America Well-Stated Volume 1: The First 13

Volume 1 - Delaware through Rhode Island >How well do your students really know the United States? America Well-Stated Volume 1 takes middle schoolers on a journey through the original thirteen colonies - the states that started it all. Every chapter goes far beyond memorizing capitals. Students discover the story behind Georgia's Cherokee Rose and its connection to the Trail of Tears, the Native American word that gave Connecticut its name, the lake in Massachusetts with the longest name in the country, and how a famous poem written during the War of 1812 became Maryland's most enduring contribution to American culture. They explore Pennsylvania's three treasured founding documents, the surprising truth about where the Statue of Liberty actually stands, eight U.S. Presidents born in Virginia, and the remarkable story of Rhode Island's Ida Lewis - the woman called the bravest in America. Each state chapter is packed with multi-skill activities that build knowledge while sharpening core academic skills. Puzzle formats include secret codes, crossword grids, word searches, Sudoku variations, math equations, grammar practice, rhyming poems, and more. Designed for homeschool families and classroom teachers in grades 5-8, America, Well-Stated can be used as a stand-alone unit study, a curriculum supplement, or an enrichment resource. No prep required - just print and go. Answers are included at the back of this volume. Part of a five-volume series covering all 50 states plus Washington DC.
