This guide is for the video: The Dark Ages: The fall of civilization and Rise of the New World. ISBN: 0767097211 on DVD. Students should always have a guide when watching a film in class. You should read the guide with the class prior to viewing the video to make sure students know what to look for.
Just what I needed, Thanks!

The viewing guide did exactly what it was intended to do. It provided a way for my students to interact with the video and produce a resource with which they can study for the evaluation I am going to give them at the end of the viewing. I would have rated the resource all A's if the an evaluation tool would have been included (test or quiz questions) and if the handout was a little more aesthetically pleasing. It did save me the time of viewing the video with the intent of writing questions, and that time saved is well worth more than what I spent on the resource. Recommended.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I do not write evaluation tools because I don't know what your objective is for showing the film. Please consider that each state has their own ways of writing questions to assess student understanding as well. =)

The activities are OK but I think the exercise is more suited for primary school; I've found it too simple for secondary school. I liked the last question very much and I think more questions of this type could be added to address older students.

this is a VIEWING GUIDE for watching a video to keep students on task- IF you make the questions higher level thinking, then they are worried about answering the questions NOT watching the video. It is meant to keep them on task NOT to make them think...that is your job for discussion after the video.

Help
Just wanted to let you know that this is a great worksheet, but you had an error on the answer key. Did you catch the error and fix it? It is with the last few answers. Thanks.

No, I will look at it. It has been posted for a couple of years, no one ever told me. Sorry for the problem. I probably sell one of these a week, never heard about it before. What question? =)

I created most of my viewing guides while home on maternity leave. They are designed strictly as on task activities NOT higher level thinking. I have some additional assignments posted, but please take this into consideration when downloading a viewing guide. I only make 30 cents each off them, but I am learning a lot and will have them ready for me to go back the classroom. =) After teaching Middle School for 6 years, I am taking a break to teach Job Corps students resume skills, employment skills and preparing them for their driving tests. In Middle School: I taught US HISTORY and Government for 5 years to 8th graders. I also taught one year of WORLD GEOGRAPHY to 6th graders. 5 of those years I also taught at least one READING ENRICHMENT class.
