Publisher's Description of World History Quick Starts Workbook
Help students understand world history through creative thinking activities, open-ended questions, and short-answer reviews.
The World History Quick Starts workbook reinforces students' knowledge of ancient civilizations from around the world. Activities include fill-in-the-blank, short answer, true/false, matching, word scrambles, and constructed response questions. 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.
It's hard to find a good middle school social studies supplement. These provide the parent/teacher with extra practice in targeted topics. The exercises, called quick starts, provide readers with another opportunity to apply what they have learned. You can use the quick starts a couple different ways. Copy and cut them out to use as a warm up activity (there are 2-4 per page). Assign a whole page as additional practice. Put individual quick starts in learning centers to complete in pairs or groups. Make a review game before a test. Come up with your own ideas too! Features include black and white text with some illustrations, dotted cut lines, reproducible for classroom/home use, answers in the back. From Carson Dellosa. 62pgs, pb. ~Sara
