Starting on "A History of US"
I have just finished the first few chapters of the Hakim book, and am having a great time reviewing history! I can see already how this information will add to my teaching next year - (scary thought, since it's only May now, right?) As I get further into the chapters, I am looking forward to adding to this blog, and reading others as well.

Donna, I enjoyed your enthusiasm for the book and the ideas you already thinking about adding to your class next year. Her writing style is quite exciting, isn't it? I feel like history has come alive under her influence! I wish text books had been written like this when I was in school - of course, I don't think most text books are written like this today, either!
ReplyDeleteI agree that these types of books keep your attention so much more than the traditional text book. I think my biggest goal for next year is to make sure the history lessons are not only informational but interesting.
