Quarter 4 Review: Social Studies

34 points total · Name: ____________________ Date: __________

For the adult

Give this review in Week 36, during Quarter Review week. It is not timed; most children finish in 20 to 30 minutes. You may read everything aloud, and your child may answer out loud while you write, because this checks social studies thinking, not reading. Your child may look back at the map chart and the notes box at any time. Scrap paper is welcome for the money problems, but no calculator, so you can see your child's work. Do not teach, hint or correct during the review. Afterward, use the scoring notes, add the points and find the level. This is a snapshot for the quarter report, not a grade. If a section earns less than half of its points, revisit the weeks and days listed for it.
