IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

These are PL OK, though I would like to mention that you skipped a (1) in case you'd like to add it since you included all other numbers. It's at bottom of page 19, would go around 23:03 in the recording of Section 1.

It is interesting to get an insight into an example of an American school curriculum, as most of what I have previously heard is propaganda that shows very little knowledge about teaching or content, and often commented about something called the "American education system" which I believe you wont be able to find as far back as 1776. Usually, we were told that more than half of the history classes in USA were only focused on american history, or something like 25% world history, 25% local history, and the rest as national history, apparently.
