Humanities Comp. Preparation Packets:
This packet contains a practice section for all of the sections except U.S. history/government and materials to help with the job application, the business letter, the essay and extensive materials for the history section. It doesn't make sense for students to do more than one practice section without having the first one checked by a teacher so that the next one can reflect what the student has learned from that first one. Therefore, while we have many more practice sheets for each section, we won't give another to students until they come to us with the first one completed. The history review material is included in the full study packet, but it is also broken out below if that's all you need. Students studying for the history section will find the first page of the Constitutional Flow chart handy, especially if they tend to be more visual. It has to be a separate document because it's laid out in landscape.
