A Concise History of the American Republic Year II Teacher Guide
Description
The Teacher Guides include answer keys and tests. Heads-up: the tests, in general, have a fondness for details and the final test for each year require the student to list half of the U.S. Presidents in numerical order.
This full-year course is designed to give students a very good understanding of America's history between the end of Reconstruction (1877) to the Reagan years (1980s). This includes the industrialization of America, the Gilded Age, the settlement of the West, the increase in immigration, the Progressive Era, World War I and its effect on American society, the Great Depression, World War II and its effect on American society, post-war years of prosperity, the Cold War and Communist threat, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and troubles in Southeast Asia, and the beginning of problems in the Middle East. Social, economic, and political issues are addressed throughout the book.
Our Student Guide provides reading notes for each chapter, as well as comprehension questions that help students focus on the most important information from each chapter. The Teacher Guide includes three tests.
A Concise History of the American Republic is a curriculum that addresses political, cultural, and economic aspects of American history. The 800+ page Text is a reader that is divided into 36 chapters. Covering pre-Columbian native American history and cultures briefly, it provides a grand and detailed sweep of American history through the Reagan Era, with chapters tending toward 10-30 year segments. Marked by authoritative scholarship yet written in a narrative style and illustrated with 30 maps and over 250 paintings, cartoons, and photographs, this will be both a challenging and an enjoyable read for the serious student.
The Student Guide is consumable, providing a course outline with worksheets for each chapter broken into the following categories: Introduction, Key Concepts, Comprehension Questions, Essay Questions, and Other Activities. The Quizzes & Tests book helps evaluate student progress and mastery for all 36 chapters. The Teacher Manual includes an introduction, overview, summary, and conclusion for each chapter, with reduced student pages and answers filled in. This course can be used in either a class or homeschool setting, but students will receive the most benefit when there is opportunity for engaging discussion/conversation with a teacher or parent.
Note: This course has transitioned from a 2-year course to a 1-year course. Older edition books, titled “Year 1” and “Year 2” will be available until sold out.
