For Your Convenience
In this packet, I have provided both the time-stamped and regular versions of the worksheet in two formats: condensed to fit on a single page and in a two-page (or longer) version that will provide students with a larger font as well as more space in which to write down their answers. This way, you can balance the needs of your students against your use of paper, ink, and time at the printer/copier, as needed!
Why Students Love Crash Course
Few classroom strategies are as successful as this simple approach: make learning fun! That, or course, is easier said than done, but when it comes to teaching social studies content, the YouTube series Crash Course Black American History is a great place to start.
The script of each episode is packed with critical observations about life and culture -- ones that help to make strong points about the history being communicated. Just as importantly, the host, Clint Smith, has what it takes to keep students' interest: enthusiasm about the topics combined with an unfailing sense of compassion for lived experiences under discussion and the painful legacy they have forced. To further increase learning and engagement, each episode incorporates an informative cartoon segment that likewise treats the historical content with empathy and respect. Students like watching the series, which means they pay attention to it and learn!
Each episode of Crash Course typically contains about 10 minutes of content plus a brief time for the credits. Episodes are available for free on YouTube at the following playlist:
