This series revels in the idea that history doesnt have to be a dry memorization of dates. Students will learn about the Industrial Revolution, slavery, World War I, and suffrage through lively narratives that are woven with enthralling firsthand accounts and awe-inspiring primary sources. Quotes, newspaper excerpts, transcripts, posters, paintings, and diary entries immerse readers in each era, as they learn about the people and conditions that created these historical events. While this set is an excellent resource for essays and reports, its also a great way to engage reluctant readers and to create a true lifelong enthusiasm for history.
