World History Study Guide.

THIS is sort of interesting. (If you open it, it may take a bit of time to load. It's a large file.) It's a "note-taking guide" for a common public school world history book. The book can be found HERE, listing as used starting at $8.65.

Or, for a different version, THIS is a note-taking guide for THIS BOOK which is listing used starting at $38.45. (Ouch.) If you click on the chapter links, you are taken to a page that gives the chapter note-taking guide, but also something called "concept connector worksheets," which may spark essay assignment ideas. (Also, FYI the note-taking guides for this book include section summaries which, even without the textbook, can provide good review/study materials.)

I'm not necessarily saying, "Quick! Run out and buy one of these books and then download the study guide!" because, frankly, I would imagine the ink cost of printing out the guide would be quite substantial. However, if you have a student who is very new to self-directed learning and is struggling with what to write in the study journals, this sort of thing may be a way to ease into how to take notes from written materials, and much of the world history studies carries over to the Western Civilization exams, and also the Social Sciences & History exam.

Oh, and one more thought: If you think you may *ever* find a use for these files, download them now and save them somewhere. There really is no telling how long they'll be available.
