Use this as an all-year resource or as a condensed unit! Mix and match the different sections according to your specific classroom needs.
This resource has been developed as a crossover lesson of language arts and social studies. History teachers will find this very useful in incorporating writing across the curriculum! English teachers will find this as a fun way to add relevant history to lessons on research methods. You’ll find writing prompts, poetry activities, letter writing, news research, and a few creative pages to keep your artistic students engaged!
Many of the pages are specific to your individual state, while others make for easy tie-ins from the national to state level (i.e. How did the Civil War/Industrial Revolution/Westward Expansion affect your state?)

“Used this as part of a packet for my students' state booklet - worked great and everyone really liked the opportunity to ‘add color.’” – K.S.
“This is just what I was looking for my son! We just moved to a new state and for our homeschool I wanted a packet that covered everything. Thanks!” – L.F.
