My California

Experience the story of California in a whole new way with My California. With 128 full color pages the My California state history curriculum engages the student using a unique, reader friendly, newspaper format that works perfectly in homeschool and classroom environments. Instead of overwhelming the student with another textbook each issue consists of a 4 or 8 page handout covering a specific time period or topic.

Colorful maps, photos and illustrations are used to draw the reader into the fascinating history of California. That story is told as if it is current news, not a stale list of dates, where the people and places of the past come to life as if they were with us today. Interactive questions draw the student even further into the text, encourage the student to ask questions, and strive to create “teachable moments” between the student and instructor. Make My California a part of your students curriculum and prepare to embark on a journey neither one of you will ever forget.

My California consists of 32 issues. Each issue is further divided into bite sized articles focused on specific events or topics, giving you the ability to tailor each lesson to the interests of your student(s). A mid-term test and final exam are also included. The program is supported by an extensive 300+ page Comprehensive Teacher’s Manual full of historical background, lesson plans, ideas for optional activities and copy masters.

Our Land Publications history programs have been used successfully in both public and private schools, charter schools as well as by countless homeschoolers. Click on the product links below for more information on the various components of My California.
