US History Worksheets Bundle

About this resource

Four US history units, one download. Causes of the American Revolution, the New England colonies, Shays' Rebellion and the Great Depression each come as a complete set of student pages with a "My name" line, one short instruction and real room to write, plus answer keys and the record-keeping around them. Grades 6-8, plain wording, short readings.

Built For The Student Holding The Page

The student pages carry a big "My name" line and one short instruction, with room to write. Nothing on a student page is written for an adult: the keys and records are on separate teacher pages. Sources marked "invented" or "paraphrase" are written for these pages and are not quotations. Every set prints clean in black and white.

Who Is It For

Middle school social studies teachers, special education and resource room teachers, co-teachers, interventionists and homeschool families who want ready-to-use US history practice with plain wording and room to work.

Type In, Or Print

Each of the 4 files is a fillable PDF: click a line, box or grid square, type, then save one copy per student. You can also print any page and write by hand. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is not Google Slides, not Google Docs and not PowerPoint. Printing supplies are not included.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A set of history practice pages with the record-keeping around them. It is not a timed test, a screener or a clinical tool, and it makes no claim about any student's age or rate of progress. There is no IEP goal language or eligibility wording in the files. No claim of alignment to any one state's standards; check the wording against your own textbook.
