TeachersIdeas for Use:
• Begin each class period with 1 (or more questions). Have students keep a section of their Interactive Notebooks reserved specifically for Warm-ups. (My students flip their notebooks over and start from the back.) They are encouraged to not lose their papers because a lot of my test questions come from here. The answer sheet turns into the perfect study guide.
• *You can also use this file at the end of the semester to review for the final exam AND at the end of the year to review for the CRCT!
• The questions are color-coded by GPS topic:
• Yellow = Geographic Understandings
• Light Blue = Historical Understandings
• Blue = Government Understandings
• Green = Economic Understandings

Teachers
The following slides are answer sheets for the students to write down their answers. My students tape these pages to the back of their Interactive Notebooks.
*You don’t have to use these sheets; they can just write directly in their notebooks. However, I like them because they can see the questions/answers all year long. Plus, the sheets can be used as a study guide for the BIG test at the end of the year!
