Description
The non-fiction Common Core aligned readings and primary source Document Pamphlet series: Discovering America is designed to help students read for information and think critically while forming their own ideas. Students and adults alike will discover history by looking at artifacts constructed by the people who shaped the United States of America. Perfect for any classroom, from Fifth Grade to college, this series engages students and prompts them to think for themselves, question, reflect and gain a deeper understanding of history. In this edition, students discover the prolific Patrick Henry — who some historians credit as firing the first figurative shot of the Revolution in his fiery “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. Read select letters written by Henry, engage in his oratory, learn about his life and decide for yourself the impetus behind a man called one of the greatest Patriots in the history of America.
