Student Reader - The hardback reader is composed of weekly lessons divided into three sections:
- Atmosphere (of the event)
- Event
- Impact
The text is meant to be used in conjunction with the activity book - which contains the pages that are to be filled in WHILE the student is reading or the teacher is discussing each lesson. This activity book also includes a review for each week, pictures to cut out and place in the appropriate slot, and maps to be filled in.
Designed to be engaging and written in a comfortable style, All American History reads like a good book -- bringing America 's story to life piece by piece.
Containing hundreds of images and dozens of maps, All-American History Volume I is a complete year's curriculum for students in grades 5 - 9 when combined with the Student Activity Book and Teacher's Guide. It is also adaptable for younger and older students. The first volume covers Exploration through 1840.
Each week includes a chapter from the Reader, maps, forms, and reviewquestions in the Activity Book, and plenty of hands-on and further research ideas in the Teacher Guide. (As well as great teaching tips, ANSWERS to everything, and a great book list!) The teacher book also provides additional hands-on and further research ideas for the younger students you may use this with. There are 32 weekly lessons, and each lesson contains three sections examining: the atmosphere in which the event occurred the event itself the impact this event had on the future of America. Hardcover Grades 5 - 9
