Publisher's Description of Memoria Press 200 Questions About American History Flashcards
These cards are based on our 200 Questions About American History study guides, but can be used with any good American history course. Who financed Columbus first voyage? Who was President during World War I? These are basic questions that everyone should know about American History.
This course is amazing! It lays a solid American History
foundation in preparation for the high school years and is one of the best
memory work programs I’ve seen! Students will need the Memoria Press one-volume
reprinting of the Guerber classics The Story of the Thirteen
Colonies and the Great Republic (first 24 weeks) and TheStory of the
World Volume 4 (last 8
weeks). The course prioritizes reading from the text before using the Student
Guide and Flashcards to help them get the facts “down pat.” Both the Student
Guide and Teacher Guide include the suggested 34-week schedule, coordinating
the reading of both Texts with the memory work. The 200 questions in
the Student Guide include drill questions (names, events, places, and
causes), timeline (supply the dates), notable quotes (who said it?), and
presidents (supply president’s name, dates in office, and a notable event).
Also included are several poems typically associated with American History.
The first half of the Teacher Guide mirrors the student pages with answers
filled in. The second half includes seven Tests with a Test Answer Key. Students
should plan for one day a week for reading the text and at least one or two
additional days for memory work. This program coordinates perfectly with The
Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic Course by Memoria
Press!
