Encouraging all students to experience history by getting personally involved with the content, this book teaches history to students through mock trials, role-playing, political cartooning, period photography, creative writing and journals, building 3-D models, making masks, and music. Combining theory and practice, the book also utilizes lesson objectives, reproducible handouts, questions for discussion, and assessments—including journals, portfolios, and student self-assessments.

This review is from: Living History in the Classroom: Integrative Arts Activities for Making Social Studies Meaningful (Paperback)
This book is okay! It has given me tons of great ideas! Personally, I enjoy the History Alive (TCI) series better, but this one has been interesting also. I'm in the beginning stages of my teaching career and am finishing up my second student teaching internship. This book has been helpful on occassion.
