American Journey puts history in your students' hands with timelines, essays, document descriptions, pictures, captions, essays, maps, more than 200 important documents, and 500 pictures on each disc. Your students will be able to explore the private thoughts and ideas of people in history without the filter of edited or abridged text. They will be able to draw their own conclusions as they follow their own interests and take their own journeys through history. Students will discover history through important paintings, music, legislation, and memoirs by selected related items, searching the subject index, and browsing the picture album. Additional resources direct them to other books, videos, museums, and recordings for further study. They can find the quotations, illustrations, and testimony they need for their research. They can print the pictures and documents they find and incorporate them into presentations and reports for more vivid and realistic depictions of what actually happened in American history.
