Teachers and students can brainstorm together, creating a list of criteria appropriate and meaningful to the unit. As students act out history, it comes alive. The Level A and Level B handbooks allow students of different abilities to be involved in learning about the same topic, but with slightly different assignments and expectations. Each title includes a CD with a huge collection of photos, clip art, and other media that can be used to create exciting presentations. The bonus items vary from package to package, but they always make teaching easier and learning more exciting.
Examples are maps, charts, blueprints, simulation cards, diagrams, and story cards.
These useful resources help teachers give whole-class presentations. Standards First, a general list of standards is correlated to specific activities. Then, each activity begins with a specific list of related standards and benchmarks. This dual-correlation makes lesson planning and validation as easy as possible. Background Information Use the rich historical information to set the stage for a particular time period.
