Each google document is broken down by the lesson, with each lesson having a minimum of 10 questions for students to answer. Each lesson has the following types of questions: Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank and True or False. 

Also, each section of a lesson is clearly titled as it is in the textbook the students are reading. For example, in lesson seven of unit 2, Geography and the Early Settlement of Egypt, Kush, and Canaan, the first section students read is titled, Introduction, so the Google Document's first section is also titled, Introduction.  Not only is each section of the lesson clearly labeled in the google doc, each question is also labeled with the page # so students can find the answer with greater ease.

Lastly, Each lesson has a vocabulary graphic organizer for the vocabulary given for each lesson. While doing the graphic organizer, students must write the definition of each key term and write the sentence the key term is in in the text. The last section of the graphic organizer is the page number students can find the term on, given already to help all learners find the correct page the term is on.

I created these google documents for TWO primary reasons:

1) As a supplemental resource for my students and for other teachers to use to further their students' mastery of the content for each unit.

2) As a part of my Substitute Lesson Plan, where minimal lesson planning is needed for a substitute teacher to implement an effective lesson. Students only need the necessary reading and this google doc to guide their learning. It's really easy for students and substitute teachers to follow.
