A Great Addition to the Classroom,
By Sherri Suchy (Escondido, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 25 Mini-Plays: World History (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
This book of mini-plays is well written. When I read through this book, I found the plays to be very factual and easy to understand. The extension activities were tied directly to the mini-plays. As a teacher who doesn't like to "lecture" straight from the textbook, this book of mini-plays will totally come in handy in the classroom. I'm always looking for supplemental activities and this book fits well in that category. Great book!
