There is a set of exercises for each chapter.
Some sections – Who, What, Where and Comprehension – are answered in one or two
complete sentences and can be done “open-book.” The Critical Thinking section
(not done open book) requires the student to produce a brief written reflection
on the ideas presented in the chapter. The student is helped in this by
preliminary exercises. The fourth section – Map Work (not included with every
chapter) – asks the student to go through a carefully structured set of steps –
tracing repeatedly, then copying while looking at the book, and finally, reproducing
from memory. [All needed maps are provided in the back of the books. Map Work
will require black pencils, colored pencils, and large amounts of tracing
paper.] The set of 85 worksheets (reproducible for families) are in the back
third of the book. The front third? Well, I guess you would call it the answer
key, but it feels like more. Each item/question to be identified or answered is
referenced to the text (by page and paragraph number). Sample answers are given
for each item including the essay questions. That’s it! There are no lesson
plans or additional information or teacher helps - just what you need to
provide a strong history course. Although there are no quarterly or final
tests, these would be easy to compile based on the information provided here. 832 pgs, pb.
