shinyhappypeople Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Has anyone used this for American history? Like it? Hate it? Why? Do you think it might work as a read-aloud for a precocious 8 yo and typical 9 yo? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, using it, love it. I'm doing it with Miss P who is 9, your kids are the perfect age. We are doing SOTW 3 and (as discussed on another thread) it is very heavy on the documentary/stories of great men style of history. Zinn's book focuses on social history, particularly of typically underrepresented (in history books) groups. It is an excellent complement to (any) other history book, I think. It's leading to some great discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
