Worksheets, Activities, and Complete Units

1. This program makes nice reports and handwriting worksheets for the unit www.startwrite.com
2. This company gives away two free software worksheet factories, one for basic math and one word search utility, that will make wonderful complements to this unit when you include the clip art listed in the clip art section. www.schoolhousetech.com
3. This site will turn any text into a worksheet. Use it with the Wikipedia text or texts from Project Gutenberg. Open up a Microsoft Word “New” document, open the template and add-ins for teacher’s pet, and add one paragraph at a time. Click the appropriate tab for the type of question you want. You can also use it to make multiple-choice vocabulary sheets. www.teachers-pet.org
4. This site has several online worksheet makers and a ton of rubric makers. Rubrics work great with Homeschool Tracker because they give you total points and you count up exactly how many points your child gets.
5. Online Crossword Puzzle Maker to use with your Vocabulary words or locations or even dated from the timeline. www.happychild.org.uk/wks/english/ssm/crosswords01.htm

Art and Craft Ideas

Information and General Web Resources
Includes geographical information as well as events and people you should discuss while studying regions of the US. One idea would be to have the student browse the website for 10-20 minutes and then write a paragraph about it.
