A Student Workbook for Land of Hope

This Student Workbook for Wilfred M. McClay’s Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story will be an invaluable supplemental resource for students and teachers who use Land of Hope as a textbook for courses in U.S. history. Prepared by Dr. McClay in collaboration with Dr. John McBride, a master teacher with more than thirty years of secondary and collegiate teaching experience, it is an exceptionally rich and useful tool for classroom instructors. The Student Workbook is designed to be used in tandem with the Teacher’s Guide to Land of Hope and includes additional materials, such as extensive map exercises, that will build students’ geographical knowledge. In the Student Workbook, each chapter of Land of Hope receives a four-part treatment: questions and answers about the chapter, short objective tests suitable for quizzes and exams, a primary-source document for class analysis, and questions and answers to accompany the document. In addition, the Student Workbook contains special units to assist students in understanding the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Finally, in addition to the map exercises, the Student Workbook features handy reference tools for student use and an extensive list of suggested topics for research papers and further investigation.
