U.S. History Quick Starts is part of the Quick Starts series, which provides students in grades 4 through 8+ with quick review activities that start the day's lesson off right and help students practice and review social studies concepts they have learned in class. Each page features two to four quick starts that can be cut apart and used separately. The entire page may also be used as a whole-class or individual assignment. Students will use creative and critical-thinking skills in the following units: The Land and First People; Explorers and Colonizers; Revolutionaries and Pioneers; Slavery, Freedom, and Technology; and The United States as a World Power. Use the quick starts: - to start the day's lesson; - as a pre-test assessment; - as review for test prep; - displayed on a whiteboard or classroom projection device; - or in a learning center for students who have extra time.
