I wanted to share some of the files that are used in class. If you need a copy of the items, please feel free to download. The chapter packets are reprinted from McGraw-Hill. Discovering Our Past: A History of the United States (2013) is the textbook for 8th Grade but we only have enough for classroom copies which is why the chapters are reprinted for the students use. Also, students are able to write, highlight, underline, etc. throughout the packets whereas they would be unable to in the book.
