Young Washington 2026 French & Indian War Movie Guide + Google Forms

Keep students watching and writing the whole way through with this fill-in-the-blank worksheet for Young Washington (Angel Studios, 2026). The 32 questions follow the video in the order it plays, so students record each answer as that moment happens on screen instead of reconstructing it afterward — which holds their attention and leaves them with an organized set of notes to study from later.

Built for US History, it is a natural fit for US History and early American history classes (grades 8-12) working the French and Indian War, the Ohio Country, Fort Necessity and Braddock's defeat -- the colonial chapter most survey courses cover in a week and few resources support, and AP US History classes bridging Period 2 and Period 3, where Washington's early command is the link between imperial rivalry and the road to revolution. The film runs about 112 minutes, so the sheet is built to carry a multi-day study or a longer viewing block rather than a single sitting. Use it as a full-period viewing activity, a guided companion when you hand the room to a substitute, or a focused review at the end of a unit. A complete answer key is printed on the final page, so whoever is covering the class can run it with no preparation and no background knowledge. The 2-pages layout is clean and low-ink, designed to print two-sided. Everything is laid out for a low-prep class period: hand out the page, press play, and let students do the rest. The questions stay in the order the video presents them, so students can follow along without losing their place. It prints cleanly in black and white, which keeps a full class set cheap to photocopy.
