Bold Kids Pearl Harbor For Kids
Book SynopsisA great way to teach your children about the history of Pearl Harbor is through the use of books. They did not realize they were being attacked until they had seized the opportunity to do so. This led to the destruction of the US Pacific Fleet and the defeat of the Japanese Empire. Fortunately, the American military was strong enough to win this war, and the Japanese were unable to take control of the Hawaiian Islands.The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack by the Japanese on the US Navy on December 7, 1941. The Japanese did not anticipate this attack and were well-prepared. This meant that the US naval fleet had no chance of defending itself. Besides the US soldiers who were killed in the assault, there were 1,178 people who were injured and treated in the hospitals. Even though the attack surprised many people, the Japanese had planned the attack for months.

Penguin Putnam Inc Saving American Beach The Biography of African
Book SynopsisThis heartfelt picture book biography illustrated by the Caldecott Honoree Ekua Holmes, tells the story of MaVynee Betsch, an African American opera singer turned environmentalist and the legacy she preserved.MaVynee loved going to the beach. But in the days of Jim Crow, she couldn't just go to any beach--most of the beaches in Jacksonville were for whites only. Knowing something must be done, her grandfather bought a beach that African American families could enjoy without being reminded they were second class citizens; he called it American Beach. Artists like Zora Neale Hurston and Ray Charles vacationed on its sunny shores. It's here that MaVynee was first inspired to sing, propelling her to later become a widely acclaimed opera singer who routinely performed on an international stage. But her first love would always be American Beach.After the Civil Rights Act desegregated public places, there was no longer a need for a place like American Beach and it slowl

Taylor & Francis New Directions in Assessing Historical Thinking
Book SynopsisNew technologies have radically transformed our relationship to information in general and to little bits of information in particular. The assessment of history learning, which for a century has valued those little bits as the centerpiece of its practice, now faces not only an unprecedented glut but a disconnect with what is valued in history education. More complex processeshistorical thinking, historical consciousness or historical sense makingdemand more complex assessments. At the same time, advances in scholarship on assessment open up new possibilities. For this volume, Kadriye Ercikan and Peter Seixas have assembled an international array of experts who have, collectively, moved the fields of history education and assessment forward. Their various approaches negotiate the sometimes-conflicting demands of theoretical sophistication, empirically demonstrated validity and practical efficiency. Key issues include articulating the cognitive goals of history educatioTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsContributor BiographiesIntroductionPart I: Goals of History Education: Models of Historical Cognition and Learning1 Historical Consciousness in Germany: Concept, Implementation, AssessmentCarlos Kölbl & Lisa Konrad2 The Difficulty of Assessing Disciplinary Historical ReadingAbby Reisman3 Heritage as a Resource for Enhancing and Assessing Historical Thinking: Reflections from the NetherlandsCarla van Boxtel, Maria Grever & Stephan Klein4 Relating Historical Consciousness to Historical Thinking through AssessmentCatherine DuquetteCommentary 1 Into the Swampy Lowlands of Important ProblemsRobert B.

Square Fish Lincoln and Douglass
Book SynopsisOur sixteenth president is known for many things: he delivered the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address during the Civil War. He was tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he also had some very strong ideas about abolishing slavery, ideas which brought him into close contact with another very visible public figure: Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born a slave but escaped in 1838 and became one of the central figures in the history of the American abolitionist movement.This book offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship between two great American leaders. At a time when racial tensions were high and racial equality was not yet established, Abraham Lincoln and Douglass formed a strong bond over shared ideals and worked alongside each other for a common goal. Nikki Giovanni and Bryan Collier, the acclaimed team behind Rosa, winner of the Coretta Scott King Award and a Caldecott Honor book, join forces once more to portray this hist
