U.S. History Shorts
These 2 reproducible binders, by Kristina Swann, were
designed for students of all ages who need help learning the basic
concepts covered in U.S. history classes. The low reading level and
age-appropriate illustrations make the short, high-interest passages
and activities appealing to struggling readers. Lessons are
effective for on-level students, students with learning differences,
students with behavior challenges, and students and adults who are
reading below grade level. Lessons are also appropriate for at-risk
and ESL students.
Shorts
Each binder features between 28 and 30 one-page stories, or shorts,
that focus on key historical concepts. Shorts can be used as
introductory lessons, can be taught in greater depth with additional
resources or can serve as an overview for topics that you wish to
cover quickly.
Activity Sheets
Following each short are 4 activity sheets and a quiz. Students
practice reading-comprehension skills and answer content-area recall
questions; interpret maps, charts,
and graphs; research significant historical people, places, and
events; and express opinions through writing. The activity sheets
include multiple-choice, short-answer, and extension questions as
well as crossword puzzles. Each short also includes visual activity
which consists of a map, chart, or graph. For each short, alone-page
quiz assesses students’ understanding of the most important
information. Quizzes include questions written in standardized test
format. Answer keys are also provided.
