Self Government
Primary Level
(1st or 2nd grade)

Primary level students begin their mastery of His Story by learning that the heart is the key to self government. Building on this understanding, students trace the principles and practice of self government throughout history, focusing on Christ, the center of history and the One who made the way for individual, Christian self government. They follow the westward movement of the gospel to Europe, the Word of God becoming available to the English people, and the subsequent discovery and colonization in North America, where the principle of individual self government became the foundation for local self governing cities, states, and our nation.

The Teacher's Guide provides ready-to-use lessons focused on leading ideas. Students are not expected to memorize information. Rather, their hearts and minds are challenged as they recognize the truths of history and their application to men and nations today.

Using Reflection and Reasoning questions provided in the Teacher's Guide, the parent or educator leads student discussion concerning cause and effect relationships, providential events, rich examples of character and conscience, and consistent Biblical thinking.

Cultivating Student Mastery questions encourage the students to record the main ideas in writing, with grade-level appropriate emphasis.

Student Activity Pages, incorporating full-color, original illustrations from the student text, provide a variety of written work, including maps, coloring pages, and charts which the students will use to compile their own, personalized, individual notebook.

 Liberty and Justice for All
Elementary Level
(2nd or 3rd grade)

Realizing that history is God's Story, and that liberty is a gift from God, students trace the foundations and development of liberty, originating with the author of liberty, God Himself. Students learn about significant events over the course of history, with particular attention to the growth of liberty during America's colonial, revolutionary, constitutional, and pioneer periods. The final chapters highlight the Statue of Liberty, exploring Antarctica and the Arctic, and the Pledge of Allegiance.

The user-friendly Teacher's Guide provides everything you need to bring history to life for your student: background material to enrich your understanding, discussion questions to encourage reflection and reasoning, suggested student notes, student mastery questions, and a wonderful variety of full-color student activity pages.

As students read, discuss, and record, they build their understanding and appreciation for the birth of liberty in the heart of the individual, in homes and churches, and eventually our nation. The heroes of liberty come to life as they read engaging narrative and consider the sacrifices of our forefathers as they struggled for liberty -- before and after Christ, in the days of first-century Christianity, in the lives of the Bible translators, and particularly in the discovery, colonizatiation, and establishment of a nation with liberty and justice for all.

Following the account of North America's exploration and colonization, considerable attention is given to divine providence and the American Revolution. Students continue their study with the remarkable period of invention and westward expansion, the World Wars, and a look at our motto, "In God We Trust."

The Teacher's Guide gives a wealth of resource material for both teacher and student. Well-organized Reflection and Reasoning questions enable the parent or educator to present leading ideas that will transform their student's thinking. The charts, diagrams, suggested student notes, maps, full-color activity pages, and student mastery questions, support a well-organized presentation of both information and thoughtful reflection which leads to mastery and an appreciation of God's hand in history.
