This 434-page, 36-week curriculum offers a vibrant and inclusive journey through U.S. history, beginning with Indigenous civilizations over 30,000 years ago and continuing through the timeline to the present day. Students explore the contributions, resilience, and brilliance of Black, African, Asian, Latinx, Muslim, LGBTQ+, and Indigenous people and nations, with a focus on justice, empathy, and historical complexity. Each week features unique, creative print-and-go activity pages, curated reading and video suggestions, discussion prompts, vocabulary review, glossaries, quizzes, and optional off-the-page enrichment. Designed to support a wide range of learners, this curriculum is flexible, engaging, and deeply researched—with a touch of humor and heart (and, yes, a lesbian prairie dog named Susan). If you're working with a mixed-age group, choose the edition that best fits your oldest student—this version is rigorous enough for advanced middle schoolers, while the high school edition offers deeper analysis for older learners.
