Information Organizers - Social Studies

This is a set of 9 information organizers for U.S. History from the Civil War to Pearl Harbor. I created one organizer for each unit of study. Units: The Civil War, Reconstruction, Conquest of the West, The Industrial Revolution, Immigration and City Life, Becoming a World Power, The Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, and The Road to WWII. Each one page organizer generally provides the names of key people and terms relevant to that unit of study. Some organizers also provide place names and open ended questions to stimulate student thinking. Students fill in the necessary information for each name, term, question as we proceed through the unit of study. I found this to be a good way for students to summarize the bottom line knowledge they should gain. I used it at the middle school level, but it could be used for lower or higher grade levels.
