The TEACH page includes a wealth of materials to support the learning goals of the mission, including comprehension questions, writing prompts, vocabulary activities, and primary source analysis.

Mission US engages young people in the study of transformational moments in American history. Each mission consists of an interactive narrative game and curriculum materials aligned to national standards. The games immerse players in rich, historical settings and empower them to make choices that illuminate how ordinary people experienced the past.
