More About United States History: Exploration to the Present Day Homeschool Curriculum

Whether homeschool high school students are reading about American history, doing an activity, researching on their own, or reading one of the fun historical fiction books from this history course along the way, they will see God’s plan for the United States unfold—and He still has a plan for the future. That plan includes people—some famous and others not as easily recognized. There is much to learn from these people of the past, from their strengths and weaknesses, where they relied on the Lord and where they relied on themselves instead, and from their failures as well as their successes.

Throughout this United States homeschool history course, high school students write papers, take notes, and answer questions. The course suggests that students keep a binder with some paper in it to take notes from things read and to write answers to questions.
