SOS Connecticut 2006 R2

For each of the 50 states, topics include state government and leaders, a historical timeline, state growth and population, natural resources, economics and business, tourism and cultural distinctions, and Christian heritage and influence. Instead of rote memorization of facts, students use critical thinking and research skills as they prepare essays. This makes State History an excellent program for enhancing writing skills, applying math skills and learning about business and resources. Appropriate for grades 7-12.

New and improved features for the 2006 Switched-On Schoolhouse R2s include:

• Game customization features give teachers the ability to allow or deny student access to any of the games.
• Seperate test and quiz options allow teachers to determine how tests and quizzes are administered; now preferences for these assignments can be set independantly.
