Up until now you may have viewed history as old stories in a dusty book, but as we explore our more modern history, you will see how the past 50 years have shaped the country you now know today. The events you will learn about in this mini unit are so recent that you might have already heard of them or have family members that saw them unfold. You will learn about how the nation changed through the rise of terrorism, pulled together after the tragic events of 9/11, recovered after natural disasters and even some accidental disasters, advanced in technology, and even now continues to write its story with the turning of each page and the passing of each day. The history of tomorrow has only begun to be written, and you get to be a part of the story.
What's Included? The full family bundle includes all levels of the workbooks along with the Teacher's Guide. At this time, single student bundles are not available for mini units. 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.
