Questions for SS8G1 & SS8G2

Georgia Studies

Ideas for Use:

© 2015 Brain Wrinkles

• Begin each class period with 1 question (or more). Have students keep a section of their Interactive Notebooks reserved specifically for Warm-ups. (My students flip their notebooks over and start from the back.) They are encouraged to not lose their papers because a lot of my test questions come from here. The answer sheet turns into the perfect study guide.

• You can also use this file at the end of the semester to review for the final exam AND at the end of the year to review for the Georgia Milestones!

Teacher Info:

• The following slides are answer sheets for the students to write down their complete answers (not just A,B,C,D). My students tape these pages to the back of their Interactive Notebooks.

• You don’t have to use these sheets; they can just write directly in their notebooks. However, I like them because they can see the questions/answers all year long. Plus, the sheets can be used as a study guide for the BIG test at the end of the year!
