We thank you for your purchase! This lesson is a fantastic beginning of the year introduction to your U.S. History class. We love this lesson because it helps students become acquainted with skills that may be unfamiliar. The lesson also opens them up to different perspectives and allows them to share their own ideas about America's Ideals. 

This 7 day lesson bundle is so rewarding and the benefits of it include getting students:

• In the mindset to think critically
• Engage with one another
• Question 
• Empathy Development
• Exposure to different perspectives
• Skill building
• Set work quality expectations

This is lesson that works for us and we wanted to share it with others and frankly save Social Studies teachers hours of their life! Please read over the following slides for some tips and tricks we have learned along the way. We hope this lesson brings your class as much fulfillment as it has brought ours.
