America: Story of US – Episode 11 'Superpower' Guide

Record answers while a documentary plays, tracking questions in the order the episode presents its material

Identify the drivers of post-war American prosperity: the interstate highway programme, mass car production and affordable suburban housing

Identify dates and events from the Space Race and Civil Rights movement while following the episode’s question order

The instruction line promises the answers arrive in the film's order, so students who lose their place can use the question number rather than rewinding

Question 11 is a gap in a quotation rather than a fact, so it rewards close listening; the missing word is 'wrongs'

The episode summary printed on the student page works as a five-minute pre-watch read, setting up the Soviet conflict and the Communism theme before the film starts

Note-taking from a documentary — students answer sixteen questions live, in the sequence the episode supplies the information.

Retention of dates and figures — the sheet asks for 1969, 1961, 1962, 1963, 80% and 250,000, each tied to a specific event in the episode.

Connecting cause to consequence — the run from post-war earnings and car production to suburban expansion, the Space Race and superpower rivalry is followed in order across the two pages.
