Christian Heritage Teacher Guide

Teacher Guide for the 36-week, high school history course!

The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Christian Heritage course, which includes:

• Instruction that honors the courage and faith of our founding fathers
• A study of For You They Signed, with detailed glimpses of all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence

OVERVIEW: This Christian Heritage study is focused on the historical events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. The early Founding Fathers of the United States of America were men of principle, who debated important points of government, liberty, and the rights of all men. Their work and sacrifice created an enduring legacy that led to some of the most influential documents in history, like the Constitution of the United States of America. In this study, you will have an opportunity to learn how the American colonists chose to respond to the increasing tyranny of the British Empire and why the course of revolution was one they took after all other efforts at relief had failed. Once their decision was made, they signed the Declaration of Independence and in doing so, carved out a remarkable and powerful recitation about the rights of individuals which come from God Himself. In the accounts of their life before and following their signing of the Declaration, you will discover the immediate impact of this document on the fledgling nation and the families of those who stood boldly for the cause of freedom.

FEATURES: An easy-to-follow calendar that provides weekly lessons with clear objectives, guided readings, and a record for graded assignments.
