Colorful maps, photos and illustrations are used to draw the reader into the fascinating story of our nation. That story is not presented as a list of places, people and dates, but as if it were happening today, where the people and places of the past come to life as if they were with us now. Interactive questions draw the student even further into the text, encourage the student to ask questions, and strive to create “teachable moments” between the student and instructor. Make Our Land of Liberty a part of your 5th grade American history curriculum and prepare to embark on a journey you will ever forget.
