It is NEVER too early to teach students how to conduct research. This is one of the fundamental skills required of 21st century learners in higher education!

Consider purchasing this bundle of four 25-question assignments that you can use as a set of daily activities, a set of bell ringer assignments, or as a single research assignment. There are 100 questions to use in your classroom. All answers are included.

You will find questions related to Ancient History, American History, World History, World Geography, Economics, Government, and more! 

I have used these assignments in my classroom, and I have found that my middle school students enjoy it. You might also try to use them in higher level elementary classrooms (5th and 6th grades).

This zip file contains the assignment in TWO formats: (1) PDF file and (2) Microsoft Word document.

Please find each 25-question assignment and an answer key for easy grading in this zip file.

Here are a few sample questions: 

"Because of its wealthy deposits of gold, this West African nation was once named the Gold Coast. What is its modern-day name?"

The answer is Ghana.
