Summary:

When we published Land of Hope in May of 2019, we had an immediate response from teachersand students that (1) they loved the book, and (2) they would need ancillary materials to aid them inthe use of the book for classroom instruction. We jumped right on that, and produced a Teacher'sGuide, which appeared in spring of 2020, and we're now following up with a Student Workbook, whichis completely coordinated with the Teacher's Guide, featuring study questions (which can also beused for testing by teachers), objective exercises (matching, identification, temporal ordering),primary-source documents and accompanying study questions, a section of map exercises whichinclude in-text outline maps for student use, as well as back-of-the-book resources such as referencetables for the British monarchy, the American presidency, and a list of suggestive questions that aresuitable for extended essays or term papers. It is the perfect resource for both classroom teaching,home education, and hybrid versions of both.
