Elementary African-American History - Grades 3-6 This illustrated workbook offers an introduction to the history of the African-American experience in the U.S. from the era of slavery to the battles for civil rights. This book includes biographies and a cultural history, written at a level that most younger students will find to be approachable and easy to follow. The workbook format includes many multiple-choice and open-ended questions after each passage, with which students can practice reading comprehension and writing skills while reinforcing the important lessons of African-American history.The history passages in this workbook were selected to give the reader a sense of the time and place they report. While not comprising a comprehensive history, the topics will support and enlarge an ongoing study of our nation's history. Reading comprehension is also addressed in this workbook. The last questions at the end of all passages are open-ended. Some questions require an understanding of the passage. Others simply use the theme of the passage as the basis for an invitation to creative writing. If you would like your students to get more writing experience, the open-ended questions will work very well for this purpose. Many of the multiple-choice questions simply require direct feedback of information given in the passage. Some, however, require some thought and analysis. It is important for your students to practice and learn these reasoning skills.
