The History Hunters Youth Reporter Program curriculum, provided
in workbook format, is closely tied to both Pennsylvania and District
Standards and Core Curriculum for 4th and 5th grades, and is adaptable
to 8th grade as well. It focuses on literacy, with a strong writing
element and “read to” component, while providing an
overview of Pennsylvania history and an introduction to the four
historic houses that students visit during the year long History
Hunters program. Previsit readings and activities prepare students
for their visits and provide background information they will
need as they assume the role of “investigative reporters”
on site. Reporter “assignments” are provided as postvisit
writing follow-up, and these articles are later posted in colonial
newspaper format on the History Hunters website.
The copyrighted workbook material is available in pdf format
by section. We invite you to download this material for use in
your classroom or as enrichment. Schools participating in the
History Hunters Youth Reporter Program receive complimentary
printed workbooks for their students. For information on how to
