Key Features:
• Eight fully developed instructional units
• Primary-source analysis and contextual grounding
• Experiential and applied history activities
• Writing and reflection assignments
• A college-level Capstone / Legacy Project
• Standardized evaluation rubric
University-Level Course Adoption Overview
This curriculum companion is suitable for undergraduate courses in:
• American History
• American Studies
• Public History
• Museum Studies
• Honors Seminars
• Independent Study
The curriculum is modular and flexible, allowing instructors to integrate it into survey courses or use it as a stand-alone primary-source seminar. A required Capstone or Legacy Project positions students as interpreters and stewards of historical memory.
This companion functions as both an instructional guide and a student workbook, making it ideal for classroom adoption, homeschool transcripts, and lifelong learning programs.
