What is a 90 Second Social Studies Assignment?

90 Second Social Studies Assignments introduce students to a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time. The 90 second time limit serves as both a way to keep students on task, and to promote the idea of summarizing key details. 90 Second Social Studies Assignments can cover concepts, historical figures, landmarks, and events. 

Why does this assignment use Google Slides?

One of the issues with student presentations is the transition time between student presenters. When the presentations are all on the same google slide, transitions become seamless. Google Slides also enables students to work simultaneously on the assignment, and for teachers to observe edits and work in real time.

Based off the book Shh! We're Writing the Constitution by Jean Fritz. This is a great resource for students or teachers to use and includes a worksheet, word search, writing prompt, and answer keys. The worksheet can be used either for making notes while reading the book or after reading to see how much information is retained. The word search will help students to retain words and names important to the forming of the constitution. The writing prompt will encourage students to use their own imagination while still using historical information.

These 8 pre-numbered maps and 16 quizzes will save you hours upon hours of creation and make preparation for assessing students on geographic locations effortless. Each has been designed with a numbered map, reproducible answer sheet and teacher’s answer key.

When the class reaches the larger continents such as Europe, Asia, and Africa, it is suggested that the instructor assess the student in sections or regions before assessing them over the entire continent. This will allow students to learn a sections/regions of countries at a time rather than overwhelming students with learning the entire continent at once.

These can be used over and over again throughout the year!
