Presenting the history of the United States in an interesting and understandable format for upper-elementary students is one of the most challenging tasks an educator can face! In Our Land of Liberty we break our nation's story down in a logical and balanced format which allows the student to learn without being overwhelmed.
In 33 chronological issues resembling small newspapers, Our Land of Liberty presents the history of the United States in a student-friendly, informal style that does not intimidate or repel young readers. Events are seen as living and potentially life-changing experiences from which we can all learn. The people whose experiences and decisions changed our nation also come to life. Their story is told as it happened. Our Land of Liberty is a geographically balanced study that recognizes America's multi-cultural, multi-ethnic heritage and geographical diversity.
Our Land of Liberty works as well at home as in the classroom. It is also excellent for homeschooling or independent study. The unique format makes Our Land of Liberty an outstanding program for students working alone or at their own pace. Each issue includes a versatile collection of student activities, projects, and exercises eliminating the need for additional expenses. The program is supported by an extensive teacher':s manual loaded with helps, activities, maps, copy masters, student responses, and additional testing opportunities.
