America's Story Volume 1 introduces students to the beginnings of our country and connects children to America's past through a Charlotte Mason style approach. Students will learn about the Founding Fathers and the events of early colonial America through the Gold Rush. Full-color pages feature archival illustrations, maps, photographs and more. Chapters begin with a spotlight starting point which flows into an engaging, conversational text that explains history as if a story was being told. Chapters also feature questions, a "narration break" narration question, cultural connections, and thoughts to remember at the conclusion.
The America's Story Teacher's Guide covers 36 weeks of instruction for the textbook and provides parents with a weekly lesson schedule, list of materials required for each chapter, oral narration questions and answers, directed journaling/artwork/sketching/study sections, map adventures, optional Digging Deeper sections, and more. Pages are grouped by type, rather than by lesson, so parents can easily remove tests and answer keys.
