Description

Review for a test with Westward Movement Task Cards. There are 36 question cards that are a combination of recall, primary source quotes, maps and images. Challenge your students at a variety of levels! Differentiate by giving certain cards to your students. A blank template is included at the end if you wish to include more questions. The Answer Sheet has space for up to 40 questions. I recommend that you laminate the cards so that you can use them year after year.

These task cards have multiple uses in your classroom. You can:
– Set up centers to review for a test.
– Play a game of “Scoot”. Place the task cards around the room and allow students to travel from one card to the next as they answer the questions.
– Use them as an anchor station as you reteach small groups.
– Need a quick formative assessment? Pass out a few of these task cards and have students answer them at the end of a lesson.

These task cards include questions on the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark Expedition, Annexation of Texas, Oregon Territory, Mexican American War and California Gold Rush.
