New Social Studies Questions for the New School Year

Posted on August 25, 2015

New social studies questions with a focus on United States History are now available in our middle school levels (G, H and I). Topics include the Anasazi, 13 Colonies, American Revolution, Articles of Confederation/Constitution, Trail of Tears, Native American Citizenship, and the Harlem Renaissance. Many of the questions include reading selections from our partner Cobblestone & Cricket Media, an award winning producer of 15 magazines. The Castle social studies team is excited to showcase these articles along with our original questions, which will give students meaningful learning experiences and the opportunity to practice critical thinking skills. All questions are aligned with the Common Core Literacy Standards in History/Social Studies and state standards where appropriate.

Question types include multiple choice, constructed response, dropdown menus, drag & drop and “check all that apply” options.  These questions can be found by searching in the following topics:

Social Studies > US History > Early America (Beginnings to 1492) > The First Americans

Social Studies > US History > Exploration, Colonization & Settlement (1492-1763) > The Thirteen Colonies

Social Studies > US History > Revolutionary War (1763-1783) > Moving Towards War

Social Studies > US History > Expansion, Reform & Controversy (1815-1860) > Movement West & Native Americans

Social Studies > US History > Progressivism and War (1880-1920) > Progressive Period

Social Studies > US History > Progressivism and War (1880-1920) > World War I

Social Studies > US History > Between the Wars (1920-1939) > The Roaring Twenties

 

In addition, new Common Core middle school questions were also added during the summer in the topics below. See more information in the blog post by clicking here.

Social Studies > US History > Exploration, Colonization & Settlement (1492-1763) > European Exploration and Settlers

Social Studies > US History > Expansion, Reform & Controversy (1815-1860) > Sectionalism Grows

Social Studies > US History > Civil War & Reconstruction (1850-1877) > Underlying Causes and Related Issues

Social Studies > US History > Civil War & Reconstruction (1850-1877) > A Nation Divided

Social Studies > History > Civil War & Reconstruction (1850-1877) > Reconstruction & Aftermath

Social Studies > US History > Rise of Industrial America (1860-1900) > Changing Social Structure

Social Studies > US History > Between the Wars (1920-1939) > Great Depression & the New Deal

 

Finally, new drag & drop questions were added during the summer that ask students to label the 13 Colonies, 50 states and the state capitals in Social Studies > Geography & Map Skills > Basic Concepts > Geographic Terms and Places. There are public assignments available for each group. See more information in the blog post by clicking here.
