Using the Publications

Every weekly publication is hands-on and includes learning activities your students can do right on the publication — vocabulary crosswords, writing prompts, etc.

You can also cut them up for Notebooking or use them to fill in graphic organizers found in your Teacher Edition. For other ideas, see our Integrated Learning blog.

Here are a few graphic organizers to get you started.

Click on each for printable PDFs:

Planning your Week

You can customize how you use the Studies Weekly curriculum to fit the needs of your learners.

Here is one way students can utilize the curriculum:

Monday:

Preview the articles and activities on page 4, looking for content clues. Watch the unit’s related video on Studies Weekly Online, then read the cover article.

Tuesday:

Read the feature article and do an activity with it from the Graphic Organizers listed in the Teacher Edition.

Wednesday:

Finish reading the paper individually, then complete the activities on page 4.

Thursday:

Take the assessment for the unit, printed from the Teacher Edition, or at Studies Weekly Online. Or create a project that shows understanding of the concepts and skills taught.

Using Tests

Every weekly unit includes a test.

As a default, tests are ready and activated. If you don’t need your child to take a test for a weekly unit, just select the publication you are using, find the list of weekly units, then toggle the blue button so it is gray.

Managing Assessments

You have many options with how you use tests. To learn how to customize, assign, and grade tests, visit the How to Manage Assessments in the Knowledge Center.
