Breaking Away from the Textbook: Creative Ways to Teach World History - Paperback

by Ron H. Pahl (Author)

Teaching history should not be reciting an endless list of dead men, entombed between the covers of a textbook. Instead, Breaking Away from the Textbook offers a fascinating journey through world history. Not a comprehensive, theory-heavy guide, this book focuses onactive classroom activities, methods for students to grapple with humanity's issues, andinnovative ways to show students the relevance of the past to the world today. The key to this wonderful work is its incorporation of various disciplines including art, music, and writing to create a fun and active classroom. Appropriate for all grade levels.
