Social Studies 600 is based onNeighbors in Latin America, a beautifully illustrated full-color textbook (sold separately). Units 1-4 cover the early history, geography, and climate of Latin America as a whole. Units 5-10 divide Latin America into regions and give specific information about the major countries in each region.
A limited number of activities appear in the textbook, designed to review only the highlights. For student work activities, choose either the workbook study or the LightUnit study for better coverage of the material. Either option is a full-year course.
The ten LightUnits match the ten units of the textbook. Two quizzes and a LightUnit test are included in each LightUnit.
The two-workbook option provides one worksheet per lesson and will require more teacher input. This option includes a pack of quizzes, reviews, and tests for each student.
