Assessment Guide

The 71 tests in the Assessment Guide have been designed around the goal of A History of US--understanding, not memorization. Each test consists of 15 multiple choice questions. A portion of the questions in each test assess knowledge of key facts and chronology. The balance require students to use critical thinking skills, such as making comparisons, synthesizing information, and drawing conclusions. Each question has four foils, only one of which is correct.

Johns Hopkins Teaching Resource Books

Johns Hopkins University's Talent Development Middle School program developed a series of innovative lesson plans and resource books to accompany A History of US. Each volume offers more than 650 pages of additional material: historical background for the teacher; extensive primary sources; and student cooperative learning activities--featuring simulation and role playing, analysis of primary sources, group investigation, use of websites, reading secondary historical materials, and problem solving. A set of lesson plans and resource books are available for each book in the series.
