Publisher's Description of History 5 Lifepac - Unit 9 Worktext
Encourage your child's natural curiosity about America's history near the end of the millennium with the LIFEPAC 5th Grade History & Geography Unit 9 Worktext from Alpha Omega Publications. Student-directed, engaging lessons cover the facts about Watergate, de`tente and economic problems, the fall of Communism, and the Persian Gulf War from a Christian perspective. This ninth in a series of ten worktexts can easily be completed in just three to four weeks and will develop your child's accurate understanding of historic events.
The LIFEPAC 5th Grade History & Geography Unit 9 Worktext takes the challenge out of understanding history. How is this done? This Alpha Omega curriculum encourages your child to learn independently by taking him step-by-step through the lessons. First, he reads an interesting introduction to history, followed by a list of objectives and key vocabulary words. Then as your child goes through each lesson, he answers review questions and participates in hands-on activities that keep him learning. He can also take self tests. Lastly, you administer a final unit test. All of these components work together to encourage your child's success in history.
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.
