1. Lesson Tips: I go through about 2 pages per day with my students copying the notes before our state test. However, you can also print this powerpoint for them. If you print slides 2-35 in handout mode with 2 slides per page, it will come out like the blank notes packet but filled in. (This is why there are maps on slides 2-3). All text in this powerpoint can be edited as well. If you would like an editable word document rather than the PDF, please just contact me through the store! Thank you! Thank you for purchasing this product! It has helped my classes improve so much in preparation for our state tests. I am confident that you will see a similar increase in comprehension! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Students-Of-History
