U.S. History Instant Activities Spiral Review of Social Studies topics Including: U.S. History, Economics, and Geography By: Melissa Shaw Spiral Instant Activities for U.S. History Thank you for purchasing my Spiral Instant Activities for U.S. History. I created this resource to use in my own classroom. I truly believe that Spiral Review is the key to success when teaching any subject area. I have used my Spiral Review for Math for the past 2 years and it has helped my students make huge gains on standardized test scores. For this reason, I have created a similar spiral review system for my Social Studies class. I use the History Alive program, so most of the topics follow the progression of this program. This was created for my 5th Grade classroom but would also be a great review for any U.S. History classroom. On the next page you will find the Topics Index, which shows all the Topics taught in my Social Studies classroom and covered in this review. You can look beside each topic to see when it is first introduced, and on which Review sheets it is addressed. Each review sheet is numbered, and contains 1-3 questions. To save paper, there are 2 reviews on each sheet. I have also included an answer key to this document. I have proofread it several times, but if you encounter any typo’s or mistakes, please let me know by using the “ask a question” feature on TpT. Thank you again for your purchase! Social Studies Topics Index Listed are the topics covered in 5th Grade Social Studies and the History Mystery #’s that review each topic.
