US History EOC Review Activity Eras Picture Sort STAAR 11th Test Prep Hands-On

US History EOC review doesn't have to be worksheets! This hands-on review has students sorting key images into key eras of US History. Perfect for US History EOC/STAAR review for 11th grade.

Get your students discussing each era with this picture sort.

How does it work?

• There are 2 EDITABLE versions included. Version 1 = no labels. I use this with 95% of my students. Version 2 has labels for most images (except for ones that already have a title). I use this one with my struggling learners.
• Pick the version you want to use and copy one set per group of students. I usually do groups of 3 or 4 for this activity.
• Cut the images up (get help from NHS or student council students who need volunteer hours) and place in a baggie. One baggie per group.
• Students pull out the title cards first (era names), then sort the 6 images under that era.
• Helpful hint: Copy each group set off on a different color of card stock. If a student drops a card, you can quickly put it back in the correct bag.

What is included:

• Everything is EDITABLE in PowerPoint. Swap out an image or rename anything you might need to!
• 2 versions of the activity (one with labels, one without)
• Optional formative assessment: students work either individually or in groups to write a summary of an era using the images.
