Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History in One Big Fat Notebook, 2nd Edition: The Complete Middle School Study Guide

As an 8th grade social studies teacher, I love this! It's a quick check to make sure I'm including important info, its simple to read- (I am terrible at reading books), and my students love to flip through on down time. Great resource!

So far, I absolutely love this book on unit one about prehistory and my 11-year-old and I have already mastered the meso American culture. I love that there are questions and answers at the end of each chapter and units are separated to keep everything organized.

Great value, especially onSale!!..fits into curricculum requirements/guideline. What I really like is that it almost reads like a graphic novel, and is quite colorful and illustrated! My student actually looks forward to his assignments in this book, and often comments that his work was 'very interesting'. I love that there are questions at the end of each section to test knowledge and retention. I dislike that the answer keys are often on the back of some of the question pages..you have to remove that page and observe the student working on the last few answers..that is, unless you trust they won't be looking for 'references' in the answer key.

My 14 year old uses this as supplemental learning with his homeschool history curriculum. It has so much info and the quizzes every few pages help solidify learning.

Organized in the standard "periods" you'd find in a traditional textbook but this book presents the information in short, easy-to-digest bits of historical facts. This 'notebook" approach presents historical 'stuff' in a fun and manageable way. Best for someone who are not especially interested in plowing through a traditional text. Enjoy!

I’m happy to have it but the cover has a bit of dents looks a little ugly but It’s still readable! And it got it right in time :)

Love this book for 7th grade U.S. History! It’s colorful, organized, and easy to follow, which makes a big difference for keeping my student interested. My 7th grader is actually intrigued by the way it’s laid out and doesn’t find it boring like a traditional textbook. It feels more like a fun study guide than a chore. Great resource for homeschooling or extra practice at home.

I love the color notes! I collect all of this "everything you need to know" books.
