Land That I Love

They Rewrote American History and Redefined America

Beschreibung

Evelyn Jones loves teaching, and she loves history. Her mission is for her students to become exceptional. American history becomes their beacon and their guide. History enables them to soar to greater heights than they thought possible, and that Evelyn ever imagined. History is not just a school subject; it is the brightest of beacons that leads these students to become not just knowledgeable, confident and exceptional, but amazing. Mike now knows that, one day, people all over the world will study what he has yet to discover. Teneesha knows that the books she has yet to write will make her as famous as Mark Twain and Jane Austen. Pete doesn't have to wait. What he discovers means every encyclopedia in every school and every library will have to be rewritten. November 5th is America's Name Day. Yes, America has a Name Day, and Emily knows that if she works at it, one day it could become a national holiday as important as the Fourth of July. She also knows that four languages spoken on two continents gave us the words that became America. >Join them on their journey. Sit with Emily and Marie as they discover what the word America means. Laugh with Aaron and see why Pat divides the world into two kinds of people. Learn why Jeremy says Colonel Doubleday had nothing to do with America's game. Discover, along with Shirley, what the words Washington and Lincoln actually mean. Explore with Mike why his teacher's mission links so closely to the parable of the talents and to the Theorem of Pythagoras. Then listen as Julio sums it all up in one powerful, heart-felt speech. Land That I Love is about history and about American exceptionalism. It shows how anyone can use what they learn to grow in confidence and to become exceptional.
