Making history engaging for students is possibly one of the most difficult tasks for teachers.  How do we overcome that?  Two key things are critical for accomplishing this task.  First, it must be relatable in someway, and secondly, it needs to offer learning opportunities for multiple learning styles.  Girls of American History uses the popular American Girl book series.  This instantly makes history relatable, as the main characters are school age children, families and strong male characters. 

Girls of American History uses multisensory learning, which follows a pattern of Do It, Write It, Say It, Read It, See It.  Multisensory learning is great for every kind of learner - because each learner gets to experience learning the way they are most comfortable - but they also have the opportunity to learn through other senses.  Studies and research have shown that learning material through multiple senses helps children to retain information better.

The experiences practiced in multisensory learning allow each student to participate in ways that help them understand and retain best. Boys and girls learn together and help each other with projects such as growing a garden, having discussions about the story, historical information, geography, as well as positive character traits such as courage, selflessness, etc.  

Schooling multiple ages together, in a co-op setting for example, is very manaegable.  And, with the continuity of the same subject matter for literature and history, as well as crafts and field trip experiences, opportunities for discussion are plentiful and help build a love of learning.

This set includes three, six week unit studies using the American Girl® Maryellen®, Melody® and Nenea® series books.  This curriculum is also great for doing school with an additional family or two.   This curriculum is great for doing school in a large class setting,  or a smaller co-op environment.  Weekly activities and suggested field trips are included. Invite parents and family members at the end of the unit for an end of unit celebration of your own!

The required readers for these units are part of the Beforever series of the American Girl® book series.  The first two books for each girl are all that are required for the units.  However, a third "choose your own adventure" book has been created for each girl, making a three book set for each of the girls in these units.

Follow three young girls on a journey through time.  Watch as our country, government and culture change and how that affects life in the different time periods and how these girls discovered more about themselves and the world they live in.

1954 - Life in the 1950's
