Social Studies/History

As a freelancer, I've written a wide variety of materials for primary, middle, and high school social studies/history programs. Projects include programs focusing on American history, world history, world cultures, geography, and contemporary American social and political issues. I am familiar with the national history, geography, and civics standards.
