We had a great time using this resources to both introduce and review the transcontinental railway and westward expansion. Loved that they knew if they got the answer correct immediately.

I used this with my 8th grade US History class. I was able to embed it in the Canvas classroom. The kids were able to go at their own pace. It is a great resource and I highly recommended it.

This resource was perfect to provide background knowledge on Westward Expansion. My students like to use their chromebooks so my kiddos loved that it was digital. The text were easy enough for all levels in my class and they loved the immediate feedback.

My students really enjoyed this activity. It was informative and fun. I liked that I could assign it to both my in-person students and my remote students without a lot of editing or changes.

This product enhanced my Social Studies curriculum very well. The students enjoyed first predicting and recording their answer choices on an answer sheet that I created, and then clicking their choice to learn if they were correct.
