Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History in One Big Fat Notebook 2ED
Recently updated with an inclusive recounting of historical events, this US History guide covers pre-history to early1600s, Colonial America, American Revolution to early Republic, American Expansion, Civil War and Reconstruction, Reshaping the Nation, Modern America (Great War, Roaring 20s, and Great Depression), WWII, Post WWII including the Korean War, Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War, and Current Events from 1990-2021. Topics also include a brief look at the Covid19 pandemic, the 2020 election and the events of January 6, 2021.
The Big Fat Notebooks meet Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and state history standards, and are vetted by National and State Teacher of the Year Award–winning teachers. They make learning fun, and are the perfect next step for every kid who grew up on Brain Quest.
Subtitled Notes borrowed from the Smartest Kid in Class (Double-checked by an Award-Winning Teacher), that statement conveys the mood of this series. My kids devoured Brain Quest Products. "Did you know…? I bet you can't guess…" echoed around the house. Now Brain Quest has applied the same contagious, streamlined and memorable approach to key subjects for middle schoolers. Written as though it's a notebook borrowed from the smartest kid in class, kids are encouraged to read it and complete brief end-of-chapter review, making this notebook their own. Vocabulary words, definitions and key terms are highlighted. You'll find diagrams, timelines, mnemonic devices and even doodles. While books vary in chapter total, topic and length, all cover the main points of middle school subjects, are over 500 pages and include a Check Your Knowledge section at each chapter's end. Perfect for review, "between-the-grades" activities, to supplement unit studies or as fun reinforcement. Reproducible for classroom use only. 6x8", reinforced sc. ~ Ruth
I am doing a summer review prior to high school for my kids using this book. I got this because I already have and enjoy the World History version.
Will work for my grade levels for multiple years. Short and easy to understand
My 6th grader loves history and this looks like an easy fun way to dig in a bit more.
Colorful, inviting, somewhat comprehensible history overview for daily use.
