News for June, 2009

School's out for summer! There are a lot of things that we are working on, including creating handouts to accompany the latest Prentice Hall history textbooks. We are first working on United States History: Reconstruction to the Present (2008). These are terrific textbooks for use in the classroom, with a lot of nice interactive features on their CD-roms, but we like having something a bit more practical--even "simple"--when working with students. Our first batch of handouts for this book, available here, are one-sided sheets containing the section checkpoints and terms. These are ideal for guided reading use in the classroom or at home.
