The games, word searches and activities that go with each profile really help to bring understanding to the student as well as make learning about the characters fun.

Along with supplemental resources, we reinforce comprehension with the discussion questions, overview maps, timeline information, and other activities at the end of each biography on different days.

To grow as a country, another group of leaders had to step forward during our history—scientists and inventors. Study those who used their talents and abilities to answer questions that provided better ways of living and working. The lives of these devoted individuals and their contributions will be examined throughout our history, into the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the 20th century. Primary science focus involves Physical Science (such as energy, motion, and work) and the economic impact of each development. Some key figures studied include Ben Franklin, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, the Wright Brothers, and Thomas Edison. This full one-year course is targeted for grades 5-7, but the lessons can easily be adapted for 4th and 8th grades as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"margin-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\nThe following titles are out of print and are no longer included with the packages:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eClassroom Atlas of United States\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRummy Roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nYou may be able to find versions of these titles online or at your local library.

This is a good critical thinking idea. Another quicker and easier way to do this is to find videos on each topic that you think are appropriate and then compare\/contrast them with what our resources have to say about these folks.

They blazed a trail for others to follow. The focus here is on the type of thinking, leadership and skills that were needed to open up the way for others to follow. Primary science focus involves acquiring the basic skills of observation and recording (both drawing and writing), beginning life science through studying the animals and plant life of explored areas, including habitats and the relationship of these factors to the explorers. Some key figures studied: Columbus, the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims, Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 4- 6) The settling of our nation is examined through the lives of leaders who made a difference by standing for their beliefs and making a way for us as a nation to follow and grow. Key events studied - the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Westward Expansion. What does it take to build a nation? Blazing a trail was the first step, building a foundation for growth and government is next. Primary science focus - Earth Science (geology, weather, land forms, climate) and the impact of these factors on settlement. Basic economics and international relationships are also addressed. Some key figures studied include George Washington, Paul Revere, Abigail Adams, Francis Scott Key, Clara Barton, Robert E. Lee, and Abraham Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 5-7) To grow as a country, another group of leaders had to step forward during our history - scientists and inventors. They used their talents and abilities to answer questions that provided better ways of living and working. The lives of these devoted individuals and their contributions will be examined throughout our history, into the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the 20th century. Primary science focus — physical science (such as energy, motion, atoms and molecules) and the geographic and economic impact of each development. Some key figures studied: Ben Franklin, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, the Wright Brothers, and Thomas Edison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the resources necessary to complete \u003cem\u003ePaths of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e?

Along with supplemental resources, we reinforce comprehension with the discussion questions, overview maps, timeline information, and other activities at the end of each biography on different days.

As travelers, we start with the basics of geography such as maps, the compass rose, globe skills, oceans and continents. Learning about early navigation, the sun, stars, planets and constellations take center stage as well as developing the skills of observation and recording. Our literature reveals the hopes, dreams and struggles of Columbus and the importance of staying with what you do best. Using the wildlife handbook we can see the animals and wildlife that Columbus and his crew observed and learn about life aboard ship. You will journey back to a time when dreams of discovery led men to risk all and then watch as they sought to make the most of the opportunities they were given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eColumbus\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/meet-christopher-columbus\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeet Christopher Columbus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eby James T. deKay\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/christopher-columbus\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristopher Columbus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by Bennie Rhodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/realearth-globemap\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRealEarth® GlobeMap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-exploration-3rd-edition-student-notebook-pages?variant=20135137924\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColumbus Student Notebook pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrap-collabsible\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"collapsible2\" class=\"toggle\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"collapsible2\" class=\"lbl-toggle\"\u003eJamestown—Unit 2\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all explorers, the colonists of Jamestown had their hopes and dreams. Leaving the limitations of the Old World behind, these sojourners in the New World found many challenges. This unit highlights the connection between history, geography and science as climate, terrain and culture determine many of the struggles faced by the Jamestown colonists. The clash between the customs of the Old World and the necessities of the New World are played out in the literature through drama and adventure as unknowns as well as famous names play their parts in the story of Jamestown. We see the importance of letter writing and the beauty and power of words to communicate the events and strong emotions tied to this endeavor.

The hope of freedom that was in them was a driving force which led them through many trials and carried them during times of hardship. Our students learn how to give answers and use context to determine meaning, deepening their ability to comprehend and respond to the circumstances of life. History sets a rich feast of people and places as well as habitat and wildlife as the backdrop to the life and death struggle of the Pilgrims. Narrative writing connects their experiences showing the flow of events as well as the importance of cause and effect. Reflecting the articulate speech of the Pilgrims, we learn about the nuts and bolts of words and word meanings as well as the everyday life of a Pilgrim family. Once again we take inspiration from those who have gone before us, who set a course and followed it with all their strength, leaving us a legacy of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003ePilgrims\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Legend of Squanto\" href=\"https:\/\/geomatters.com\/products\/the-legend-of-squanto\"\u003eThe Legend of Squanto\u003c\/a\u003e - Focus on the Family Audio Drama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/stories-of-the-pilgrims\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eStories of the Pilgrims\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by Margaret Pumphrey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/stories-of-the-pilgrims?variant=1261274036\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStories of the Pilgrims Answer Key\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSarah Morton's Day by Kate Waters - Out of Print. \u003cspan\u003eW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eatch read-aloud videos of this book  by searching on youtube.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSamuel Eaton’s Day\u003c\/em\u003e by Kate Waters\u003cspan\u003e — Out of Print.

You will study him and his family not only because of his skill but also because of his love for nature and his determination to lead the way for others to follow. In this unit you will learn about hiking, tracking, maps and communicating when separated by distance or language. All of these skills are studied in the context of the forests of America, including the Appalachian Trail. You will take an in depth look at trees and insects and their connections to other aspects of life in the wilds. Examining these topics also gives you the perfect opportunity to write about them, to explain what you have learned.

Separating detail from the significant, students learn to identify main events as well as to read the intentions of individuals. The journey is completed with a review and reminder of all that has gone before—the successes and struggles, the pain and the joy of lives lived for the purpose of opening our great nation to those millions who would follow from all corners of the earth.

They blazed a trail for others to follow. The focus here is on the type of thinking, leadership and skills that were needed to open up the way for others to follow. Primary science focus involves acquiring the basic skills of observation and recording (both drawing and writing), beginning life science through studying the animals and plant life of explored areas, including habitats and the relationship of these factors to the explorers. Some key figures studied: Columbus, the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims, Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 4- 6) The settling of our nation is examined through the lives of leaders who made a difference by standing for their beliefs and making a way for us as a nation to follow and grow. Key events studied - the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Westward Expansion. What does it take to build a nation? Blazing a trail was the first step, building a foundation for growth and government is next. Primary science focus - Earth Science (geology, weather, land forms, climate) and the impact of these factors on settlement. Basic economics and international relationships are also addressed. Some key figures studied include George Washington, Paul Revere, Abigail Adams, Francis Scott Key, Clara Barton, Robert E. Lee, and Abraham Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 5-7) To grow as a country, another group of leaders had to step forward during our history - scientists and inventors. They used their talents and abilities to answer questions that provided better ways of living and working. The lives of these devoted individuals and their contributions will be examined throughout our history, into the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the 20th century. Primary science focus — physical science (such as energy, motion, atoms and molecules) and the geographic and economic impact of each development. Some key figures studied: Ben Franklin, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, the Wright Brothers, and Thomas Edison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the resources necessary to complete \u003cem\u003ePaths of Exploration\u003c\/em\u003e?

Leaving the limitations of the Old World behind, these sojourners in the New World found many challenges. This unit highlights the connection between history, geography and science as climate, terrain and culture determine many of the struggles faced by the Jamestown colonists. The clash between the customs of the Old World and the necessities of the New World are played out in the literature through drama and adventure as unknowns as well as famous names play their parts in the story of Jamestown. We see the importance of letter writing and the beauty and power of words to communicate the events and strong emotions tied to this endeavor.

The hope of freedom that was in them was a driving force which led them through many trials and carried them during times of hardship. Our students learn how to give answers and use context to determine meaning, deepening their ability to comprehend and respond to the circumstances of life. History sets a rich feast of people and places as well as habitat and wildlife as the backdrop to the life and death struggle of the Pilgrims. Narrative writing connects their experiences showing the flow of events as well as the importance of cause and effect. Reflecting the articulate speech of the Pilgrims, we learn about the nuts and bolts of words and word meanings as well as the everyday life of a Pilgrim family. Once again we take inspiration from those who have gone before us, who set a course and followed it with all their strength, leaving us a legacy of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the Pilgrims unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-exploration-3rd-edition-teachers-guide?variant=19221550020\" title=\"Pilgrims Teacher Manual\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePilgrims \u003c\/em\u003eTeacher Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/geomatters.com\/products\/the-legend-of-squanto\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Legend of Squanto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (Radio Theatre).

You will study him and his family not only because of his skill but also because of his love for nature and his determination to lead the way for others to follow. In this unit you will learn about hiking, tracking, maps and communicating when separated by distance or language. All of these skills are studied in the context of the forests of America, including the Appalachian Trail. You will take an in depth look at trees and insects and their connections to other aspects of life in the wilds. Examining these topics also gives you the perfect opportunity to write about them, to explain what you have learned.

It wasn't too much or too little. My son is not crazy about drawing. But, I have to say, his drawing seemed to get better and better each time. My daughter liked the drawing and we all enjoyed reading the historical fiction stories. My son is pretty independent with his school work and by using \u003ci\u003ePaths of Exploration\u003c\/i\u003e, it allowed us the opportunity to come together with the reading time, discussion, etc. which is something I really enjoyed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—M.

I have [curriculum X] I've tried to use [curriculum Y] and ended up selling them after a few weeks. You have brought together the best elements of all of those and then some and put it together in a way that makes sense and is easy to use.  I know people will want to tweak and add things, especially grammar, but I'm with Dr Beechick and plan to wait until high school for formal grammar instruction. I also love the teaching notes. They provide handholding without being scripted. They help me to understand what my children should be taking away from each lesson and provide opportunities for discussion. Your curriculum is an answer to my prayers.

They blazed a trail for others to follow. The focus here is on the type of thinking, leadership and skills that were needed to open up the way for others to follow. Primary science focus involves acquiring the basic skills of observation and recording (both drawing and writing), beginning life science through studying the animals and plant life of explored areas, including habitats and the relationship of these factors to the explorers. Some key figures studied: Columbus, the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims, Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 4- 6) The settling of our nation is examined through the lives of leaders who made a difference by standing for their beliefs and making a way for us as a nation to follow and grow. Key events studied - the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Westward Expansion. What does it take to build a nation? Blazing a trail was the first step, building a foundation for growth and government is next.

Against the backdrop of the French and Indian War, our literature provides glimpses into everyday life and adventure in the colonies. As we explore common values and behaviors of the time through George Washington’s writings, alongside compelling issues like indentured servitude and cultural differences, students are challenged to discuss and apply concepts within the framework of family ideals. At the same time, since successful colonies were so closely linked to an area’s normal conditions, study of the atmosphere, climate, soil, and weather follows naturally.

But when the British king decided that citizens in America should provide that additional cash, it sparked a lot of anger. So much anger that it eventually led Britain into yet another war—this time with its own colonies! While learning about events surrounding the Revolutionary War, students are challenged to copy and understand the Declaration of Independence and portions of the Constitution. Literature transports us back to this exciting time through the eyes of George Washington, a 12-year old boy, some young patriot soldiers, and an adventurous water molecule. Of course, getting to know this little molecule leads directly to an investigation of atoms, molecules, water, clouds, and storms.

Then, less than 30 years after winning independence, conflict with Britain erupted once again in the War of 1812. But despite that, settlers didn’t give up their hopes and dreams, and pushed ever westward away from the Atlantic coast. Looking back at this huge ocean leads to an exploration of salt water, continents, waves, tides, and sedimentary rocks—as well as unseen things like underwater mountain ranges and volcanoes. Great literature immerses readers in this important time of war, building, and expansion. As students copy verses from “The Star Spangled Banner,” they’re challenged to reflect on its rich imagery and outline its rhyme patterns. Along with continued research and mapping of the Southern and Midwest state regions, a study of Presidents begins in this unit. And as always, regional cooking and period songs, games, and activities add depth and focus to an exciting time in America’s history!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eNation Building\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754131089\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNation Building\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754147537\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNation Building Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e (three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cabin-faced-west\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cabin Faced West\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/justin-morgan-had-a-horse\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eJustin Morgan Had a Horse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/francis-scott-key\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrancis Scott Key\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou will need to print student pages from the included PDF download file.

That was when tensions between the North and South finally boiled over and ignited the Civil War, also called the War Between the States. This unit’s literature introduces Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross, and opens windows into the lives of both ordinary families and great leaders on opposing sides. Students are challenged to think about, compare, and contrast the different points of view at the heart of this epic struggle. Even greater insight is gained from copying and discussing portions of speeches by Abraham Lincoln. Since state research and mapping are centered on the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions, the way is prepared to examine things like weather forecasting, air masses, wind systems, severe storms, and metamorphic rocks. Study of our Presidents continues, along with the fun of regional cooking and period songs, games and projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eHouse Divided\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754131345\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHouse Divided\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754148049\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHouse Divided Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e (three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/robert-e-lee\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert E.

But restoring trust and healing to our deeply wounded nation were slow to happen. Through their reading, students experience pioneer life, follow the adventures of a newly freed slave, and meet Samuel Francis Smith, author of “America.” While copying this favorite patriotic song, they explore its themes, imagery, and rhyme patterns. Investigation of the Presidents continues, and research and mapping of the Southwest and Pacific Coast regions complete this year’s state study. Because of a newly realized need for standardized time, and the unusual features of the west, students are introduced to things like climate and time zones, continental plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, and crystals. Regional cooking, along with period songs, games and activities once again work together to unify the various topics of this action-packed time in our history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"content-inner\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eUnity Restored\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754131537\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnity Restored\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754148561\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUnity Restored Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e (three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/laura-ingalls-wilder-young-pi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaura Ingalls Wilder, Young Pioneer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/janies-freedom\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eJanie’s Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samuel-f-smith\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSamuel Francis Smith\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/good-ol-cowboy-stories\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGood Ol’ Cowboy Stories\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOW OUT OF PRINT.

In addition to that, take them to the library and get whatever books you can find, or use the internet to find as much as they can on the unit topic (Revolutionary War, Civil War, etc.) and as they read their resources, have them compare (tell what is the same as our resources) and contrast (tell what is different from our resources). This is a good critical thinking idea. Another quicker and easier way to do this is to find videos on each topic that you think are appropriate and then compare\/contrast them with what our resources have to say about these folks. Encourage your older students to share the information they find out with you. This is a good thinking\/presenting skill, as well as a way to develop summarizing ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Middle School Supplement is also available to provide guidance for older students.

They blazed a trail for others to follow. The focus here is on the type of thinking, leadership and skills that were needed to open up the way for others to follow. Primary science focus involves acquiring the basic skills of observation and recording (both drawing and writing), beginning life science through studying the animals and plant life of explored areas, including habitats and the relationship of these factors to the explorers. Some key figures studied: Columbus, the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims, Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 4- 6) The settling of our nation is examined through the lives of leaders who made a difference by standing for their beliefs and making a way for us as a nation to follow and grow. Key events studied - the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Westward Expansion. What does it take to build a nation? Blazing a trail was the first step, building a foundation for growth and government is next. Primary science focus - Earth Science (geology, weather, land forms, climate) and the impact of these factors on settlement. Basic economics and international relationships are also addressed. Some key figures studied include George Washington, Paul Revere, Abigail Adams, Francis Scott Key, Clara Barton, Robert E. Lee, and Abraham Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 5-7) To grow as a country, another group of leaders had to step forward during our history - scientists and inventors. They used their talents and abilities to answer questions that provided better ways of living and working. The lives of these devoted individuals and their contributions will be examined throughout our history, into the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the 20th century. Primary science focus — physical science (such as energy, motion, atoms and molecules) and the geographic and economic impact of each development. Some key figures studied: Ben Franklin, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, the Wright Brothers, and Thomas Edison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the resources necessary to complete \u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e?

Against the backdrop of the French and Indian War, our literature provides glimpses into everyday life and adventure in the colonies. As we explore common values and behaviors of the time through George Washington’s writings, alongside compelling issues like indentured servitude and cultural differences, students are challenged to discuss and apply concepts within the framework of family ideals. At the same time, since successful colonies were so closely linked to an area’s normal conditions, study of the atmosphere, climate, soil, and weather follows naturally. Building further on the settlement theme, research and mapping states in the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions is enhanced by learning about igneous rocks, and the fun of regional cooking, great games and hands-on activities!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eGrowing Pains\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754130705\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrowing Pains\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754149329\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrowing Pains\u003c\/em\u003e Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e (three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/abigail-adams\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbigail Adams\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ambush-in-the-wilderness\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmbush in the Wildernes\u003c\/i\u003es\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-courage-of-sarah-noble\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Courage of Sarah Noble\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/matchlock-gun\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Matchlock Gun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrap-collabsible\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" class=\"toggle\" id=\"collapsible2\"\u003e \u003clabel class=\"lbl-toggle\" for=\"collapsible2\"\u003eFreedom Decided—Unit 2\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWars are very expensive to fight, and by the end of the French and Indian War King George needed money. But when the British king decided that citizens in America should provide that additional cash, it sparked a lot of anger. So much anger that it eventually led Britain into yet another war—this time with its own colonies! While learning about events surrounding the Revolutionary War, students are challenged to copy and understand the Declaration of Independence and portions of the Constitution. Literature transports us back to this exciting time through the eyes of George Washington, a 12-year old boy, some young patriot soldiers, and an adventurous water molecule. Of course, getting to know this little molecule leads directly to an investigation of atoms, molecules, water, clouds, and storms. State research and mapping continue through most of the Southern region, along with study of the seasons and rock cycle—all topped off with regional cooking and period songs, games, and activities!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eFreedom Decided\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754130897\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFreedom Decided\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754149585\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFreedom Decided\u003c\/em\u003e Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan\u003e(three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/munford-the-american-revolution\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe American Revolution\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(Munford Adventure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/guns-for-general-washington\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuns for General Washington\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/george-washington\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeorge Washington\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/eve-of-revolution-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Eve of Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrap-collabsible\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" class=\"toggle\" id=\"collapsible3\"\u003e \u003clabel class=\"lbl-toggle\" for=\"collapsible3\"\u003eNation Building—Unit 3\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings were finally settling into routine for the young USA. Then, less than 30 years after winning independence, conflict with Britain erupted once again in the War of 1812. But despite that, settlers didn’t give up their hopes and dreams, and pushed ever westward away from the Atlantic coast. Looking back at this huge ocean leads to an exploration of salt water, continents, waves, tides, and sedimentary rocks—as well as unseen things like underwater mountain ranges and volcanoes. Great literature immerses readers in this important time of war, building, and expansion. As students copy verses from “The Star Spangled Banner,” they’re challenged to reflect on its rich imagery and outline its rhyme patterns. Along with continued research and mapping of the Southern and Midwest state regions, a study of Presidents begins in this unit.

That was when tensions between the North and South finally boiled over and ignited the Civil War, also called the War Between the States. This unit’s literature introduces Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross, and opens windows into the lives of both ordinary families and great leaders on opposing sides. Students are challenged to think about, compare, and contrast the different points of view at the heart of this epic struggle. Even greater insight is gained from copying and discussing portions of speeches by Abraham Lincoln. Since state research and mapping are centered on the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions, the way is prepared to examine things like weather forecasting, air masses, wind systems, severe storms, and metamorphic rocks.

But restoring trust and healing to our deeply wounded nation were slow to happen. Through their reading, students experience pioneer life, follow the adventures of a newly freed slave, and meet Samuel Francis Smith, author of “America.” While copying this favorite patriotic song, they explore its themes, imagery, and rhyme patterns. Investigation of the Presidents continues, and research and mapping of the Southwest and Pacific Coast regions complete this year’s state study. Because of a newly realized need for standardized time, and the unusual features of the west, students are introduced to things like climate and time zones, continental plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, and crystals. Regional cooking, along with period songs, games and activities once again work together to unify the various topics of this action-packed time in our history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"summary\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the core resources, the \u003cem\u003eUnity Restored\u003c\/em\u003e unit uses the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-edition-teacher-guides?variant=34754131537\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnity Restored\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e teacher manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paths-of-settlement-2nd-ed-student-notebook-pages?variant=34754148561\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUnity Restored Student Notebook pages\u003c\/a\u003e (three grade levels in downloadable .pdf format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/laura-ingalls-wilder-young-pi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaura Ingalls Wilder, Young Pioneer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/janies-freedom\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eJanie’s Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samuel-f-smith\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSamuel Francis Smith\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/good-ol-cowboy-stories\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGood Ol’ Cowboy Stories\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eNOW OUT OF PRINT.

In addition to that, take them to the library and get whatever books you can find, or use the internet to find as much as they can on the unit topic (Revolutionary War, Civil War, etc.) and as they read their resources, have them compare (tell what is the same as our resources) and contrast (tell what is different from our resources). This is a good critical thinking idea. Another quicker and easier way to do this is to find videos on each topic that you think are appropriate and then compare\/contrast them with what our resources have to say about these folks. Encourage your older students to share the information they find out with you. This is a good thinking\/presenting skill, as well as a way to develop summarizing ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Middle School Supplement is also available to provide guidance for older students.

They blazed a trail for others to follow. The focus here is on the type of thinking, leadership and skills that were needed to open up the way for others to follow. Primary science focus involves acquiring the basic skills of observation and recording (both drawing and writing), beginning life science through studying the animals and plant life of explored areas, including habitats and the relationship of these factors to the explorers. Some key figures studied: Columbus, the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims, Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 4- 6) The settling of our nation is examined through the lives of leaders who made a difference by standing for their beliefs and making a way for us as a nation to follow and grow. Key events studied - the Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Westward Expansion. What does it take to build a nation? Blazing a trail was the first step, building a foundation for growth and government is next. Primary science focus - Earth Science (geology, weather, land forms, climate) and the impact of these factors on settlement. Basic economics and international relationships are also addressed. Some key figures studied include George Washington, Paul Revere, Abigail Adams, Francis Scott Key, Clara Barton, Robert E. Lee, and Abraham Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaths of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e — (Grades 5-7) To grow as a country, another group of leaders had to step forward during our history - scientists and inventors. They used their talents and abilities to answer questions that provided better ways of living and working. The lives of these devoted individuals and their contributions will be examined throughout our history, into the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the 20th century. Primary science focus — physical science (such as energy, motion, atoms and molecules) and the geographic and economic impact of each development. Some key figures studied: Ben Franklin, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, the Wright Brothers, and Thomas Edison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the resources necessary to complete \u003cem\u003ePaths of Settlement\u003c\/em\u003e?
