From wars on communism to wars about equality, this mini unit takes us from 1946–1975. In US History 5, students will learn about America's recovery from World War II, some iconic presidents and the changes that they made, and some major figures in the civil rights movement. MP3 stories coming soon as well for younger audiences! Our unit project for this unit is evaluating media: its impact, biases, unifying power, and pros and cons. Despite polarizing opinions and incredible division, learn about the events that unified a nation and set the course of history.
What's Included? You can purchase a leveled bundle with one student notebook of your choice and the Teacher's Guide, or the full family bundle that includes all levels with the Teacher's Guide. If you have more than one child you are buying for, it is more economical to get the full bundle to re-use in the future with your kids at older levels. All digital bundles come as an instant download in PDF format for you to print at home.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
