Student Handouts

News for April, 2010

Spring break! This means enjoying a much needed rest. Unfortunately, it also means trying to get kids' minds back on school after they've enjoyed a taste of summer freedom.

The end of the year also means that Social Studies classes are slowly but surely catching up to current events. Thanks to the United States government's foreign outreach programs, we have a ton of printable readings with questions that can be used in American/U.S. History courses (or World History courses).

The complete list of American History readings can be found here (listed chronologically and divided into sections).

Here's a sampling:

The Native American Movement

Environmentalism

Nixon, Vietnam, and the Cold War

Conservatism and the Rise of Ronald Reagan

Panama and NAFTA

American Foreign Relations in the Clinton Years

The Presidential Election of 2000 and the War on Terror

Enjoy!
