US History Plans
Secular US History Curriculum
36 Weeks of US History from Pre-Columbian North America through 2015.
**This is a pre-order. You will receive the first 10 weeks of plans now. Then receive 5 weeks of plans on the first of every month until they are complete.**
In the weekly schedule, you’ll find reading assignments, videos to watch, writing activities, and hands-on projects. Both the 2-5 Plans and the 6+ plans are included! They follow the same outline but have differentiated reading and videos.
To get the writing activities, purchase the LitHouse Learning US History Writing Workbook.
