Annotated Bibliography Colonial America Tracy Makda-Gaynor Children s Literature Colonial America History is an important part of education.
Many students find history boring.
Students tend to shy away from literature that is focused on history, because they don t think it will be interesting. This is why I have chosen to look at colonial America. This is a part of history that is not only significant to the beginning of our country, but a good way for children to look at how society and technology has changed since the 1500s. In looking at colonial America, students can also explore racism, gender roles, and different cultures. Students need to understand why it is important to respect diversity.
