Description
*Note This pack does NOT include A Child's First Book of American History.
This updated and expanded edition now covers a wider historical time period with new literature. Students will not only learn about the Civil War, Reconstruction, the turn of the century, both World Wars, Civil Rights, Korean War, Vietnam War, and contemporary America, they will also cover the Dust Bowl, the suffrage movement, and 9/11.
Additional historical background, Rabbit Trails (featuring book recommendations by section), and a customer-favorite in the Historic Table featuring historical recipes, this redesigned teacher guide will help parents easily reference resources to make teaching the course even more enjoyable.
The changes that came about in the twentieth century were unprecedented in history. From the very first global conflict to the development of the atomic bomb, modernization took on a pace that rapidly changed towns, cities, and individuals around the world. The resistance to tyranny in both worlds wars, in the civil rights movement, the Cold War, 9/11, and the war on terror, called forth heroism, sacrifice, and determination in men, women, and young people of good will to resist these forces. The struggle for equality, justice, and basic human rights continues today.
This is the perfect follow-up to those who have already completed our Early American Intermediate course.
This curriculum uses the second-half of A Child's First Book of American History by Earl Schenck Miers as well as a host of new and classic literature.
