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:  The Land and Early People (U.S. Geography, the Earliest Americans) Time of Encounters (Spanish conquerors, the European Settlement) The English Colonies (New England Colonies, Middle Atlantic Colonies) The American Revolution (French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War) A New Nation (the Constitution, National growth) Civil War Times (slavery and freedom, new industries) The Twentieth Century (the Great War, global conflict) The United States and the World (the United States today, the American economy) The Homeschool Parent Guide CD-ROM replaces the standard teacher's edition, and includes daily lesson plans, teaching suggestions, answers to the student edition activities, and chapter test assessments. The Activity Book provides one activity worksheet per lesson that reinforces the concepts and skills in the text. Newsprint-like pages are perforated and three-hole-punched.
