    Study the Christian heritage of those who shaped America in Marilyn Boyer’s revised For You They Signed. This all-in-one edition offers both the student text as well as the assignments, quizzes, and cumulative tests.

    This study of our Christian heritage is focused on the historical events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. The early Founding Fathers of the United States of America were men of principle who debated important points of government, liberty, and the God-given rights of mankind. Their work and sacrifice created an enduring legacy that led to some of the most influential documents in history, like the Constitution of the United States of America.

    In this American history homeschool curriculum, your junior high students will have an opportunity to learn how the American colonists chose to respond to the increasing tyranny of the British Empire and why the course of revolution was one they took after all other efforts at relief had failed.

    Designed for grades 7-9, lessons contain a mix of source documents, related scriptures, short biographies, quotes, and real-world connections. The course includes a suggested daily schedule and a variety of exercises to enhance understanding of the course material.

    Course Objectives:

    • Evaluate the signers of the Declaration of Independence

    Review by Joy
    there is lots of information in this book, we used this in small bits, as to not miss the details
    It was a "miss' for us
    Review by JessieS
    Unfortunately both my 13 year old son and I found this government/history curriculum to be very dry and painful to get through. It's a lot of facts about each person which is great, but not likely to be retained much longer than it takes to fill in the worksheet question. We are just about halfway through the school year and on the hunt for something different to finish the year with. We agreed we just can't continue on with this one.
    Very Interesting

    We love the in depth look at each person and what they brought to our wonderful country.
    Great course!
    Review by Ana G
    My daughter loves this course! She has always enjoyed American History, but since she's been studying this course, she says she loves history. I personally also enjoy the stories and learning so much!
    Wonderfully written.
    Review by Jessica
    This was by far my 8th graders favorite book. We completed other History lessons before switching to MasterBooks but he still wanted to learn more so we purchased this thinking it may be a great addition to what he had already learned. It did not disappoint and he couldn’t go through this fast enough. It is very through without being dry and I enjoyed watching how eager my 8th grade was to tell me all about the presidents each day during our discussions.
    Love!

    This is a great addition to add into more than grade level for SS/history. MB always has a wonderful layout to follow and it's very engaging
    Open and Go
    Review by Dawn
    This all in one curriculum includes the text and worksheets in one volume. There is an introduction and then each section features information and worksheets about the signers of the Declaration of Independence for each colony. This could be completed independently by an older student and would provide a great deal of relevant historical information. I also think it would make a great book to incorporate into family studies by reading the text and discussing the questions together.
    Fascinating course
    Review by Laura
    Understanding the foundation of our country is very important. How many Americans can truly say that they know the values of the founding fathers and the sacrifices they made to ensure our freedoms that we enjoy today? The Declaration of Independence is often quickly taught without giving a second thought to the men behind the signatures. This book is packed with information for each signer including a summary of their basic personal information and public service timeline in government. It is formatted in a way that isn’t overwhelming. To reinforce what has been read, there are worksheets for every 2 to 2.5 pages. At the end of the book are all the teacher resources such as quizzes, tests and answer keys. This book is truly insightful into the heart behind the forming of The Declaration of Independence.
    Excellent Resource
    Review by Kathleen C
    This book covers the accounts of the lives of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. There are 15 lessons: 13 cover each state at that time along with an introduction and conclusion lesson.


    This All In One Edition Includes: Text, Worksheets, Quizzes, Answer Key, Daily Lesson Plans, Quotes, Bible Verses, Definitions, and a copy of the Declaration of Independence. You will learn how much each of these men believed in freedom and learn about the sacrifices they made for the county they loved.
    I highly recommend this book for your home library.
