US History 4 is such an important unit! In this mini unit, students will be learning about a tumultuous time in history when nothing was certain, World War I was raging, money was tight, and resources were spread thin. They will see how the relatively new country of the United States stepped onto the world stage and became known as a world power. You will see lines drawn in the sand causing great divisions and yet incredible alliances and unity as people worked together for one common goal. Through hardship and difficulty, the nation of the United States of America cut her teeth, and set in motion steps that would forever alter her story.
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil-bound.
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.
