18 True/False problems that serve as a complete review of the basics about Karl Marx and his theory of radical socialism. Plus, a coordinating "fix-it" worksheet that takes students back through those same basics a second time!

How to Use These Karl Marx Review Worksheets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This teaching packet is best used after students have some basic acquaintance with Karl Marx and his theory of radical socialism. Therefore ---

1) First, use your world history textbook or a video about Karl Marx to introduce students to the topic. In my teaching sequence, I usually start in on this right after we’ve covered the First Industrial Revolution and its impact on the people of Europe and especially England. This allows me to place Karl Marx’s ideas into a logical context – as a reaction to the dark side of industrialization.

2) The next time you see your students, tell them that they are going to do some review problems on Karl Marx. Proceed through the True/False worksheet, either passing it out for students to write on, or reading problems out loud while they record answers on their own paper.

3) Make reviewing the answers a learning activity by going through them as a class. See how long it takes students to realize that all 18 statements on the worksheet are true! Discuss each item with the class to help them remember better. Alternately, follow the “reward game” procedure detailed on the True/False Answer Key Page.

4) Use the rest of the class period to do follow-up Karl Marx activities. Perhaps a primary source reading, another kind of supplemental reading, or a short video about Karl Marx. One of my favorites is “Manifestoon,” available for free on YouTube. This 12-minute video consists of a voice reading the verbatim text of the Communist Manifesto while vintage cartoons illustrating the concepts play. You can find “Manifestoon” at the following web address:

5) On the next school day, announce that today there is going to be a quiz to see how much they learned from the True/False review. Or describe it as a quiz to see who was paying attention during the review!

6) Pass out the Fix-it Worksheet and provide students with time to work.

7) Either collect papers and correct them using the provided key, or go through the answers out loud with the class while students correct their own or a classmate’s paper. In some cases, students may come up with valid solutions that differ from the answer key, since there is more than one way to transform some of the error-laden problems into true statements.


Happy teaching,
