Guide for Parents Using
Exploring America
Exploring America provides material for one entire school year in three subjects:
American history, English, and Bible. To complete one credit in American history, one
credit in English, and one credit in Bible, the student must read the text in Exploring America
Part 1 and Part 2 and complete the weekly and daily assignments as they are given in
those volumes.
Students should complete each day’s assignments on that day. The actual time spent on each
subject on a given day will vary, but you should allow your student about 2 1/2 to 3 hours per
day to complete all the assignments.
We believe that you are in charge of your child’s education and that you know best how
to use this material to educate your child. We provide you with tools and instructions, but we
encourage you to tailor them to t your child’s interests and abilities and your family’s situation
and philosophy. You might need to experiment with the curriculum for two or three weeks to
know how your student can use it most eectively in your situation. Being able to do this is one
of the benets of homeschooling!
Course Descriptions
You can use the following course descriptions as you develop your school records, produce
a high school transcript, or report grades.
American History. The student will survey American history from the time of the Native
Americans and rst European explorers to the administration of Barack Obama. The course
discusses actions and developments on the national level, especially involving the Federal
government, as well as issues and events in American culture. The course places special emphasis
on the role of slavery and subsequent racial issues in American history. The student will read a
signicant number of original documents and speeches while studying the narrative of lessons.
English (American Literature and Composition). The student will read classic works of
American literature, from The Scarlet Leer to The Giver. The literature includes novels, short
stories, essays, autobiographies, memoirs, poetry, and hymns. How the literature reects the
historical seings of the works is a particular emphasis. The student also has several writing
assignments. Historical issues in the various periods of American history are the basis of many
writing assignments. The writing assignments take several forms, including essays, editorials,
speeches, and leers. The curriculum assigns a research paper in the second half of the course
(see page xii in Part 1). Note: You also have the option of assigning other kinds of projects for each
unit as alternatives to writing. You will need to decide how often your student will complete a writing
assignment and how often he or she will complete another project.
Bible: Issues in American Christianity. The student will examine developments in American
religious history, from the role of religion in the founding of the colonies to contemporary moral
and spiritual issues such as abortion and evolution. The student will study American religious
movements such as the First and Second Great Awakenings, Fundamentalism, and religious
groups founded in America. The student will also study how religion and spirituality have
played a role in the unfolding of American history. Bible studies bring Biblical teachings to bear
on the historical issues discussed.
ii
Student Review Pack
The Student Review Pack has a great deal of material that you might nd helpful for increasing
your student’s understanding of the course and for giving you a way to know and grade your
student’s grasp of the content. It is an optional supplement that contains the following three
components.
The Student Review includes review questions on each lesson and on some of the readings
from American Voices as well as literary analysis of the books assigned in the curriculum. (The
literary analysis is also available on our website through the link given on page vi.)
The Quiz and Exam Book has a history quiz to be taken at the end of each unit. In addition,
after every ve units, it has a history exam, an English exam, and a Bible exam. This makes a
total of six exams in each subject over the course of the year.
The Answer Key contains answers for the Bible study activities at the end of the lessons, for
all of the lesson and literature review questions, and for the quizzes and exams.
Suggestions for Grading
To earn credit in American history, English, and Bible, the student should complete the
assignments listed on the second page of each unit introduction and at the end of each lesson,
except for the Student Review, which is optional. A weekly assignment checklist is available
on our website.
You have several activities that you can include in arriving at a grade for each subject.
These activities include: Bible memory work; unit projects (writing assignments and hands-
on projects); review questions for each lesson, for the readings in American Voices, and for the
literature selections; unit quizzes on history; and exams every ve weeks on history, English,
and Bible. You can give equal weight to each element, or you might choose to give dierent
weight to each component.
Depending on the chosen topic, you might choose to grade some of the weekly writing
assignments as history or Bible assignments instead of as English assignments. You might
choose to grade some of the readings in American Voices as Bible assignments when they deal
with topics that are related to Bible study. You might also count some of the literature titles as
English or Bible work. For instance, you might count Co. Aytch and Up From Slavery as reading
for history. You might count In His Steps and Miracle in the Hills as part of the Bible credit.
Grades are usually assigned on a percentage basis for an individual assignment and as
leer grades for a semester on the basis of the cumulative assignment grades. We recommend
giving an A if the average weighted grade is 90% or above, a B for 80-89%, a C for 70-79%, and
a D for 60-69%.
If your child consistently gets grades lower than 60%, you might need to evaluate his readiness
to study a course with this level of diculty. On the other hand, you might need to adjust your
expectations. You might consider an additional grading element based on your perception of
your child’s overall grasp of the material. This is another advantage of homeschooling: you can
judge how well your child understands the material and how he or she is growing from the
study in ways that are not reected by test and assignment scores.
We designed this curriculum to cover what we believe a high school student should learn
about American history. Helping a student pass a CLEP or AP test was not our primary goal.
However, this course provides a good foundation for preparing for those tests, combined with
one of the test preparation books that are available.
iii
Teaching Writing
The three most important activities to help students write well are reading good writing,
writing as frequently as possible, and having his or her writing critiqued by an experienced
writer or teacher.
You can nd many aids to help you in teaching writing. The Online Writing Lab from Purdue
University is an excellent source that is available on the Internet. We have found The Elements of
Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White to be concise and helpful. This book is available from
Notgrass Company and many other sources.
Other resources that have been recommended to us include The Elegant Essay by Lesha
Myers, Format Writing by Frode Jensen, Writing Skills by Diana Hanbury King, and Teaching the
Essay and Teaching the Research Paper by Robin Finley. The Institute for Excellence in Writing
oers comprehensive instructional courses, and Reconciliation Press oers writing instruction
services. These suggestions are oered as resources you can investigate. We do not endorse one
program over another.
Grading Writing Assignments
Teaching writing skills can sometimes feel more like an art than a science. We know
good writing when we read it, but trying to explain why we like it is like trying to
explain why we like a particular avor of ice cream. Good writing engages the reader
and makes him or her want to keep reading. It covers the subject well and uses proper
mechanics (spelling, grammar, and punctuation). Good writing informs, inspires,
and sometimes challenges the reader. Above all, good writing says something of signicance.
Because dening good writing is dicult, giving a grade to a writing assignment can be
somewhat subjective. What is the dierence, for example, between an A paper and a B paper?
One student might write the best that he or she can, and it still might not be as good as what
another student writes with less eort. What grade should you assign to each student’s work?
In addition, how can the grades you give reect a student’s improvement over the course of a
year? After all, we hope that the student will be writing beer at the end of the year than at the
beginning.
A grade for a writing assignment usually has two elements: one is mechanics, and the other
is coverage of the subject maer. Noting errors in spelling and punctuation is relatively easy.
Misused words and awkward sentences might be more dicult to detect. The most dicult
part of grading is determining whether or not the paper is organized well and covers the topic
adequately.
Beginning with the highest possible grade of 100, you might want to take a point o for
every misspelled word, punctuation error, or grammatical error. An awkward sentence might
count two or three points o. A paragraph that does not ow well or have a clear purpose might
cost ve to eight points. You can also consider whether the paper is well-expressed but has
mechanical errors as opposed to its being poorly expressed but mechanically good. We suggest
not giving a grade on the writing assignment until the student submits the nal version of the
assignment. Use the rough draft as a teaching opportunity.
It is fair to have higher expectations later in the course. Also, if a student has numerous
mechanical or grammatical errors in a paper, covering the paper with red ink might do more
harm than good. Instead, focus on what appear to be the three most serious or common mistakes
and don’t worry about the rest at that point. When the student has corrected these problems,
move on to other problems to correct in later papers.
iv
The website of the College Board, which administers the SAT and CLEP examinations, has
an Essay Scoring Guide that its graders use. On their website, you can read this guide and also
read sample essays and see why those essays received the scores they did. In addition, the
National Assessment of Educational Progress program of the U.S. Department of Education has
information available online about its writing assessment.
You will probably nd it helpful to have someone outside your family read one or more of
your student’s essays and give constructive feedback at some point during the school year.
Maps and Timelines
If you want map resources to supplement your study of Exploring America, consider Uncle
Josh’s Outline Map Book or Uncle Josh’s Outline Map Collection CD-ROM from Geography Maers.
Other available resources are the maps.com United States History Atlas, the Hammond Atlas of United
States History, and U.S. History Map Activities by Walch Education.
Timelines of U.S. history are available from Geography Maers and other publishers. You
might consider creating your own timeline in the format that works best for you, such as a chart,
successive pages in a book, or a long sheet you can post on a wall.
Notes About the Literature
These are the twelve books we chose for the English component of Exploring America:
• Units 2-3: The Scarlet Leer
• Units 6-7: Narrative of the Life of David Crocke
• Unit 8: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
• Units 9-11: Uncle Tom’s Cabin
• Units 12-13: Co. Aytch (pronounced Company “H”)
• Unit 15: Humorous Stories and Sketches
• Units 16-17: In His Steps
• Unit 18: Up From Slavery
• Unit 19: Mama’s Bank Account
• Units 20-21: Miracle in the Hills
• Units 22-23: To Kill a Mockingbird
• Unit 27: The Giver
We chose literature that is upbuilding, that won’t assault your faith or sense of decency.
Some of the books we included have words or ideas with which you will be uncomfortable (as
we are). We want to let you know about them in case you want to do some editing before your
child reads the books or in case you want to substitute another book. You might want a parent to
read a book aloud to the student and skip over inappropriate words. Our family has done that
with several of these books.
However you decide to use them, we believe that the overall impact of these books for good
outweighs the use of inappropriate words. A few of the books use the derogatory form of Negro,
which we do not use or encourage but which was the cultural practice in the seings of those
books. The editions listed below are the ones that are available from Notgrass Company.
v
The Scarlet Leer (Dover)
This novel begins with an act of adultery having already taken place. The book focuses on
what happens in the community and with individuals as a result of that sin. There are no graphic
scenes or suggestive language.
Narrative of the Life of David Crocke (University of Nebraska)
The book has several references to drinking and geing drunk (pages 30, 42, 150, 153). It also
has graphic descriptions of the horrors of war (pages 88-89, 105, 109-110, 122) and two uses of
expletives (pages 39, 95).
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (Dover)
This book includes a few expletives, some wrien as d— (pages 4, 15, 53, 56, 57, 58, 74). It also
refers to sexual exploitation of slaves (page 31).
Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Dover)
The Lord’s name or an abbreviation of it is used as an exclamation numerous times. The
treatment that Tom receives at the hands of Simon Legree is quite brutal.
Co. Aytch (Touchstone/Simon & Schuster)
Many of the descriptions of injuries and death in bale are quite graphic. This book has
several expletives or uses of the Lord’s name as an exclamation (pages 16, 25, 39, 49, 64, 67, 72,
92-93, 103, 123, 157, 164, 166-169, 174, 204, 226, 234, 238). It also has a suggestive joke on page 75.
Miracle in the Hills (McGraw-Hill)
Mrs. Sloop expresses a few ideas with which we disagree, including: acceptance of the
belief that the earth was formed over millions of years, the use of demeaning terms for African
Americans, compulsory school aendance laws, and a resistance to corporal punishment.
To Kill a Mockingbird (Warner Books)
This book has several uses of the derogatory form of Negro, several uses of the Lord’s name
as an exclamation (especially harsh ones on pages 194 and 274), a few references to women
as whores or sluts, and several instances of the h-word and the d-word. Other expletives or
questionable topics are found on pages 5, 54-55, 128, and 161. A key element of the laer part of
the book is a white girl accusing a black man of assaulting her.
To Kill a Mockingbird deals with dicult subjects such as racism, rape, and other sinful
aitudes and actions. It helps readers understand the social environment in the South in the
early 20th century, but it does so quite realistically. This is a good book for parents to read aloud
to the family, or at least to discuss with their children.
The Giver (Laurel Leaf/Random House)
This novel describes a community that appears to be perfect but in fact is not. It contains a
brief reference to a boy beginning to feel “stirrings” toward a girl, and this is handled by his
parents giving him pills. Older persons are “released,” and this is found to mean that they are
euthanized. The father of the main character is a nurturer of newborns, and he is found to have
taken the life of a baby that is not thriving.

Alternate Literature Selections
If you choose not to use one or more of the books that we suggest for this curriculum, here
are some other titles for you to consider:
• Instead of The Scarlet Leer, you might use Calico Bush by Rachel Field. This 1932
Newbery Honor book is set in northern Maine in 1743.
• Instead of Narrative of the Life of David Crocke, you might use one of James Fenimore
Cooper’s novels.
• Instead of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, you might use Carry On, Mr.
Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham. This 1956 Newbery Medal book is an historical novel
about the career of an American who developed important navigational tools.
• Instead of Co. Aytch, you might use Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt. This 1965 Newbery
Honor book is set during the Civil War.
• Any of the Lile House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder would be excellent for learning
about life on the American frontier in the late 1800s.
• Sgt. York: His Life, Legend, and Legacy by John Perry is a good account by a Christian
writer about the World War I hero’s entire life. The book contains two curse words,
both in quotations by people other than York.
• Instead of To Kill a Mockingbird, you might use Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred
Taylor. This 1977 Newbery Medal book is set in Mississippi in the 1930s.

A suggested essay (about 400 words):
Miracle in the Hills and To Kill a Mockingbird are
both set in the rural South in the early twentieth
century. Miracle in the Hills is a memoir that tells
about Eustace and Mary Sloop, a husband-and-wife
doctor couple who blessed and transformed the
Appalachian community of Crossnore for forty years.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel set in the small town of
Maycomb in southern Alabama that wrestles with the
issue of prejudice. They both tell powerful stories but
in dierent ways.
In both seings, community expectations are strong.
The ways of doing things in Crossnore go back for
generations. Most people saw no need for new schools,
improved medical care, and other changes available
in the twentieth century. In Maycomb social paerns
are also rmly set, and to challenge them is to risk
widespread disapproval. The prejudice in Crossnore is
against outsiders; the prejudice in Maycomb is against
blacks and any whites who extended them any unusual
consideration. The Sloops brought many changes to
Crossnore, and the people eventually accepted them.
Mary Sloop led in bringing these changes, primarily
through her willingness to press for change and her
unwillingness to accept things as they were. The only
changes perceptible in Maycomb were in the aitudes
of Scout and Jem Finch, primarily through the words
and actions of their father. Aicus Finch did not go
on any campaigns for reform; he simply taught his
children what he thought they needed to know and
defended Tom Robinson against an unjust charge
when he needed an aorney.
The children of Crossnore were the focus of
Mary Sloop’s eort to build schools, stop moonshine
production, and end child marriages. She wanted to
give the children of Crossnore the chance for a beer
life than they had known. To Kill a Mockingbird is told
through the eyes of one child, Scout. By her words
we learn the insights she gained about Boo Radley
and her town. Both books remind us that children are
dependent on adults to provide, protect, and guide
them.
Miracle in the Hills shows what one person can do
through determination and prayer to make a dierence,
even when longstanding social paerns are set against
you. To Kill a Mockingbird shows us that when one
person does what is right, he can live with himself, set
an example for his children, and begin to push back the
barriers of prejudice.
