<LINKS to study sites for CLASS-STUDENT ENHANCEMENT>

1.  www.phschool.com -- For Mr. Graves Social Studies classes (9th-10th-11th).  There are sections for Economics and World History, usually 10-20 questions.

A self-test (quiz) appears.  Students can take the test as many times as needed at home or in the HCS computer lab if a home computer is not available.  A great refresher for students, and generates a quiz grade for class.
