America's History

Paralleling the textbook chapter by chapter, the study guide helps students identify key issues and assess their own grasp of the material. Each chapter contains learning objectives that identify key themes, a chapter summary, an annotated timeline from the textbook, a glossary, identification and multiple-choice questions, and exercises on the maps, art, and special features in the text that encourage critical thinking. Two new essays--"Doing History" and "What History Is"--set the study of America's History in broader context and offer an understanding of the purpose and techniques of the discipline.
