Answer Keys

Diane Vautour

Answer Keys? Hi everyone, Does the OER project ever provide answer keys? I see the option to flip between student view and teacher view for example hoping to save myself so much time creating my own answer keys but there really is nothing to guide the teacher in terms of suggested student responses. When I go to FAQs, it says that every unit has lesson guides and I cannot for the life of me find a lesson guide (only unit guides) and then it says there is supposed to be a hammer icon that provides answer keys?? Can anyone help? Looking specifically for the 3.3 World History answer keys (Transoceanic). Thank you in advance!

    Hi  ! Keep an eye out for the hammer icon. If you click that, you'll see teacher resources. Here's a sample lesson guide from the Origins course. Just be sure you're logged in to access teacher resources.

    Thank you so much for your help. So when I go to Lesson 3.2 in World History Since 1200, I only see a unit guide and there are no hammer icons or or lesson guides - just a unit guide, unit vocab,

    When I click open lesson, it only has each part of the lesson in chunks and then some prompts or teacher instructions but no answer keys to each worksheet. There will be answer keys for video questions right in lesson guide but that's it. I have never seen a hammer icon! Below is a screen shot of the teacher resources for the whole unit. Am I looking in the right spot? You sent a lesson guide but I don't see those. Thanks!

    Hi  , The Hammer Icon is currently available within the Climate Project and Origins courses. From 1200 to the present, I noticed an option to download the teaching material, including both teacher and student versions. And as   said, you can access these resources after logging in to the site.

    Thank you so much, okay good to know. Yes, I see download the materials but it is just blank worksheets. There is not a real substantial difference between teacher and student version from what I can see. Just some additional teacher prompts. Darn!

    Hi  The hammer icon is only for Climate Project and Origins. For the 1200 course, sample questions/answers are provided for the articles and videos. 

    When you click into the activities, you will find sample answers within the teacher copy. In the upper right corner, you will see if it is teacher copy or student copy. Here's a link to an activity in 3.3. You will see the sample answers in green font. Comparison – Women’s Roles

    Yes, thank you. So if I understand correctly the answer keys are not consistent. And further they are primarily for articles and videos. I am looking for 3.2 where there are 11 primary sources that students are doing quick sourcing on - there is no example or sample student responses on what a proper quick sourcing response would be. I don't really see a difference between student copy and teacher copy except the teacher copy has some prompts. Thank you again!

    Hi Diana, I can understand your confusion since two of our courses use the hammer feature to access the teacher lesson guides, while the 1200, 1750, and AP courses have not been converted to the new site format yet. We do have sample answers for most materials (Key Ideas questions for videos and articles and for the vast majority of our activities). If you are logged in as a teacher, the teacher version will be combined with the student version of activities, and you will find the sample answers in the teacher version. We do not, however, have sample answers for the Quick Sourcing activities. We encourage teachers to use these as they see fit in their classrooms, which might include only giving students a small selection of the sources or changing the guiding question for students to answer. We do have a Quick Sourcing - Introduction activity in the 1200 course that provides a bit more direction for these types of activities, but you will have to be logged in as a teacher in order to access the teacher copy. Here's the Quick Sourcing - Transformation of Beliefs activity with the teacher copy (again, if you are logged in as a teacher). Sorry we don't have exactly what you're looking for in terms of sample answers for these, but if you stay logged in as a teacher then you will be able to find all the sample answers for the other materials we have. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
