Ace Middle School History!
Funded Mar 11, 2022Oh how we've appreciated these books that your donation provided. They have provided us with countless opportunities to practice nonfiction reading skills. While I teach Middle School Social Studies, I see my classroom as an extension of the English and Language Arts program. Each week, I plan lessons to support students as readers and writers.
With the "Everything you need to Ace American History" books, students are able to focus on the main ideas of key events in American History. The books give a great overview of important moments, while focusing on vocabulary and crucial details. In contrast, the "Guts and Glory" books pull students into the study of the Civil War through the use of factual, exciting, and detailed stories. The books bring history to life while showing students that use of a strong "voice" in writing can be a compelling technique.
All students have benefited from the purchase of these books. For struggling readers, the simplified text of the "Everything you Need..." book provides stress-free access to the social studies curriculum. For excelling students, the same book is a favorite because those students can quickly understand historical events before moving on to more detailed primary and secondary documents.
You can feel confident that your donation was not only desperately need, but has been greatly appreciated by me and each of my students.”
