McDougal Littell American History is a comprehensive, easy-to-use program that presents the history of the United States in a way that middle school students understand. Research shows that students are much more motivated to study history when they are actively involved in their learning. McDougal Littell American History provides this motivation by asking essential questions and bringing history alive through interactive exercises and hands-on activities. Through these interactive approaches, students will make personal connections to the people, events, and issues that form the rich tapestry of the American story.
