Product description
From the author
This four-page viewing guide accompanies Mankind: The Story of All of Us, Episode 2: Iron Men. Two student pages provide a short episode synopsis and 18 fill-in or short-answer questions about iron, Greek warfare, China, Phoenician writing and religion. Two teacher-key pages repeat the questions with expected responses.
Arrange access to the episode separately. Discuss the key as the documentary’s account and check historical generalizations before presenting them as settled facts.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips
Arrange separate access to the episode before using the guide.
Pause for longer written responses.
In question 2, describe iron as an element rather than a mineral. The final key answer, The Old Testament, and broad claims about the Bible’s creation or readership need separate historical verification; do not use the key alone as factual proof.
