Summary: One of my favorite teaching resources!
Comment: This is wonderful book for an American history teacher. This diverse collection of poems is accessible for readers of all levels. I have used the book with 7th and 8th graders, but am sure it would be fine for younger students as well.

The pages reproduce easily and clearly. One side offers students background to that era or individual. The author thoughtfully includes a vocabulary box that defiens words that your average middle school students might not know (ie Victory Garden, Tory, Jalopy). The poems all have attractive illustrations.

The ones that have been successful in my classes are a poem that allows the reader insight into George Washington's thoughts upon his inaugeration. The War of 1812 poem is a shenty in the voice of an impressed sailor. I had my 7th grade class recite it aloud and I feel that it brought a difficult topic to life.

There are alos peoms dealing with Harriet Tubman, Civil Rights, The WWII Homefront, Ellis Island, the New Deal, Farmers' loneliness and the Transcontinental Railroad. I always return to these worksheets again and again.

The new teaching standards encourage students to read documents and these are a great introduction. I have used many of these poems as motivational activities. This is well worth the money anda great addition to American history lesson plans!
