Baer, Allison L.
History Teacher, v45 n2 p283-296 Feb 2012
This article aims to present an annotated bibliography of paired books--one fiction and one informational--about multiple topics in history and social studies that, when read together, can help support students' learning through experiencing the topic from multiple perspectives and voices. It begins with a brief rationale for pairing fiction and informational texts and explains how to choose and use them wisely. The remainder of the article is an annotated bibliography of paired books that includes suggestions for effective strategies that enhance learning. Additional suggestions for books by subject are included in a brief bibliography at the end of the article. (Contains 17 notes.)
