The quiz is also available on Google Forms, and I include explicit directions on how to assign and tweak (if desired) for your students. The quiz is also self-grading!

⭐️Short on time? Simply give students the reading passage, and they can complete the reading comprehension activities independently. All information needed for the activities is contained in the reading passage! These can also be used for homework.

⭐️Perfect for sub plans! These lessons require ZERO prep for substitute plans. Students can easily check their own answers with the included answer keys.

What teachers are saying about this Gilded Age Unit:

❤️ “I cannot say enough about Brainy Apples' products! We've yet to be even slightly disappointed. My daughter does not enjoy history or social studies much, so we had to look beyond the textbook for her. These bundles are the perfect answer! The perfect combination of reading and comprehension and fun power points and videos. We've used several of these now, and now my daughter seeks out the videos used in the PowerPoint on her own for other subjects she wants to learn more about! She even happily watches history/social studies documentaries now. I highly recommend this bundle!”

❤️ “Excellent resources that made it easier to teach the Gilded Age!”

❤️ “So many great materials! Thank you! I love a full, and editable, arsenal of extremely useful and engaging resources.”
