American History Research Questions

Here you will find 38 research cards that are designed to develop critical thinking and analysis skills.


Each card may be used as an accompaniment to our Timeline of American History (TL-029) or as standalone research questions. Each card is built to introduce major concepts in U.S. History and provide a connection of those facts to modern events. Through research and analysis, students are able to understand the relationship between historical events and the consequences that are often the result of either well planned or foolish decisions.  


Open ended questions provide ample opportunities for group discussions and explorations.
