This is a comprehensive study guide to help your students review for the United States History I SOL. Beginning at USI.6 and continuing through USI.9, students will complete various activity pages in order to help them prepare for the SOL...you could also break it into sections and use this as a study guide for each unit throughout the year!

This worksheet is a great way to provide your students with some critical thinking! The worksheet has several quotes and the students must use their knowledge of the motivations, obstacles, and accomplishments of European exploration to decide to which the quote refers! Again, this is aligned with the VA USI.4a SOLs, but I'm sure it can be adjusted to fit your needs. An answer key is included! Created by Toni Carr

This was a song written to align with the VA USI.4a standards--European Exploration. The song talks about the four explorers required for this SOL--Coronado, La Salle, Cabot, and Champlain. It is sung to the tune of "You Don't Know You're Beautiful." For a video version, Please e-mail me and I will e-mail the video to you. Created by Toni Carr

Here is a great way to add to your students' knowledge of the Iroquois! They must pretend they have been sent back in time to observe the tribe just as an archaeologist would. They need to understand the role of women, how the Iroquois obtain food, make clothes, and what resources the Iroquois have available to them. Aligned with the Virginia SOLs USI.3.

This product can be used by anyone at any grade level! Its great for when you want the kiddos to practice writing. It is a postcard template with four postcards on it. The address label is also already on the template. My plan is to print them on cardstock and cut them apart! It can be used as a very simple assessment tool or as paprt of a lesson! Then you can easily hang them all to display student work!

This document is a collection of pictures and descriptions for each Native American group. The students must correctly label each picture/description with the name of each Native American group.
