Short response: the century's biggest change

Start with a question students can talk about right away: "What do you already know about short response: the century's biggest change?" or a picture on the board to look at together. Then let students work through it independently and self-check their own work against an answer key before you review it as a class, keeping a map, calendar, or word bank in view if the activity uses one. When you review, ask students what surprised them or what they'd like to find out next. These short response: the century's biggest change worksheets work well as a class discussion starter, an independent center activity, or a take-home page to talk about with family.

These short response: the century's biggest change worksheets for 5th grade give students a first hands-on look at one of the big ideas in the twentieth century.
