American History "I Can" Statements: students track their learning

Students can often tell you what they did in a unit but not what they learned. I Can statements give them a clear checklist of what they should know, a place to date it, and a spot to rate their own mastery.

This set covers modern US history from the Industrial Age to modern times, in print and with a Google link. I use them as bell ringers, exit tickets and test prep.

A tip from my classroom

On the first day of a unit, have students rate themselves on every I Can, even the ones they've never heard of. Have them rate again the day before the test. Seeing that change does more for their confidence than anything I could tell them, and the statements that didn't move show you what to reteach.

How the puzzles work

This Picture Puzzle Unit Review is a new and engaging way to create a quick reference study guide, conduct test prep, or just give students an opportunity to review key concepts throughout a unit in an engaging manner. Students will answer questions pertaining to the unit using answers printed on the back of easy to cut out square puzzle pieces. These answers will be placed on their unit review page and then the puzzle pieces will be placed on corresponding grid to revel a picture pertaining to the unit. Students will then use the review answers, the picture revealed, and their knowledge to complete a writing prompt.
