7 It consists of detailed lesson plans for each chapter. The lesson plans include presentation steps, major points and supporting information. Each chapter also includes several objectives with descriptive verbs that should be easily verifiable and measurable. Additionally, this guide contains a sample test for each chapter. The sample tests present multiple choice and true/false questions that could be used on a test. The sample tests are located at the end of each chapter. Finally, this teacher s guide includes national standards.

8 These are academic content standards that describe what every student should know and be able to do in the core academic areas ( , mathematics, science, English language arts, and social studies). These standards are criteria for judging quality and are important resources for providing a framework for curriculum design as well as criteria for school accountability.
