This semester course includes five student workbooks and an answer key. Students read content and respond directly on the pages. Topics covered include: Queen Liliuokalani, the Bayonet Constitution, annexation, Japanese immigration, territorial rule, the building of Pearl Harbor, the Spanish-American War, WWI, Americanization, the Organic Act, Prince Kuhio, sugar plantations, pineapples, WWII, Battle of Niihau, Marshal Law, Japanese internment camps, the Red Scare, statehood, tourism, modern military, the Apology Resolution, the Hawaiian language and Pidgin English. The character traits found throughout seem to promote tolerance and acceptance of others' cultures. It's true that there are spelling errors and typos in the series, which is a frustration. It does not, however, seem to change the meaning of questions or answers that I found. ~Sara
