Teaching the History of Childhood.
Downey, Matthew T.
Social Education, v50 n4 p262-65,267 Apr-May 1986
A major purpose of the study of history is to give students a context beyond themselves and the times in which they live. This article describes how to use children's history to achieve this purpose, provides titles of numerous resources for teaching about children's history, and recommends a process of supplementing historical fiction to facilitate this endeavor.
