers can easily create permanent file copies if they wish.

LESSON 2 CONTENT: "People frequently make judgments about governments or acts of governments, praising them as "good" or criticizing them as "bad." Those judgments may reflect ideas about human nature, the proper function and scope of government, the rights of individuals, and other values. Political philosophers have discussed these matters for thousands of years. This lesson examines concepts such as the common good, civic virtue, the state of nature, natural rights, consent, and the social contract. These concepts are central to discussions about government. When you have finished this lesson, you should be able to describe how and why natural rights philosophy differs from classical republicanism and how both systems of thought influenced the founding generation in America.

160 Questions -- a comprehensive assessment -- of the 3-hour movie Hitler: The Rise of Evil. Students will pay better attention to the movie when they know they will be tested on it after viewing. Alternately, these questions are set up so that you can use them as during-viewing worksheets if you prefer. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. With that in mind, there are detailed annotations on many "false" answers and some "true" answers -- the better to assist you in going over the questions / conducting class discussions.

This will allow you to show the movie over several class periods and assess students as you go along. * 68 Questions (38 True/False and 30 Multiple Choice) cover the first 56 minutes. * 38 Questions (23 True/False and 15 Multiple Choice) cover from 52:00 to 1:47:00 of the film. * 27 Questions (15 True/False and 12 Multiple Choice) cover from 1:47:00 to 2:25:00 * 27 Questions (18 True/False and 9 Multiple Choice) cover from 2:25:00 to the end of the film.

Another convenience feature for you is a variety of different formats: You will receive an Examview testbank .bnk file, an Examview test .tst file, and an .rtf file that you can open in a word processing program.

The .bnk files can be combined together in any combination if you wish to make longer tests, for example, a master test covering the entire movie. However you choose to use the questions, you shouldn't be in the position of having to re-type them! These questions are perfect for assessing how well students paid attention to the movie, and they can also be used as a springboard to preview important points in the movie or to discuss it with the class afterwards. You can have students take notes during the movie and use them with these questions afterwards, or require them to do the questions from memory only.

ABOUT THIS THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE WORKSHEET This worksheet is designed to be used by students as they watch the film, encouraging them to focus in on key details even as they enjoy the action, intrigue, and adventure of 1962's Cuban Missile Crisis. Structure of worksheet: Key statements from the film's script are provided, but important words or phrases are blocked out.

These Hitler: The Rise of Evil worksheets are designed to be used by students as they watch the film. Students will pay better attention to the movie and will focus in on important details as they solve the problems included in the activity. USING THESE HITLER THE RISE OF EVIL MOVIE WORKSHEETS The approach here is cloze, also known as fill-ins: Key statements from the film's script are included on a worksheet, with important words or phrases blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better and feel accountable for the class time spent on the movie. Students stay on task more when they feel accountable. As every teacher knows, some students treat an instructional movie as though it were free time. These worksheets will help discourage that notion. The worksheet is several pages long and has 70 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the 3 hour-long film. The problems to be solved often guide students to historically significant items, helping them to gain a better understanding of the importance and context of terms such as: Communist, Versailles, Fuhrer, Munich, putsch, swastika, Reichstag, chancellor... and many more! Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! Accordingly, I have organized student materials and teacher materials in several ways so that you have a variety of options.

This answer key is probably more convenient if you have students use the re-usable worksheets.

These War Games Worksheets provide teachers with a comprehensive set of questions, all in movie order, covering the 1983 movie War Games starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. WAR GAMES MOVIE WORKSHEETS HELP STUDENTS SEE THE COLD WAR FROM A TEEN PERSPECTIVE! This movie is great for U.S. History classes because it captures the mood of the nation in the early 1980s. Fear of nuclear war was rampant -- so much so that there was a nuclear freeze / unilateral disarmament movement gaining ground. Even though the movie plot is fiction, it is useful because it is a genuine product of the fears in play at that time. It also depicts the beginnings of the computer-based technological culture that we live in today and weaves in 1980s cultural strands about computer hacking and video gaming, both trends which have continued to this day but which began in force in the early 1980s. I usually show this movie to my classes after state testing has been completed and we have time for things that are still historical, but are also very fun. Students love this movie and watch it with rapt attention. With this question set, you can give them something to do during the movie or you can assess them afterwards as a closing assessment. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! To give teacher maximum options, the question sets are provided both in movie order and in scrambled order. Teachers that like to have their students use worksheets during a movie to follow along will probably like the former. The latter might be best for teachers that want to have students review concepts after the movie -- or a specific section of it -- has been viewed in its entirety. A Lesson Plan That Can Last At Least Three Days The question set is split into three sections which more-or-less coordinate with showing the movie over three class periods. This lets teachers stop and "debrief" movie/history elements with their classes before moving on. How These War Games Worksheets Offer Maximum Flexibility Because teachers have different needs when it comes to materials, several different formats are provided: ---Examview .tst so you can print tests out or use them with CPS/Examview electronic testing systems ---Examview .bnk so you can combine the various question banks in any way you please to make your own tests (For example, combine all files to make a master test for the whole movie). ---rtf Microsoft Word and other word processors can open these files. The rtf files are perfect for making worksheets or adding other enhancements to the files. There are 78 Questions in all -- 39 True/False Questions and 39 Multiple Choice Questions!

________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Really helpful! ________________________ The movie "1776" is great for teaching about the American Revolution and specifically the Declaration of Independence. These questions are designed to be used batch by batch as students finish watching portions of the movie -- or they can be used after the whole movie has been watched, as a final assessment. I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed afterwards on the main ideas and important details in the film. ABOUT THESE 1776 MOVIE QUESTIONS These questions are in Examview format. If you need printable worksheets, skip to the bottom of the listing for a link to them. Examview TestBanks are compatible with Examview software and many online learning management systems such as Edmodo and Schoology.

In all, you will have more than 50 questions -- a mix of True/False and Multiple Choice.

____________________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---I actually used this for a younger grade than was listed (7th/8th grade class) and it was easy to go through the information and worked perfect for us. Thanks! ____________________________________________________________ Do you teach the U.S. Constitution to your government or history students? I go through it every year and constantly work on ways to make it highly interesting and relevant to students -- not to mention, more understandable! Liven up your own teaching with this guided Constitution worksheet that takes students through the details of Article IV, which covers the responsibilities of the states. I BELIEVE IN CRITICAL THINKING The worksheet is more than a reading comprehension activity. At key points, it asks students the application questions that are so essential to true understanding. To complete the worksheet, students will have to do a close reading of Article IV to discover key details, but then they will have to apply critical thinking skills to figure out, for example, what the Framers meant by "republican" government. The Constitution uses the term without explanation; with this worksheet, students are asked to go beyond the surface of the text to reach a level of true understanding. TEACHER CONVENIENCE IS NUMBER ONE WITH ME! As a teacher myself, I know that you have plenty to do. You need support materials that make your life easier, not harder. When it comes to this Article IV Constitution Worksheet, that means: ---The whole worksheet fits on one sheet of paper, front and back. This means that it is quick to copy off a class set, and you won't have to worry about stapling pages by hand if the office copy machine is out of staples. It also means that a set of the worksheets, used year after year if students are directed not to write on them, will take up very little space in your file cabinet. ---A full answer key is provided. It includes not just the bare answer, but also helpful ancillary information to help guide class review and discussion and keep the Constitution interesting. keywords: Constitution, Article IV, federalism, full faith and credit, admitting new states, state responsibilities

A Comprehensive Set of Cloze Worksheets to accompany the PBS documentary "American Experience: George Wallace -- Settin' the Woods on Fire" This 3-hour episode of American Experience explores the life and controversial legacy of Alabama governor and presidential candidate George Wallace, delving deep into the Civil Rights Movement that characterized both his rise and fall. The tag line for the film says it all: "He preached 'Segregation now, segregation forever -- then asked to be forgiven." FEATURES OF THESE GEORGE WALLACE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE WORKSHEETS --More than 100 cloze / fill-in problems for students to complete as they watch the film --Divided into two separate worksheets, one for each part of the video series --All problems in video order --NO PREP -- just print and go! --Both full context and full transcript answer keys included. WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO American Experience: George Wallace plays from time to time on local PBS stations 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. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES 1) All worksheets are designed to be re-usable so that teachers can make file copies and use them over and over. To this end, answer "blanks" in the cloze problems actually consists of five dashes in a row, like this: -----. This makes the blank too short to write on; the position in the vertical midpoint of the line will also discourage students from writing on their George Wallace worksheets. Students are therefore likely to record answers on their own paper! 2) Two answer keys are provided: a full-context one which replicates the student worksheet problems so that teachers can see what students were looking at. This helps with reviewing answers with the class. Also included is a full transcript answer key which will let teachers dive deeper into the context of surrounding passages, should they desire.

_______________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Lots of questions to choose from! ---Saved me hours of work! ---Thanks it really helped! ______________________________________ A GREAT MOVIE FOR U.S. HISTORY! "A More Perfect Union" portrays the 1787 Constitutional Convention in detail. These More Perfect Union Quiz Questions, split into three separate files for ease of use, will allow you to assess students' attention and understanding of major concepts presented in the film. If you're like me, you've downloaded the official Teacher's Guide that goes with this movie. It wasn't adequate for my needs. It had only a few questions and some of them couldn't be answered from the movie content. So I created my own assessments for the movie! My questions are designed to be used batch by batch as students finish watching portions of the movie -- or they can be used after the whole movie has been watched, as a final assessment. I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed afterward on the main ideas and important details in the film. ABOUT THIS A MORE PERFECT UNION RESOURCE Since teacher convenience is very important to me, and I assume to you, I've provided all the questions in three different formats to match various teaching styles and types of technology. You'll get .rtf word processing files of all questions, as well as .tst and .bnk files for use with Examview or CPS software. The total download contains 105 questions, split up into files that match the beginning, middle, and ending phases of the movie. Full answer keys are, of course, provided. A PDF easy-print version of this resource is also available here on TES.

Quick and Easy Simulation to Provide Your Students with a Clear Understanding of Both Procedural Due Process and Substantive Due Process of Law! No materials needed! This Due Process of Law Activity includes: • Introductory explanations to assist teacher • Detailed step-by-step procedure to do the simulation in class • Alternatives for use with students who might find elements of the simulation disturbing • Fundamental Rights worksheet • Fundamental Rights worksheet answer key MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DUE PROCESS OF LAW TEACHING RESOURCE: Each year as my classes read through the U.S. Constitution, we encounter the phrase “due process of law” in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Defining due process is pretty simple: the government has to follow its own rules when depriving someone of their life, liberty, or property -- the justice system is not allowed to "make up" new rules that apply just to a particular individual. Due Process: A Better Definition But that definition, of course, only provides a surface understanding of due process. In fact, it leaves out half the story since it only deals with what legal experts call "procedural" due process. That's the easy to understand kind of due process, but it's not the only kind. There's also "substantive" due process, which in my experience has been a lot harder for students to grasp, since it builds on an understanding of fundamental civil rights. Don't Put the Cart Before the Horse! Really, though, you can communicate the concept of what substantive due process is without getting into the minutiae of fundamental rights -- and that's how I like to start. It's really easy, too, building on students' own experiences! Even better, this quick and easy due process simulation actually gets students to comprehend the basic nature of both procedural and substantive due process! If you teach government, civics, law, or related subjects, then this due process of law worksheet and simulation resource will help your students master procedural vs. substantive due process like never before!
