Throw your back out? Need a mental health day (or days)? New to teaching US History? Or, simply... do you want to shift away from constant teacher-led instruction? Then this 400+ page bundle is a MUST for your classroom! Many of these resources will supplement US History units that you teach throughout the school year; great to have in the middle of a unit when you want to shift the workload to the students! There is no prep work involved; just print, copy, and distribute or use digitally. Resources also have Google compatibility (**Disclaimer**- 'Argumentative Writing Prompts' can be transferred to Google Docs as needed and jpegs of each page are provided to upload; The "Ultimate Map Pack" is accessible in Google Slides, but the blank maps should be printed for coloring and labeling purposes)! This bundle is nice to have on-hand for substitutes as well. Students will become independent learners and thinkers, and as an added bonus- your life will become easier!

Included:

- 47 Argumentative Writing Prompts. Great for the end of a unit; Includes a statement that students either support or oppose, an outline for students to provide a claim, supporting evidence, a counter-claim, and a closing statement. Topics align with every unit in a US History course!

- 47 “Voices From History” Primary Source Readings and Scavenger Hunts. This resource is one of my favorites! You will find more than one primary source reading to accompany each US History unit (starting with the American Revolution and ending post-Cold War).

All 47 primary source readings come with 'Scavenger Hunt' charts, annotation directions, Multiple Choice quizzes, and a long response evidence-based writing piece. Talk about 21st Century skills!
