American History for Middle or High School credit FREE

Hello everyone, I hope your day is going fantastic.  Today I am sharing what we are going to be doing for our American History curriculum.

I did have a free course on here from America the Story of Us, which I still am utilizing those videos, but I have taken out the study guides that they use as I find they are not working for my children.   This is just an update from when my daughter had done the course years ago…I find out now that a lot of it was very boring for her:)

This is how we are going to be focusing our time.  It IS a lot of reading and watching videos.  BUT it is a very thorough, and  in-depth American history course.  When they are finished they should have a great understanding about our history and that is my goal.

I chose to read books each week.  I went off reviews on Amazon.  Some of these I might do read alouds so that they don’t get too long and boring.  As I find that those who don’t enjoy reading, will enjoy someone reading to them much more effective.

We also are watching many videos.  The basis is America the Story of us, but I did throw in a lot of documentaries.  I scanned and watched as many of them as I could.  Always use caution when watching:)  For the majority…they seem like appropriate ones.

Some of the book recommendations and videos have links to PDFs that I would recommend printing off if you would like to make sure that your student is gaining a good understanding.

I also include some vocabulary words that will help your student as they are watching the movies as well as expand their vocabularies.

I also have some topics that were not covered in the books or videos but I wanted my children to be aware of the issues so I had them research by online what they mean and write a short page on them.

This will be a very good long year of American History and I feel very confident that when my child does all of this work, they will be very knowledgeable in history.
