What It Reviews
The first semester of a full US History survey course, colonization to Reconstruction: The colonies: founding, the colonial regions, mercantilism, the Atlantic slave trade and the Middle Passage, the Great Awakening. The Revolution: from the Proclamation of 1763 and the Intolerable Acts to Lexington and Concord, Yorktown and the Treaty of Paris. The Constitution: the Articles, the Virginia Plan, the Three-Fifths Compromise, federalism, the branches of government, ratification. The early republic: Hamilton, Marbury v. Madison, the Alien and Sedition Acts, the Whiskey Rebellion, the causes of the War of 1812, the Missouri Compromise. A growing nation: Jackson, Indian Removal and the Trail of Tears, the Erie Canal, the Mexican-American War, the Gold Rush, abolition and the Seneca Falls Convention. The Civil War and Reconstruction: Fort Sumter, Antietam, the Black Codes, the Freedmen’s Bureau, the 15th Amendment. Every answer was checked twice, and every game question is editable if your course took a different route.
Many state high school courses, Texas US History among them, start in 1877. If yours does, this kit reviews the years before your course begins, so it will not match your exam.
Works On
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks (Google Slides). Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.
Important
Play the games in Slide Show (Present) mode so every cell, box, button, and link works. The sound buttons on the quiz slides (thumbs-up, thumbs-down and music) and the music in the Mystery Box play in the PowerPoint versions, which are included here. These sound buttons do not play in Google Slides, so there they are decorative. Both games in this kit keep score on the printable score sheets.
