U.S. History II: Teacher’s Guide
The U.S. History II: Teacher’s Guide is sure to be your most trusted ally this final high school year! It has 35 weeks of ‘open and go’ 4-day plans that are each shown on a 2-page spread. U.S. History II is written with the busy homeschool student in mind, so each week of plans takes only 4 days, leaving the 5th day free for students to pursue individual interests.
Daily plans take about 7 hours. Following the plans as written will allow your student to earn 7 – 7 ½ total credits for this year of study. This guide is ideally targeted for students in grade 12.

- U.S. History II (1 full-year credit)

More about this guide
Each day of plans addresses both academic and spiritual needs, making sure not to neglect either area. Plans give clear guidance in expectations for your high school student each day and feature a balanced approach to learning.
The guide uses narrative books as the core of the student’s education to cover needed academics in a living, engaging manner. The design and layout of the guide provides clear direction in calculating grades, counting credits, and recording courses for transcript purposes. The guide also includes course descriptions.
Note: It is important to consult your state laws for specific requirements for credit and to be aware of the entrance requirements for any college or university your student plans to attend. For students in states that require a full credit in Economics, the ½ credit in the “Finance” course combines with the ½ credit in the “Economics” course to earn one full credit in Economics.
Note: For transcript purposes, students may combine the ½ credit of Spanish II earned in the U.S. History I guide with the ½ credit of Spanish II earned in the U.S. History II guide to list 1-full year credit in Spanish II instead.
