There's a lot to learn about California. These easy-to-use activity books will introduce students to the basic history and geography of this diverse state. Both books are set up in a very traditional workbook style - a page or so of text accompanying a map, chart, picture or puzzle with some questions to be answered or activities to be completed. Worksheets are consumable and reproducible for classroom or family use. The 90-page history workbook covers Native Americans, Mexican Americans, Black Americans, Exploration, Settlements, Missions, the Mexican-American War, Asian Americans, the Gold Rush, statehood and symbols and includes periodic reviews and the answers. The 61-page geography book covers an overview of the world, locating California, physical and economic features, climate, political features and also includes reviews and answers.
