Legends and Lore U.S. History module is a fresh take on exploring the original texts and stories that have persisted throughout the ages to become the imaginative imagery of our ancestors. Heather has a gift for translating history through an exciting lens, building up understanding of true historical happenings though the stories and legends of the past, complimented with hands on activities that require active minds and encourage creative interactions with the historical texts and places. The modules are well laid out and easy to navigate. There is plenty of content to explore set up in Heather’s unique way to encourage learners of all types to be comfortable and find their own way through history. In the words of my teenage son, “Oh, wow! That’s cool. I really like that idea.”

Heather Woodie’s “Legends and Lore” is a creative and interesting American History course for high school. So often by the time our students get to high school, American history can feel boring and played out. Heather’s unique approach adds life and encourages curiosity in a subject that can feel redundant, particularly in the early years of American history. I appreciate that this course can stand alone as a full history course and it can be easily be used to supplement an existing curriculum. The modules give a wide variety of easy-to-access resources and also offer a wide variety of assignments for your student. The activities are easily modified, allowing for interest-led investigations and accommodations based on the strengths and challenges of your student. “Legends and Lore” is a great choice for both neuro-typical and neuro-divergent students and is an exceptional value.
