Harcourt Horizons with Parent Guide CD-ROM Copy: Harcourt Horizons curriculum guides students through social studies while integrating chart and graph skills, map & globe reading exercises, citizenship lessons, basic reading skills, primary source use, and other cross-curricular elements.
The Student Text organizes content into units, chapters, and lessons. Students have the opportunity to start a unit project, which is completed at the end of the unit. Individual lessons include a “big idea” and new vocabulary sidebar (vocab words are highlighted throughout the lesson), as well as a unique “focus skill” (e.g. categorization, making inferences, compare and contrast). A review question signals the end of each short section, with a final end-of-lesson review that quizzes students on the big idea, vocabulary, the chapter focus skill, and main concept; an activity is also provided. Chapters and units conclude with review and test preparation. Special skills pages focused on maps, charts, and other key elements are also integrated throughout. A glossary, index, biographical dictionary, and gazetteer are included in the back of the book.
This Grade 5 curriculum, “United States History,” includes 8 units which cover:
