Page 1, General Information: Designed to work hand in hand with the Our Land of Liberty U.S. history program, the Comprehensive Teacher's Manual provides the instructor with everything needed to make teaching the program a success. Using an easy to follow format the instructor is guided through each issue in a way that makes planning easy and minimizes preparation time.
Page 2, Resources for the instructor: The text of each issue is accompanied by lesson goals, detailed notes and background information which provide the essential "facts behind the facts" for each lesson. Response boxes explain the thought behind the interactive questions within the text while question and reaction boxes suggest even more ways to stimulate the student's mind and encourage dialogue. Copy masters and ideas for optional activities are included as well, allowing for easy customization of the program to the talents and interests of your student(s). The manual also includes the answer guides to the mid-term and final tests. (Colored frames added for clarity, the actual text is grayscale)
