Key vocabulary is bolded and recycled. For example, the Valentine’s Day unit embraces the words romance, affection, sweetheart, companion, feelings and others that are then reviewed in matching exercises, sentence completions, and Internet tasks. Black and white photos further add to the celebration. Special appendices extend learning with relevant holiday “documents” (The Pledge of Allegiance, MLK’s I Have a Dream speech, etc.), gift-giving customs, and traditional songs. An answer key is in the back. Holidays included aside from the most common: President’s Day, St. Patrick’s, Easter, Memorial Day, The 4th of July, Election Day, Veterans Day, Cinco de Mayo, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and Yom Kippur

Elected President only to see the nation fracture in two, Lincoln led a confused and frightened people through the most terrible war in their history. At the same time, his own household mirrored the fissures that split the nation: the great emancipator was married to the daughter of a slave owner from Kentucky.
