History

Each US Constitution and Government Course Set includes one copy of the US Constitution and Government Course Book and one copy of Mystery on Constitution Island. To complete the course, each student grades 4–8 will also need their own copy of the consumable US Constitution and Government Student Journal. An optional set of 6 colored, erasable pens is also available to add fun and color as children complete their Student Journal. The optional US Constitution and Government Activity Book can also be added for children grades K–3.

Containing the lessons, the 184-page full-color course book directs the teacher or parent when to use the other two components. It also includes the activities, pages to cut out, and the mini books. Additionally, History Case Files are included in the course book to walk students through how to critically think about bias, truth, facts, and primary sources. Access to short audio biographies that provide inspirational accounts of the lives of important men and women during the framing of the Constitution and constitutional amendments are also included in the course book purchase.

An exciting adventure story written just for this course and incorporated into lessons, Mystery on Constitution Island is a unique and fun way to learn about the Constitution. Purchase of this book also comes with access to a free audiobook version. 151 pages

Each student needs a copy of the 85-page US Constitution Student Journal. The student journal incorporates the full text of the founding documents and original coloring and activity pages. Each student will complete his or her own student journal, which will serve as a treasured keepsake when the course is finished.

This optional activity book for grades K–3 allows for younger students to join in and learn along with their older siblings. The 38-page Activity Book is not integrated into the course, nor does it follow the scope and sequence of the course. It simply has fun activities about colonial times and Founding Fathers for younger children to enjoy.

Completing the Student Journal is even more fun, colorful, and creative with this set of six erasable colored pens! Comes with a red, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, and black pen that all have an eraser and The Good and the Beautiful logo. We highly suggest a set for each student.
