Great Teaching Tool!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have been looking high and low for a valuable, interesting, and yet relevant collection of teaching materials to use in the Social Studies/Government classroom; this is it! This is absolutely perfect for the teacher/instructor who wants to add spice to the curriculum. This book features activities and cool facts for U.S. History, World History, American Government, Consumer Economics, Sociology, Psychology, and Geography. The lists in this book would make either great hand-outs, additions to any speech, or perhaps fun FYI's for students. Some of the lists it includes: Political Assassinations, Unsuccessful Presidential Assassinations, U.S. Women's Firsts..., Early Indian Tribes of the U.S., Nautical Measurements, Notable Hispanic Americans, Current Names of Old Places, (and the list goes on). Many lists even cite where the information comes from. There are also puzzles, possible bingo games, and illustrated hand-outs. Although this book is titled for the "Social Studies teacher," it could definitely be used by any subject. The lists in this book could also be used as a reference. Just an all-around great teaching tool.
Very Helpful!

As a social studies teacher and a scholastic bowl coach I can say that I found this book to be a great resource. It is useful for not only memorization of facts but can be used in the classroom to develop some fabulous projects.
