Notgrass Company Exploring America: History, Literature, and Faith--Curriculum Package, Second Edition
A comprehensive curriculum that reflects the multiple facets of the United States! Help your students appreciate the richness of American history through the words and experiences of those who lived it. Removing the cut-and-dry, past-tense monotony that so many textbooks convey, Exploring America lets the people that experienced history, tell it-with all the uncertainty, hopes and fears of humanity. The importance of faith is highlighted, from the faith that inspired the Pilgrims to the Abolitionists during the Civil War, challenging students to see the word of God behind the culture. Sidebar notes often give unique biographical sketches, notes on what was occurring simultaneously around the world, and additional historical background.The Scarlet Letter Narrative: The Life of Davy Crockett by Crockett Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Uncle Tom's Cabin Co.

My 15 year old son loved this curriculum. Mr. Notgrass proved himself to be a Christian author throughout the book and very knowledgable in every topic. His picks for the living books that went along with the topics made history more real and that is what brought my son to love doing history and did not find it boring or dry reading. He knew that what he was studying in his history curriculum would be brought to life in the living books later. Great Curriculum, Great Author.

Awesome curriculum! Our schools should use it. I love how the Literature and Bible are woven in to make a complete 3 subject curriculum.
