FAQs

What does the Who Am I? worksheet cover?

This Grade 3 worksheet uses 11 multiple-choice “Who am I?” clues to help students identify Henry Heinz, Milton Hershey, James Buchanan, Andrew Carnegie, Robert Fulton, and Benjamin Franklin. By matching details about businesses, inventions, transportation, philanthropy, the Declaration of Independence, and the presidency to the correct person, students strengthen their ability to connect historical contributions with specific figures.

How can I use this worksheet to teach students about these American historical figures?

Introduce the six names and briefly group the clues into categories such as business, invention, public service, and leadership before students answer the multiple-choice items. After each response, ask students to explain which clue supports their choice—for example, why an assembly line points to Milton Hershey or why the steamboat clue points to Robert Fulton. This turns the worksheet from name recall into evidence-based historical identification.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may confuse Henry Heinz and Milton Hershey because both clues describe food businesses, or confuse Andrew Carnegie’s steel and philanthropy clues with the other business-related figures. They may also overlook that two questions identify James Buchanan through different clues—his Pennsylvania connection and his presidency before the Civil War—or mistake Benjamin Franklin’s inventions and Declaration of Independence work for another figure’s contributions. Review the distinctive evidence in each clue rather than accepting guesses based only on the answer choices.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all 11 multiple-choice questions. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, while the digital quiz can be assigned through the platform for online completion and grading.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the 11 historical-figure clues and answer choices are easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options better support students working with the multiple-choice prompts.
