I do this a lot with 5th grade, especially as I taught Social Studies. Our curriculum covers the US from the Civil War to present day. Even picture books, or just reading pictures grab the students interest. My 5th graders love picture books because it gives them the ability to respond to history by seeing it as well as reading it. It also helps that I was born in 1950 & have lived through a lot of what we study, even relating stories my .uncles told me about WW II

I will forward your newsletter website to the rest of our elementary faculity. Thank you for your teaching tips.
