World History Detective® Book 1

"World History Detective can be utilized as a standards-based, stand-alone textbook, as supplemental activities to enhance another textbook, or as a review course for older students. Students start by analyzing a lesson, then apply critical thinking skills to respond to multiple-choice and short essay questions. They conclude by supporting their answers with evidence acquired from the lesson. The book contains geographical maps, timelines, and concept maps, all aimed at developing critical thinking skills in lessons that explore the influence of technology, power, institutions, ideas, and trade on historical events.

Teaching support materials include introductions for both teachers and students, a historical topics list, a lesson on evidence identification, answer keys, and alignment with grade level standards.
