Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary by exploring the people, ideas, and events that continue to shape our nation. This guide invites educators to use literature, primary sources, and inquiry-based classroom activities to help middle and high school students explore America’s history, consider diverse perspectives, and reflect on their role as informed and engaged citizens.
This guide is designed to support meaningful learning well beyond the anniversary itself and throughout the school year. Teachers can select individual or multiple texts based on grade level, curricular goals, or instructional needs, while using the included discussion prompts and activities to foster thoughtful dialogue, critical thinking, and civic engagement.
