Breaking Away From the Textbook - Creative Ways to Teach World History

Informationen zum Autor Ron H. Pahl is a history buff with more than 100 articles and five books published. He has traveled almost everywhere in the world including crossing the Arctic and Antarctic Circles the same year. Currently he is coordinator of social studies education at The California State University Fullerton. Klappentext Teaching history should not simply be an endless recitation of irrelevant facts, entombed between the covers of a textbook. Instead, Breaking Away from the Textbook offers a fascinating journey through world history. Not a comprehensive, theory-heavy guide, this book instead focuses on exciting classroom activities, methods for students to grapple with human issues, and innovative ways to show students the relevance of the past to the world today.
