Written by nationally-recognized experts with extensive experience in the field of social studies testing, Mastering the Ohio Graduation Test In Social Studies uses clear, insightful explanations and an interactive format to help prepare students for the challenging Ohio Graduation Test in Social Studies. The book is divided into three units.
UNIT 1
The opening unit provides some important tools for helping students master social studies skills and perform their best on the OGT, including how to analyze the kind of data students will find on the test, such as maps, charts, timelines, diagrams, and graphs. Another chapter explores short-answer and extended-response questions with many important hints on how to best answer these questions.
UNIT 2
This unit provides a review of all the tested benchmarks, including history, geography, people in society, economics, government, citizenship rights and responsibilities, and social studies skills and methods. This part of the book presents a complete refresher course of all of the content tested in a concise, easy-to-manage format.
★▋Each content chapter begins with a chapter opener, alerting students to the most important material covered in the chapter.
