As many of you know I have been an advocate for making Social Studies, and in particular history, a more active and engaging learning process for students. I have been following the Mission US Series for some time and am incredibly impressed by the content and learning quality of this program. I would probably recommend this mostly for 4-5 Grades, yet there is definitely possibility to make this a more advance 7 grade US History piece as well. The resources and teachers guides are high quality and well sourced.
Right now there are 3 developed missions. The first involves the Revolutionary War, the 2nd Mission is about the Underground Railroad, and the 3rd is brand new and involves the Native groups of the Plains.
Please give this program a try. Better yet, if you are WNY teacher contact me and I will help you get it set up and work with it. I would love to offer help to get this program in as many schools as possible.
