Introduction
Use and implementation of the activities contained in the spring packet are optional and
voluntary. Activities were selected based on traditionally difficult areas of student skill
mastery while at the same time providing worthwhile practice with historical inquiry.
Topics were chosen based on Next Generation Sunshine State Standards benchmarks
tested on the Florida United States History End-Of-Course assessment.
Purpose of the Spring Packet
The activities in the spring packet were selected to allow students to experience some
fun with history over the spring break while simultaneously supporting practice with

This method of home-school academic connection serves to maintain acquired skills
while students are enjoying their spring break.
Activities in this packet are identified by Next Generation Sunshine State Standards
specifically targeted to grade level expectations for the students. Each activity has been
selected due to its high level of engagement and interest. Background information is
