U.S. History EOC Speedrun: 1877 to Today STAAR Review (8 Era Stations)

Test prep unit · Grades 8–11 · PowerPoint (38 slides) + PDF (26 pages), ZIP · $9

Cover 150 years of U.S. History in one high-energy review. Each of the 8 stations pairs a one-page Era Card with a five-question STAAR-style challenge. The Era Cards cover the big idea, key events, key people, must-know vocabulary and a Texas connection. Students log their scores and stars on a Speedrun Passport as they go.

The pack also includes a 16-card timeline sort, a Who Am I? people round, cause-and-effect chains and a 10-question Boss Round. The Boss Round uses public-domain presidential quotes and a data table, the way the real test does.

The 38-slide deck gives every era its own neon splash screen and a need-to-know slide. It also has whiteboard speed rounds with answer reveals, a Texas Connections slide and a Boss Round finale.
