U.S. History Detective Book 2 continues the journey through our country’s past. Beginning with a review of the 1800s, the book focuses on post Reconstruction through Modern Times. Each lesson provides a passage students must read, followed by a series of questions. Questions are multiple choice, short answer, or short essay questions. Students are frequently asked to identify sentence evidence from the lesson that best supports the answer. Included are section review activities and some bonus activities. Students will also utilize a timeline, provided by the instructor, to organize events, people, or important information.
In this book, students will:
- Supply supporting evidence for many of their answers
- Supply essay evidence to support their conclusions by drawing on specific information from the lesson
- Draw inferences and conclusions based on their evaluation of the evidence
- Distinguish between facts and opinions
- Analyze historical chronology to see history as a series of interrelated events
- Acquire new vocabulary
- Learn to interpret and draw information from geographical maps, political cartoons, and charts
For students who struggle to remember the basics, such as colored pencils or writing pencils, supplies can be stored on campus and accessed during class.
