Description
Easily teach your primary students about life in the past with this no-fluff Social Studies mini-unit. Informative student booklets, engaging review activities and hands-on/digital sorts are sure to delight your students! Comparing the past and the present has never been easier.
In light of the COVID-19 crisis, I have created a digital version of this resource. Please download the latest version of the product to access the Google Slides™ link.
Please Note: Not all pages are suited for distance learning, and have thus been omitted from digital versions.
***The digital version of this product will be listed separately beginning July 2020.***
