Mastering Social Studies Skills
Develop important social studies skills needed for success
Reading selections, writing exercises, maps, and illustrations reflect materials students regularly encounter in social studies classes.
Covering global geography, world history, government, economics, and current events, the text focuses on essential reading comprehension skills needed for understanding key social studies concepts. It develops strong writing skills for constructing complete sentences and paragraphs when answering questions and opinion essays and improves analytical skills for using maps and charts; picture, circle, bar, and line graphs; and photographs, historical prints, and cartoons.
Frequent checks of understanding with answers and explanations and short passages keep students engaged. Assessment includes multiple-choice, true-or-false, essay, constructed-response, and document-based questions.
