Linking Literature with Life: The NCSS Standards and Children’s Literature in the Middle Grades Alexa A. Sandmann and John F. AhernNCSS, Bulletin No. 99, 142 pp. 2002 This book was written by two experienced educators for teachers in search of children’s literature that conforms to the social studies standards and that students in grades 5-8 really like. After initial chapters that offer guidelines for using children’s literature in the social studies classroom, the authors present ten chapters that recommend suitable books for teaching each of the ten themes of the standards. The authors’ descriptions of all books include teaching suggestions that show how teachers can make the most of the books in the social studies classroom. All kinds of books are represented--picture books, factual works, fiction, and poetry. |
