Our state standards emphasize providing students with multiple perspectives both in Literacy and Social Studies. However, our textbooks for America History tend to only focus on one perspective. The novels and pictures books will be used to introduce themes and events in history.
It is important for students to see themselves in the stories of our country. The books in this project will influence the way we look at the stories in America history. The biographies will give students more choice when we study important people in history and provide them with role models who look like them.
