| Description: |
This text provides teachers with a guide to books based on true family experiences in America. It features themes such as immigration, frontier life, Native American life, city life, country life and life during war time. These family stories are paired with activities which continue the themes. |
| Synopsis: |
This is an excellent resource for objectives-based education. Because the foundation of the social studies curriculum is the family, A Window into History gives teachers an engaging method for introducing students to books that are structured as personal narratives of family histories. These books, both fiction and nonfiction, combined with highly appropriate activities and projects, build themes around community, history, and cultural or social differences. In addition, the variety of cultural backgrounds in the titles makes A Window into History especially valuable in programs that emphasize multicultural issues. Recommended teacher resource for grades 3-8. |
