    Study the Christian heritage of those who shaped America in Marilyn Boyer’s revised For You They Signed. This all-in-one edition offers both the student text as well as the assignments, quizzes, and cumulative tests.

    This study of our Christian heritage is focused on the historical events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. The early Founding Fathers of the United States of America were men of principle who debated important points of government, liberty, and the God-given rights of mankind. Their work and sacrifice created an enduring legacy that led to some of the most influential documents in history, like the Constitution of the United States of America.

    In this American history homeschool curriculum, your junior high students will have an opportunity to learn how the American colonists chose to respond to the increasing tyranny of the British Empire and why the course of revolution was one they took after all other efforts at relief had failed.

    Designed for grades 7-9, lessons contain a mix of source documents, related scriptures, short biographies, quotes, and real-world connections. The course includes a suggested daily schedule and a variety of exercises to enhance understanding of the course material.

    Course Objectives:

    It was a "miss' for us
    Review by JessieS
    Unfortunately both my 13 year old son and I found this government/history curriculum to be very dry and painful to get through. It's a lot of facts about each person which is great, but not likely to be retained much longer than it takes to fill in the worksheet question. We are just about halfway through the school year and on the hunt for something different to finish the year with. We agreed we just can't continue on with this one.
    Very Interesting
    Review by Ashley
    We love the in depth look at each person and what they brought to our wonderful country.
    Great course!
    Review by Ana G
    My daughter loves this course! She has always enjoyed American History, but since she's been studying this course, she says she loves history. I personally also enjoy the stories and learning so much!
    Wonderfully written.
    Review by Jessica
    This was by far my 8th graders favorite book. We completed other History lessons before switching to MasterBooks but he still wanted to learn more so we purchased this thinking it may be a great addition to what he had already learned. It did not disappoint and he couldn’t go through this fast enough. It is very through without being dry and I enjoyed watching how eager my 8th grade was to tell me all about the presidents each day during our discussions.
    Love!

    This is a great addition to add into more than grade level for SS/history. MB always has a wonderful layout to follow and it's very engaging
    Open and Go
    Review by Dawn
    This all in one curriculum includes the text and worksheets in one volume. There is an introduction and then each section features information and worksheets about the signers of the Declaration of Independence for each colony. This could be completed independently by an older student and would provide a great deal of relevant historical information. I also think it would make a great book to incorporate into family studies by reading the text and discussing the questions together.
    Fascinating course
    Review by Laura
    Understanding the foundation of our country is very important. How many Americans can truly say that they know the values of the founding fathers and the sacrifices they made to ensure our freedoms that we enjoy today? The Declaration of Independence is often quickly taught without giving a second thought to the men behind the signatures. This book is packed with information for each signer including a summary of their basic personal information and public service timeline in government. It is formatted in a way that isn’t overwhelming. To reinforce what has been read, there are worksheets for every 2 to 2.5 pages. At the end of the book are all the teacher resources such as quizzes, tests and answer keys. This book is truly insightful into the heart behind the forming of The Declaration of Independence.
    Excellent Resource
    Review by Kathleen C
    This book covers the accounts of the lives of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. There are 15 lessons: 13 cover each state at that time along with an introduction and conclusion lesson.


    This All In One Edition Includes: Text, Worksheets, Quizzes, Answer Key, Daily Lesson Plans, Quotes, Bible Verses, Definitions, and a copy of the Declaration of Independence. You will learn how much each of these men believed in freedom and learn about the sacrifices they made for the county they loved.
    I highly recommend this book for your home library.
    Excellent study of our Founding Fathers
    Review by Rebecca V.
    I have always believed that one of the most important things is knowing and understanding what the foundation of this country was built upon. This course is an absolute must for students looking to further their understanding of the Christian roots of America’s history and to learn what standing strong for God means.

    For You They Signed is an all-in-one course that takes your student through year-long study of the Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence. This course is written at a 7th to 9th grade level and is set up to follow a 36-week schedule at 5 days a week. It includes a daily schedule, answer keys, assessments, and application assignments. There is also an emphasis on note-taking and highlighting the text for review purposes.

    It really is such a well-written course with detailed information about each signer. The variety of activities keeps this course exciting and helps to draw your student into the history. The details included make this just a beautiful text. I am so excited to be able to utilize this course in our homeschool and see how it builds the character of my children.
    MUST READ
    Review by Lacee
    I LOVE the redesign of this book to make it an all in one for Middle School and early High School. My son will be doing it next year. I loved the original set and this just makes it so much better. It is completely open and go.

    In typical, Master Books fashion this book is beautifully done. Amazing pictures, easy to understand text, exercises to help solidify information and help you truly think about what you're reading. It focuses on the achievements, character, and overall lives of all the signers of the Declaration of Independence. You will get to know each signer and what they believed and wanted for our great nation, some more in depth than others that were not as well known. Now more than ever students need to go through this book; adults too. The first quote in the Background section of the book sums up the importance of this book and the knowledge it contains: "A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we have come from, or what we have been about. Woodrow Wilson"

    I definitely encourage you to do this curriculum with your students, or even just on your own.
