Copywork Handwriting Practice | 100 Days Classic Literature | Grades 1-5
100 days of real handwriting practice pulled word for word from four public domain classics, growing from The Tale of Peter Rabbit to The Wind in the Willows for grades 1 through 5.
Twelve real historical documents, from a German embassy warning to a decoded telegram, trace the path from the sinking of the Lusitania to America’s declaration of war, in the actual words of the people who lived it. Students source each document, weigh what it says against what it leaves out, and build toward a full synthesis essay arguing whether the sinking was a cause, a catalyst, or both. Part of a larger World War I curriculum line, and built to work completely as a standalone unit on its own. Built for grades 9-12, with a documented way to flex down for strong grade 6-8 students.
Step into a real 1915 inquiry as a junior investigator building the file the official report couldn’t. Five sealed evidence envelopes guide students through decoding a real wireless transmission, reconstructing a damaged cargo record, and auditing an official document for what it quietly leaves out. No locks required, just careful reading and cross-referencing. Includes a full facilitator guide, answer key, self-check card for solo play, and three differentiation tiers for grades 3 to 12, but geared mostly towards middle and high school. While it is an escape room, it’s built like a real inquiry, and not simply not a treasure hunt: every stage ends in a written hypothesis, judgment call, or argument.
Send your student into a real conversation with history. This 10-page printable guide teaches students to ask specific questions, listen for the story beneath the story, and treat a family member’s memory as the primary source it actually is.

Part of the Five Pillars of the Declaration of Independence framework.
