Here you will find a list of 21 questions for students to answer as they watch the movie "National Treasure" staring Nicholas Cage. Also included is a comprehensive answer key, complete with trivia about the Declaration of Independence and the clues from the film. As many students have already seen the film, I find that they love matching it against "real" history! It is an opportunity not only to see the Declaration of Independence from a different perspective, but to address the ways in which media portray history. After having covered the Declaration itself in depth in class, we view the film, students taking notes by answering the questions provided on the study guide (I just delete my answers, print a copy, and hand that out to them). Then we go over the answers and the trivia, and discuss what the Founding Fathers might think of the movie. It never fails to generate fun and interesting discussions!
This was my first TpT purchase and it excited me so much I have been back many times. Thanks for the last minute help.

Just what I needed for a short, 2 day Thanksgiving week lesson following an intensive week long study of America's important documents in history! Thanks!
