Georgia Studies
25 Questions for SS8H9 &SS8H10
Ideas for Use:
• Begin each class period with 1 question (or more).
Have students keep a section of their Interactive
Notebooks reserved specifically for Warm-ups. (My
students flip their notebooks over and start from
the back.) They are encouraged to not lose their
papers because a lot of my test questions come
from here. The answer sheet turns into the
perfect study guide.
• You can also use this file at the end of the
semester to review for the final exam AND at the
end of the year to review for the Georgia
Milestones!

Teacher Info:
• The following slides are answer sheets for the
students to write down their complete answers
(not just A,B,C,D). My students tape these pages to
the back of their Interactive Notebooks.
• You don’t have to use these sheets; they can just
write directly in their notebooks. However, I like
them because they can see the questions/answers
all year long. Plus, the sheets can be used as a
study guide for the BIG test at the end of the
year!
