Give voice to pivotal personalities of the past and the events surrounding them with this history series! Along with biographical sketches of selected historical figures, each book also provides a time line to help students make connections between the lives of the featured Americans and the other events of their time periods. Excellent for use as full unit or as a supplement to the curriculum, each book supports No Child Left Behind and correlates with the standards set by the National Council for Social Studies as well as with National Standards for History. (Each book in this series must be purchased separately).

Teach students that importance is not measured solely by fame. Covering both the historically famous, such as Benjamin Franklin and Booker T. Washington, as well as the lesser-known, like Dorothea Lynde Dix, these biographical sketches will deepen students’ factual knowledge while research questions launch them into further investigations. 128 pages
