Product description
<p>Are you looking for a U.S. history curriculum for your high school student that is complete and easy to use? <i>Exploring America</i> is a one-year course centered in God's Word that equips your student to better understand our country and his or her place in it.</p><br/><p>Author Ray Notgrass designed the curriculum for students to use successfully anytime in high school--9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade. It combines the flexibility and richness of a literature-based unit study approach with the simplicity of a textbook-based approach.</p><br/><p>Daily lessons guide your student chronologically through the history of the United States, highlighting key events, people, and places. With the lessons already planned, your student can use the curriculum independently.</p><br/><p>If you use the course as written, your student can earn one year of credit in three high school subjects: American History, English, and Bible. However, the course is flexible, so you can adjust the assignments as needed to fit your student's schedule and needs.</p><ul>* The American History credit involves reading the lessons and the original documents and speeches, and answering the questions in the optional Student Review Pack if desired.</ul><ul>* The English credit involves completing several writing assignments, including one research paper; reading the poems and short stories in American Voices; and reading the assigned literature.</ul><ul>* The Bible credit involves reading the Bible lessons, completing the Bible assignments at the end of many lessons, and reading the hymns and other religious literature in American Voices.</ul><br/><p>The curriculum assigns twelve literature titles that coordinate with the lessons and enhance your student's understanding of each time period. You can also order an optional Student Review Pack.</p><br/><p>Visit the Notgrass History website to watch a video overview, see sample lessons, and read what parents are saying.</p>
