Teach Engaging Lessons using Crash Course European History Worksheets

Fans of Crash Course World History appreciate its humorous approach to telling in chronological order the story of human history. That tradition continues in Crash Course European History, which dives deeper into AP Euro topics, again with fun host John Green!

This Crash Course Euro History Worksheet Pack covers a single episode in detail:

2 - Florence and the Renaissance

What You Will Get for in these Crash Course European History Worksheets:

• 22 True/False Problems in video order
• One discussion task
• A map worksheet covering Italy and surrounding areas
• Detailed answer keys
• Lots of lesson plan ideas / instructional approaches for using the worksheets

The materials provided include:

• A student worksheet without timestamps, provided in both large format and condensed versions. The large format provides students with plenty of room for their answers, while the condensed variant will help you save on paper and ink!
• A student worksheet with timestamps showing at which point in the video the needed information is presented (also provided in both large-format and condensed versions)
• A full context answer key: This contains the student questions, the answer(s), and the timestamps for each question.
• At times, the answer keys may provide teachers with additional relevant information to help them provide more context for their students. I add this information in whenever I think it might be useful. Teaching ideas related to specific issues may also be embedded in the answer keys.
• A separate map worksheet with a full answer key provided.

In addition to the above, you will also get more than a full page of lesson plan ideas to help you use the worksheets in a variety of ways, so that you can vary your instructional time to keep student engagement high! There's a lot more you can do than the standard, show the video and then have students work on the worksheet. These lesson plan ideas will help you mix it up in class!

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 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 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 European History is a great place to start.

The script of each episode is packed with humorous observations about life and culture -- ones that help to make strong points about the history being communicated. Just as importantly, the host, John Green, has what it takes to keep students' interest: enthusiasm about the topics, an informative cartoon segment in every episode, and a funny, sardonic delivery of content. Students like watching the series, which means they pay attention to it and learn!

Each episode of Crash Course contains about 10 minutes of content plus a brief time for the credits. Episodes are available for free on YouTube at the following playlist:
