America's Struggle to Become a Nation Student Textbook
Provides 4th-6th graders a thorough understanding of the foundations of American government!
Many committed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to build the foundations of freedom and faith we have inherited. It is essential for students to understand this crucial period in our nation's history so they can fulfill their duty today, understand how our government is structured, and help preserve our freedom for future generations. Students will:
- Learn about the War of Independence through the Constitution
- Explore the lives of those who dared to oppose the most powerful military on earth
- Discover in-depth character comments, founder's quotes, and poetry from the time period.
American history is so much more than lists of names, dates, and events. It is a colorful panorama of nonstop adventure, set against a backdrop woven out of real events that happened to real people. It is the story of those people with all their hopes, fears, joys, faith, struggles, and triumphs that makes the history of our country such a delight and inspiration for children to learn.
Understanding the roots of the United States of America is key to preserving our freedoms for future generations. As homeschool parents, we have accepted the call to teach our children the principles this great nation are founded upon. More than that, I believe we are called to share the very heart and soul, and the blessings and challenges, which were instrumental in our nation's beginning.
This commendable resource from Master Books will walk you through this great task. From the Founders' desire for freedom against tyranny to the United States Constitution and new republic, the authors take you through an in-depth journey to understand the spirit of this new, great nation. Each chapter explores the men and the events; the guiding scripture and character traits; and the providence of God in the early days of our nation.
The Student Book is well illustrated with photographs, vibrant graphics, detailed maps and "Uncle Rick" story boxes. It would make an excellent library resource whether you chose to make this a one-year history program or a supplement. It also includes a "How to Use" introduction which lays out a 5 or 4-Day lesson guide. While there are no activities included, Charlotte Mason or Unit Study families may find this a valuable resource to incorporate into their daily readings.
Also available is the Teacher Guide, which provides detailed lesson plans for 36 weeks, reproducible, perforated student worksheets and projects, answer keys and quarterly and bonus quizzes. Also included are Patriotic song lyrics, recommended resources and bibliography. Lessons are intended to be 30-45 minutes in length (5 day/week schedule). SC Student Book has 384 pgs and SC Teacher Guide is 3-hole punched and has 141 pgs. Scripture references are from the KJV Bible. Available individually or as package with the teacher and student books. ~ Deanne
