Looking online for computer-based social studies lessons for your middle school (or homeschool) students? You’ve found them.

These instantly-downloadable reading passages with questions (and, of course, answer keys) are provided in both digital and printable formats for all seven continents.

The digital format is completely paperless (for use in Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Edge). The included printable format is a print-and-go option. Both formats include the same eight nonfiction passages about the geography and history of each of the seven continents (56 passages altogether for each format). Each brief passage is about 130 words each. Each social studies passage is followed by three text-based questions. Complete answer keys are included.

Each continent includes:

• Digital, computer-based format: In this format, students can type directly into the file and save their answers. Stunning and compelling images are built in. You can see them in the product previews! (PDF, 19 pages)

• Full digital answer key. (PDF, 19 pages)

• Printable format: Each printable passage can stand on its own so you can use one, two, or all eight of them at a time. (PDF, 9 pages)

• Full printable answer key. (PDF, 9 pages)

This will be a flexible and versatile addition to your middle school social studies unit plans! The bundle is available for instant download after purchase as a zip file. (Please be sure you are able to open zip files before purchasing. Refunds cannot be provided for electronic downloads.)
