My students like it and appreciate several aspects: it does not "talk down" to them; it is practical; it is informative without being preachy or condescending; it adds variety to their curriculum.

Not impressed with this purchase. Questions out of order and very generic. Expected more for the price.

I'm sorry it wasn't to your liking. If I revise them to offer a "questions in movie order" version of the files, you will get an update notification when I upload the new materials.

I could not open any of the files!

They are in a zipped folder. Are you able to unzip it? Inside the folder you will find both .rtf and .tst files. The programs needed to open these files are as follows:
--->Examview .tst so you can print tests out or use them with CPS/Examview electronic testing systems
--->Examview .bnk so you can combine the various question banks in any way you please to make your own tests (For example, combine one set of files to make a during-viewing paper/pencil worksheet and combine the other set of files to make a post-test.)
--->.rtf Microsoft Word and other word processors can open these files. The rtf files are perfect for making worksheets or adding other enhancements to the files.
If you can open the RTF files then you do not need Examview at all, as the content is identical in all three formats -- the different formats are provided for teacher convenience in using the content in various ways.
Please let me know if you got the zip folder open. If necessary, I could send you the files directly. Please reply with your email address if this option would be helpful to you. At present I have no way to contact you except this "reply to comment" box.

For the price I would have liked to see an answer key provided to make grading easier.
May 7, 2012
Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
I understand, but a lot of the questions are very subjective -- I feel that teachers need to grade them based on the quality of the student's rationale, which of course is an individual decision.
For example, question #13:
Is it appropriate for the president’s personal life, including how he raises his daughter, to be a campaign issue? Support and defend your opinion, whatever it is.
I do see that some of the questions could have some answers, though even those are not usually cut and dried the way true/false questions might be.
Thank you for your input. If I add an answer key for the items to which it applies, you should see an updated version of the product to download from your user area.

Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
I assume you are talking about the smart viewer -- the program you need to use to open the Allied War Conferences presentation?
I have two solutions for you:
1) Use the online interactive viewer at
http://express.smarttech.com/#
Once at that site, click on "open an existing notebook file" to load up the file you have purchased here at TpT.
This solution requires your school to allow internet access to
http://express.smarttech.com/# of course. If you can't access that site either, try #2:
2) You could try downloading the viewer at home and bringing in the .exe file on a flash drive, etc, so you could get it installed at school.
I do hope that one of these ideas will get you up and running with the Allied War Conferences presentation.
Sincerely,
Elise Parker

How do I get to the movie link?
February 26, 2012
Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
This is the link posted at the bottom of the product description:
-------> link to free online videos that coordinate with these worksheets:
http://www.learner.org/resources/series123.html
Once at the site, click on the little "VoD" (video on demand) icon that follows each episode description. A new window or tab will open and the video will stream.
The site used to require users to register (completely free), but I don't think they even require that any longer. The videos are simply online for educational purposes for anyone -- teachers, students, self-motivated learners.
They have over a hundred different series, each with many episodes -- I hope you enjoy the site and that the worksheets I have prepared are useful.

I cannot open this file and I really need it today. Thank you
May 29, 2013
Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
Leave another Q&A with your email address and I will send you the unzipped contents of the file. You will need either Examview or Word to be able to open the files as they are in those formats. Right now to open the file you need to use an unzip utility -- if you are using Windows, double clicking on it should work, since there is an unzip utility built right into the Windows operating system.
At any rate, I can help you when I have an email address. I can see your username but TpT keeps your email private from me even though you have bought the product from me.
I hope to hear from you soon,

Hi Gnocco77,
Thanks for getting in touch with me about this. It looks like the Smithsonian channel has removed the free video they had posted on YouTube. I found a 45-second free preview of the video here:
http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/sn/show.do?show=131377#video
Unfortunately, I could not find a completely free full copy like used to exist online when I made and posted these questions. However, I did see that the Smithsonian Channel is selling downloadable copies of the full video for only $2.99 through iTunes. You can see that option here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/war-stories/id382122005?i=383911177&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
A downloaded copy would be in mp4 format and would play in iTunes -- with a projector you could have the whole class watch it on a screen, the same as would have been true for the YouTube version.
I am sorry if this has inconvenienced you in any way -- I did not know that the Smithsonian had pulled the plug on their free content.
Sincerely,
Elise
P.S. I will edit my listing ASAP

Debra Leschyn re: Interactive History Games -- Post-War and Cold War Years -- JUMBO set
I would like a version of this smartboard lesson that is not password protected so I can change some of the questions, for example, to reflect more closely what my students are doing. Thank you.
April 16, 2012
Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
Of course. I am sorry the password got in your way. I always put one in by default so that students could not go straight to the answer key. The password on all of my smartboard files in the same one: igloo.
Sorry for the inconvenience. You may find that you want to keep some kind of password on them, otherwise it is possible for a student playing the games to change the answers to wrong ones or delete them entirely. If they then saved the file, you'd lose all your hard work.

eydieginn re: Armenian Genocide -- 77 Questions in Word AND Examview formats
I purchased this and cannot open the zipped files. I downloaded the software to make that possible after downloading your file. What should I do to make it work? Also, is there a way to print the quizzes without the answers? Thank you...
March 24, 2012
Elise Parker (TpT Seller)
Any computer should be able to open a zipped file using software built into the operating system. I will ask the staff at TpT to help you.
As for quizzes without the answers, you can print just the quiz by opening the .rtf file with your word processor (such as Microsoft Word) and going to your print menu. There should be a place where you can specify a page range to print. Print just the pages that you want -- the first few pages are the quiz questions, the last few are the answers.

I'm glad your problem was solved. The .rtf file contains an answer key directly after the questions, which means it's on the last couple of pages of the file. Enjoy the movie questions!

The answer key is provided in the .rtf file -- the first few pages of the file will be questions; the last couple of pages are answers. I don't sell any products that lack proper answer keys -- it's my belief that your purchase entitles you to a fully workable product from the start. <p>Elise

You don't need a SmartBoard. You do need a program that can open Smart Notebook files. There is a free internet application that can do this, located at http://express.smarttech.com/

Load that address into a web browser and then choose file--open to open up the .notebook file.

The Examview program can open both .tst files and .bnk files. Run Examview and then choose "Open an Existing Question Bank." The difference between a .tst and a .bnk is that you can combine .bnk files to make a .tst files. I think that was why I made these as .bnk files -- so that you could combine them as you like to create tests/worksheets. In Examview you can't merge one .tst with another -- you have to export them as .bnk files first.
Please don't hesitate to reply if you have any further questions.
