Description
These hardcover student textbooks can be used in any order based on what your high school student would like to study. Equipped with a soft cover Primary Source and Reading Guide to provide access to documents, letters, and more; also, a place to document students comprehension over their readings. These thorough textbooks easily provide a year’s History studies and work ELA skills, critical thinking skills, vocabulary, and citizenship. All textbooks include a wealth of primary sources, images, and comprehension questions, along with quick study guides, and chapter tests.
Online resources include interactives, videos, more primary sources, biographies, activities, assessments, and e-texts in English and Spanish. Teacher resources are only available on the digital platform and include a wealth of helpful resources including a full teacher guide with lesson plan summaries; editable student worksheets, quizzes, and chapter tests; additional articles, links, news sources; and other general resources such as graphic organizers, maps, and correlations to national standards. Answers are found in the Teacher Edition e-text or more conveniently under each chapter or topic section. Students do not have access to answers. The online platform functions as a teacher and student portal. Parents will set up the account and then, as teacher, they will oversee assigning the students work to access from the student’s portal. This gives you the flexibility to assign as little or as much as you desire. ~Rebecca
