3 Branches of Government Sort Worksheet
This is a sorting worksheet I made for my students to show what they've learned about the three branches of government. Everything I looked for was much too difficult for my CDC students, so I created this worksheet as a simple activity but one that still covers all the important concepts.

Vietnam War: The Draft - Who Stays, Who Goes?
Some of the best group discussions I have ever seen came out of this assignment, which asks students to "serve" on a Vietnam-era draft board to determine who goes and who stays from 10 short, realistic bios, and defend their decisions. Students get worked up and passionate! It really helps bring the tension and frustration of a draft (and allowing exceptions to the draft) to life.

Civil Rights Movement: Jim Crow Era Literacy Test (with Answers)
Here is an opportunity to really bring history to life in a memorable fashion. This is a 30 question Literacy Test given by the state of Louisiana to disenfranchise African Americans in the early 1900's. As stated in the directions on the actual document, individuals were given 10 minutes and had to receive a perfect score. This is virtually impossible, especially since some questions appear to have more than one possible right answer -- but that was the point. I tell students the day before tha

FDR's New Deal: Can YOU Solve the Great Depression?
This is a highlight every year. Students really get into this. I made this assignment because my students could never really grasp the enormity and complexity of the challenges FDR faced during the Great Depression. It seemed anti-climatic to just tell them about the bunch of New Deal programs, so I created an assignment that not only forces the students to brainstorm ways to alleviate suffering and prevent future crisis, but to acknowledge the criticism they will face no matter what actions the

Resistance to Reconstruction: Sharecropping, KKK, Jim Crow Laws
I found that students lacked a true understanding of the institutionalized racism and social/political/economic challenges African Americans faced in the 100 years between the end of slavery and the first breakthroughs of the Civil Rights Movement. To provide more context, I created this assignment explaining sharecropping, the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests, and Grandfather Clauses. It is very informative and great for class discussion afterwards and linking to modern times.
