American Government in Christian Perspective Student Textbook
This one-semester course covers the 3 branches of government and what is expected of us as citizens from a biblical standpoint. It clearly depicts the Constitution and Bill of Rights and the goal of limited government that the Founding Fathers intended for our country. Throughout the text, students also read about honorable Americans and complete section and chapter reviews to aid in retention. Illustrations and graphs are included to help explain government procedures. Answers to the section and chapter reviews are in a separate key.
Show your child the firm Christian foundation that the United States was founded upon through the one-semester study of American Government. With a detailed presentation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, your child will be able to see the emphasis on limited government that was intended by the Founding Fathers. Clearly display the 3 branches of government along with the responsibilities that citizens have to the government. Complete with section and chapter reviews, profiles on great Americans, and over 150 pictures and graphs to explain government processes and procedures, your child will see how the United States' government allows her citizens the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
History is important. As children learn about past events and how such things relate to current issues, it helps them to understand societies and become better citizens. Abeka's history courses present history from a biblical perspective with a conservative, patriotic view. As students study our country, the world, as well as forms of government and citizenship, they develop a deeper understanding of history and learn about heroes showing bravery, courage, and diligence. Geography is also interwoven into the lessons, so students can make connections to the history they are studying (some grade levels have a separate workbook and answer key for map activities).
Taking a traditional approach, softcover Student Textbooks are in full color and written in an understandable format for each age group. Tests and quizzes are available to provide assessments. Grades 1-4 pivot toward the study of America and geography, giving students a solid foundation of American history and the great people who have helped shape our country in a positive manner. Grades 5-8 go into more detail about both world and American history along with geography, as students learn about the Eastern Hemisphere in grade 5 and the Western Hemisphere in grade 6. Grade 7 is an overview of world history and grade 8 is a United States history course. High school courses cover geography, world history, US history, American government, and economics.
There are several components to aid in the teaching of these courses. Teacher Editions have reduced-sized student pages, along with comprehension or discussion questions and detailed information on teaching the lesson. Curriculum Lesson Plans are (lesson plan) guides for the teacher and include enrichment activities. Answer Keys to the student textbook provide answers to Section and Chapter Review questions. Several resources are also available for grades 4-8 as support materials: My State Notebook (grade 4), Nation Notebook (grades 4-6), Nifty-Fifty Flashcards (grades 4-8), and Eastern (grades 5-8) and Western (grades 6-8) Hemisphere Map Skill Cards. Novels and biographies are suggested as additional reading material in certain grade levels.
Abeka provides a solid, grade leveled study of history that incorporates a biblical view with a focus on American patriotism. Students will see God's hand in history and benefit from learning about past events so they can impact the future in a useful way.
