Summary:
"Teaching History, Learning Citizenship: Tools for Civic Engagement stands out from other books for several reasons. First, it provides ready-to-use lesson materials on important historical topics, already likely to be part of the history curriculum. Primary sources are modified for young readers, with graphic organizers and ideas for other instructional support. Lesson materials are presented in a way that allows teachers flexibility in the way lessons are designed"-- Provided by publisher.
