Alexis de Tocqueville Democracy in America Commenting on the plight of Native Americans who were forced, by the U.S. federal government, to leave their lands and migrate to unknown places. Long before Europeans arrived to settle the land now known as the United States, Native Americans were already living in those places. Divided into their own nations, they made their own weapons, found and grew their own food and raised their families on ancestral tribal lands. By the time Andrew Jackson was America’s 7th president, however, Native Americans were not only losing their land, they were in danger of losing their culture.

  • Am AMERICAN HERITAGE
    AMERICANAm HERITAGE DAY DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much, and look for spiritual applications that can be learned from the person’s life.

At this point, most of the entries relate to American history of the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries, though there are a few books dealing with other times and topics. Entries are organized first into broad categories of either historical fiction or non-fiction, and then by historical period or topic. Each entry is also noted for age appropriateness. If you have your own recommendations we would love to hear from you. If fact, the list is meant to be added to. Please feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] and tell us why you (or your child) thinks a book should be placed on this list! Historical Fiction American History, General: Lyon, George Ella.
