Description
Publisher's Description of Land of Hope: Young Reader's Edition, Volume 2 Teacher Guide
This Teacher’s Guide to the Young Reader’s Edition of Wilfred McClay’s Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story is an invaluable supplemental resource for teachers who use the Young Reader’s edition as a textbook for middle-grade courses in US History. Prepared by McClay in collaboration with John McBride, a master teacher with more than thirty years of secondary and collegiate teaching experience, it is an exceptionally rich and useful tool for classroom instructors.
Each chapter of this Teacher’s Guide receives a five-part treatment: a short summation of the chapter’s contents, questions and answers about the chapter, a list of key names and terms appearing within the chapter, a crossword puzzle based on those names and terms, and one or more primary source documents for class analysis with accompanying questions and answers. Longer documents are broken into shorter passages with questions interspersed to help younger readers. This Teacher’s Guide also features a collection of map exercises as well as special units to assist instructors in teaching students about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the two-party system.
Category Description for Young Reader's Edition Land of Hope
This two-volume Young Reader’s Edition Land of Hope Text was written by Hillsdale College faculty member, Wilfred McClay, who’s passion for passing an accurate version of American history on to the next generation is evident. In a day when misinformation is everywhere, he takes a balanced approach. Delving into the struggles of our past, great accomplishments are celebrated –giving students many reasons to love and be proud of their country. But America’s faults (such as slavery) are also acknowledged, helping us learn important lessons from our past. Although intended for 5th-8th grade students, these books are not an “easy read” and will be difficult for some at that level. They do make wonderful family read-alouds and a perfect history “spine” for adding onto, with other books & activities to bring the text to life. Volume 1 is focused on the shaping of a new nation, from 1492 -1877, and the people, ideas, and events that played a part. Volume 2 focuses on the making of modern America, from 1877- 2020. Textbooks are high quality with reinforced soft covers and a center section filled with glossy pictures to provide rich visual context for readers.
Beautiful, thick Volume 1 & 2 Student Workbooks correlate (chapter by chapter) with textbooks, allowing students to process and understand the readings on a deeper level. My favorite workbook feature is the alignment of primary source documents for each chapter, bringing voices from the past alive for the students through songs, letters, documents, and more. Answers to student questions & activities are found in the Volume 1 & 2 Teacher Guides which parallel student pages exactly with answers filled in on each page. Additional teacher tips encourage tailoring workbook resources to best fit a teacher’s classroom or individual setting. ~Nancie
