This review is from: A Day in the Life of a Colonial Schoolteacher (Library of Living and Working in Colonial Times) (Hardcover)

This book is part of a great series of 6 books about colonial businesses. They include:
q Colonial printer
q Colonial wigmaker
q Colonial silversmith
q Colonial schoolteacher
q Colonial blacksmith
Each book tells a fictional story about a worker during the Colonial period. The books are illustrated with historical photos as well as line drawings. The important vocabulary is highlighted with a glossary in the back for student use. It also has Internet connections for further research. I used these in my classroom as a set. I gathered about 6 copies of each book from the local libraries. I made short questionnaires about each book. Students were required to read at least three, but most read all of them. Students used the information to give supporting details to their colonial monologues for their portfolios.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will spark lively conversation for young history students!, September 20, 2007

This review is from: A Day in the Life of a Colonial Schoolteacher (Library of Living and Working in Colonial Times) (Hardcover)

Kathy Wilmer shows the world of education in colonial times for both boys and girls in this beautifully illustrated volume.

Young readers will come away from this reading experience understanding the shool day -- what was taught, how it was taught, school supplies, school discipline, etc. There is a glossary for review.

Highly recommended for great educational and entertainment value!
