This package is designed to motivate your students to be better people, with the long-term effect of becoming part of a new generation of independent and responsible citizens.

How? We use true stories from one event in America’s past. From those stories, we learn valuable life lessons that students can use right away. But there’s more: Each video contains questions that make the students think of how the lessons relate to them. 

They can motivate teens and pre-teens to activate qualities they don’t know they have and discover values that inspire their personal growth.

Values like self-reliance (instead of dependence), responsibility (instead of victimhood), or results (instead of excuses), Determined to protect those values…Our children will likely become model citizens despite government intrusion and overreach.

NOTE: There is no religious or political slant here; however, our kids can awaken their own sense of civic duty or divinity with these videos.

The Net-Results Are Five-Fold:

(1) An unexpected and welcome bond just begins to develop between parent and child due to the questions that accompany each video.

(2)  With these questions, critical thinking skills begin to develop.

(3) Students actually witness proof of what their human nature is capable of – what they can achieve on their own and the success they can enjoy today. Self-discovery is rewarding and even fun. Imagine this result for your child.

(4) Students get a sense that American history is persuasive, rewarding, and very personal. Or, in teen talk, “awesome.”

(5) Our children get to watch actual proof of their ability to be imaginative, courageous, generous, empathetic, decisive, independent, and self-reliant. These are American values, which our kids will readily embrace

They will likely protect them, and, as a result, may not notice that they are becoming responsible citizens.

Our children can feel great about themselves and recognize that – for the very first time in your classroom – their lives have value and meaning.

What do you suppose happens to their self-esteem?

All because you are making it possible with your purchase.

By the way, there are 7 distinct advantages to learning American history by video:

  1. Improved Engagement: Videos are a more engaging media than traditional learning materials. By presenting the content in a dynamic and visually appealing way, it can capture their attention and make learning more enjoyable. Using true stories of unknown Americans and life lessons, students can be emotionally invested in the content, leading to a greater interest in learning about American history. Is that a duh?!
  2. Enhanced Retention: Another advantage of using videos to teach American history is that it can help to improve retention of the material. By presenting true stories of unknown Americans, students can see how the concepts they are learning about are applied in real life, making it more memorable and easier to recall in the future.
  3. Development of Critical Thinking: By including questions that directly connect the students to the lessons, videos can encourage the development of critical thinking skills. This can help students to analyze and interpret the information presented, making connections between the historical events and their own lives, and ultimately gaining a deeper understanding of the significance of American history. Additionally, the life lessons presented in the videos can help students to develop a sense of empathy and understanding for others, as well as inspire them to make positive changes in their own lives.
  4. Improved Visual Learning: One of the biggest advantages of using videos to teach American history is that it provides a more visual learning experience. Videos can show historical events, people, and places in ways that textbooks and lectures cannot, making it easier for students to understand and remember the information.
  5. Greater Accessibility: Another advantage of using videos to teach American history is that it can make the content more accessible to a wider range of students. Many students, especially those who are visual or auditory learners, may struggle with traditional teaching methods. By incorporating videos, educators can create a more inclusive learning environment that accommodates different learning styles.
  6. Flexibility: Videos are also a flexible medium, allowing students to watch them on their own time and at their own pace. This can be particularly useful for students who need to review the material or who are absent from class.
  7. Improved Retention: Finally, videos can help improve retention of information. By presenting information in a visual and memorable way, students are more likely to remember key details and concepts. Additionally, the questions that directly connect the student to the lessons can help students to retain information and develop critical thinking skills.Check this.
