Product Description
The 71 tests in this assessment package have been designed around the primary goal of A History of US: understanding information, not memorizing. Each test checks understanding of chapter content, which is coordinated with the teaching guides for each volume of the A History of US set. A portion of the questions assess knowledge of key facts and chronology. The rest of the questions require students to use critical thinking skills such as making comparisons, synthesizing information, and drawing conclusions.
Reader Reviews
I'd just like to say I found this helpful for homeschooling my high schooler. There is a test at regular intervals. It is hard enough that you could not guess at it, but it is not so hard you have to memorize every date or anything. There is no pressure to prepare for cumulative tests. Yet there is enough to keep the student alert & thinking while reading. This one book is expensive, but more affordable than purchasing the Teaching Guides for each individual book in the 10-book set. And faster to use, since you are already reading ten books & adding tons more work can be a bit of overkill. The Teaching Guides do have more info on introducing/teaching the material, worksheets, and essay-type assignments, if the student does better with that.
