Have you
ever considered America as a unique experiment in freedom? Generations,
America in God’s Providence presents a strong and intentionally
conservative Christian worldview of God’s work in American history. The two-volume
Student Texts with accompanying Student Workbook is an independent, high school
learner option for a 1 or 2 credit American history study. The easy-to-read
student texts covers details of America from Christopher Columbus (1492)
through Post-Christian America (2023). Encouragement to take field trips to
your local and state governmental agencies, interview individuals, and become
involved in your community are an emphasis. This course also pushes students to
understand history as God’s story, that He is still writing!
The two-volume,
full-color, hardcover Student Texts read nicely and are easy to follow.
Vocabulary words are found in bold font; interesting and important information
has been pulled out of the text and is highlighted for prominence; and a
running timeline is presented along the bottom edge of each page. Scripture is
presented in the NKJV throughout. Each chapter begins by centering the student
with scripture and ends with a brief review section with the chapters Key
Terms.
Volume 1 covers Christian history (64 AD) through the Federalist Era (1799)
Volume 2 covers the Constitutional Convention (1787) through Post-Christian
America (2023)
Accompanying
the student texts is the Student Workbook which provides flexible, one- or two-year scheduling
making this a great option for any high school student to succeed. Also
included are convenient weekly breakdowns; chapter worksheets with vocab words,
discussion questions, and Optional Enrichment Projects; 25 quizzes; and 7 Unit
Exams. Answers are provided in the back. Pages are perforated and 3-hole
punched for easy removal and storage. See individual descriptions for more
detailed information. ~Rebecca
