Teacher Guide Sample
Scope and Sequence 

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.

We’ve added new literature, updated the Teacher Guide has new discussion prompts, recipes, and the ‘Rabbit Trails’ have been expanded. Finally, the Timeline has been updated as well.

This homeschool curriculum contains 116 lessons.
Students will complete 3-4 lessons per week for a one-year unit study.

My hope for this study is that the works of literature curated here will help students and their teachers ask themselves the big questions history presents to the serious student.

History is not merely an accumulation of dates, facts, and events, but rather is the story of nations, and communities, of men and women, boys and girls, making their way in the world through the opportunities, setbacks, challenges, and injustices that confront them.

Studying history through first-person accounts provides the opportunity to develop moral imagination–the ability to see and feel things as others see and feel them. History is seldom one-sided but is a multifaceted and nuanced story that can open our minds and hearts to better understand ourselves and even those we consider very different from ourselves.

Studying history from the perspectives of those who were there can better equip us to see and understand the geopolitical events of our own day with wisdom and understanding.” –  author Rea Berg
