A book-length resource for teachers and students to learn about North Carolina. Over 400 pages of teacher resources (including rubrics and answers) and student pages provide a greater depth and breadth to North Carolina studies than any other resource for middle and secondary students. These sections consist of lesson materials for students related to North Carolina. The lessons contained herein are intended for students in middle school, chiefly eighth grade, and are aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. This project is not intended as new research on North Carolina. Instead, it is a compilation of available resources made accessible for today's youth. Research and data from disparate sources have been distilled into discrete units for helping students understand North Carolina - the state, its peoples, and its place in the world. This project is intended to introduce students and teachers to North Carolina and help them develop interest in and appreciation for this diverse and fascinating state. Many pages are also translated into Spanish. Individual components are uploaded separately in both English and Spanish for easier reference. This work is modular; each section can be used in isolation if desired to support instruction in Social Studies, math, English, or other topics.
