I taught American History along with the Art teacher and English teacher. We did a unit on WWI with the novel War Horse, the Viet Nam War that in included a story teller, a unit on Child Labor with Jacob Riis photos and the movie Newsies and a unit on WW II with Swing Kids. We also did research papers DURING class time we could teach the students how to gather, organize and present information. Like Mary Beth, I, too, am thinking of the teachers at this time and often throughout the year. I've never heard of Unbound, what an appalling thought. Thank you for alerting us. BTW, Jess, you are so on target with context. Sequence, cause and effect and compare and contrast are necessary concepts our students need to understand.
To you both, Jess and Mary Beth.... the most iconic or greatest American literature contributor, Mark Twain or John Steinbeck?
Ok, ok, Pearl S Buck, Maya Angelou, Willa Cather, or any of the indescribably talented women authors this country has produced is a perfectly acceptable answer. ЁЯШЬЁЯл╡ЁЯТк
Saaaaame! I always thought the same

Our downfall is directly related to Junior High football coaches teaching civics/social studies.......
