Publisher's Description of History 8 Lifepac Complete Boxed Set
Wouldn't you like your child to learn history from a biblical perspective? Reinforcing a biblical worldview, the LIFEPAC 8th Grade History & Geography homeschool curriculum integrates a biblical perspective into instruction in six major content strands. These strands, which are covered at most grade levels, include geography, history, government, citizenship, economics, and social studies. LIFEPAC 8th Grade History & Geography presents lessons in ten colorful worktexts. Your homeschooling child will study the complete history of our country beginning with a look at the exploration of the New World, conflict with Britain, the Revolutionary War, and the birth of the United States. Covered topics include Washington's presidency, Jeffersonian democracy, the War of 1812, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, the Wild West, the World Wars, and much more.
Student worktexts in this Alpha Omega curriculum include daily instruction and review as well as ample opportunity for assessment of student performance using self tests and unit tests. To encourage individualized instruction, we also have included a teacher's guide designed to help you guide your student's learning experience according to his specific interests and needs. This essential teaching resource includes teaching notes for each unit, a complete answer key, additional resources, and fun learning activities.
Category Description for Lifepac History & Geography
Complete, easy-to-use curriculum with minimal teacher planning. LIFEPACs are like small worktexts. With ten per grade level, courses seem less intimidating to children. Moreover, many parents have commented that their children respond better to this mastery-learning approach than more free-form coursework, with better retention and understanding. For those yearning for more hands-on activities, use it as a framework to hang those fun, but supplemental, learning experiences on. Depending on your child's learning style and your lifestyle, LIFEPACs may fill the bill for one or several courses per year. It's easy to implement, easy to administer, easy to grade, and largely self-instructional. Grading is simple and consistent and from a Christian perspective. Complete boxed sets include Teacher's Guides with answer keys. For additional students, choose the LIFEPAC only sets.
