Newly updated with all new learning objectives, rewritten
chapters, and relevant discussion questions, and covering pre-Columbian America
through the Biden administration, the BJU Press United States History 6th
Ed. presents high school students with a biblical worldview of American
history. This new text has clear learning objectives for every chapter and
assessments that are based on these objectives to gauge students’
comprehension. Throughout the colorful and engaging Student Text,
students analyze primary and secondary sources through different historians’
viewpoints and writings/quotes from Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, Abraham
Lincoln, Sitting Bull, Booker T. Washington, George W. Bush, and many others.
The consumable Student Activity Book connects the
reading to effective application in students’ lives today. There are many
writing prompts, games, and review questions (both in the textbook and in the
Activity Book), leaving students plenty of opportunities to apply what they are
learning in a variety of ways. This resource is consumable and
non-reproducible. All answers to the Activity Book are found in a separate Activity
Book Answer Key.
The Assessment Booklet contains the 25 chapter tests.
Test questions assess comprehension and evaluate critical thinking skills
through a variety of question types. The Assessment Answer Key is sold
separately.
Coming alongside your student with the 2-Volume Teacher
Edition equips you to participate in discussion and guide learning to meet
learning objectives. Providing you with thorough and correct answers for
student questions from the textbook and guidance on how to accommodate your
learner, the Teacher Edition books will help you engage, instruct, apply, and
assess. This course links multiple subjects into the study of American History.
ELA skills are worked through the many literature suggestions found throughout.
Students are even presented with math problems that relate to history and work
through these problems with hands-on activities. Everything is presented
through a strong biblical worldview lens. A primary objective of the BJU Press
6th Edition U.S. History is that students see God’s hand in this
nation’s history. Because of the overarching changes and additions, this
edition is not compatible with previous editions. ~Rebecca
